Hi,

There is no package called spark.implicits. 

Spark 1.x:

If you are using spark1.x version you will create sqlContext. By using sqlContext  you can call sqlContext.implicits

Example:

val sc = new SparkContext(conf)
val sqlContext = new SQLContext(sc)
sqlContext.implicits

Spark 2.x:

If you are using spark2.x version you will create session object. By using session you can call spark.implicits.

Example:

val spark: SparkSession = SparkSession.builder.appName(appName).config("spark.master", "local[*]").getOrCreate
spark.implicits

Note: If you are created session object using different name then you need to call with that reference name. 

For example,

val rangaSpark: SparkSession = SparkSession.builder.appName(appName).config("spark.master", "local[*]").getOrCreate
rangaSpark.implicits
