## Caching Data In Memory

Spark SQL can cache tables using an in-memory columnar format by calling `sqlContext.cacheTable("tableName")`.
Spark SQL can cache tables using an in-memory columnar format by calling `sqlContext.cacheTable("tableName")` or `schemaRDD.cache()`.
Then Spark SQL will scan only required columns and will automatically tune compression to minimize
memory usage and GC pressure. You can call `sqlContext.uncacheTable("tableName")` to remove the table from memory.

Note that you call `schemaRDD.cache()` alike `sqlContext.cacheTable(...)` in 1.2 release of Spark, tables will be cached using the in-memory columnar format.

Configuration of in-memory caching can be done using the `setConf` method on SQLContext or by running
`SET key=value` commands using SQL.
