Difference between "spark.table" & "spark.read.table"?

[Mado]

Hi,

I want to make a PySpark DataFrame from a Table. I would like to ask about the difference of the following commands:

spark.read.table(TableName)

&

spark.table(TableName)

Both return PySpark DataFrame and look similar. Thanks.

There is no difference between spark.table & spark.read.table function.

Inside of spark.read.table is again calling spark.table function.
