Got an error  _pickle.PicklingError use Dataset.from_spark.

Did the dataset import load data from spark dataframe using multi-node Spark cluster
df = spark.read.parquet(args.input_data).repartition(50)
ds = Dataset.from_spark(df, keep_in_memory=True,
                        cache_dir="/pnc-data/data/nuplan/t5_spark/cache_data")
ds.save_to_disk(args.output_data)

Error : 
_pickle.PicklingError: Could not serialize object: RuntimeError: It appears that you are attempting to reference SparkContext from a broadcast variable, action, or transforma
tion. SparkContext can only be used on the driver, not in code that it run on workers. For more information, see SPARK-5063.
