Description
pyspark's accumulator server expects a secure py4j connection between python and the jvm. Spark will normally create a secure connection, but there is a public api which allows you to pass in your own py4j connection. (this is used by zeppelin, at least.) When this happens, you get an error like:
pyspark/accumulators.py: "TypeError: object of type 'NoneType' has no len()" in authenticate_and_accum_updates()
We should change pyspark to
1) warn loudly if a user passes in an insecure connection
1a) I'd like to suggest that we even error out, unless the user actively opts-in with a config like "spark.python.allowInsecurePy4j=true"
2) The accumulator server should be changed to allow insecure connections.
note that SPARK-26349 will disallow insecure connections completely in 3.0.
More info on how this occurs:

Error happens here:
https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/cb90617f894fd51a092710271823ec7d1cd3a668/python/pyspark/accumulators.py#L254
The PySpark code was just running a simple pipeline of
binary_rdd = sc.binaryRecords(full_file_path, record_length).map(lambda .. )
and then converting it to a dataframe and running a count on it.
It seems error is flaky - on next rerun it didn't happen. (But accumulators don't actually work.)
