Spark Introduction
Spark Introduction in Python
To run interactive Python shell in local Spark mode, run (on your local workstation or on cluster)
IPYSPARK=1 pyspark
The IPYSPARK=1 parameter instructs Spark to use ipython
instead of python
(the ipython
is an enhanced interactive shell than Python). If you do not want ipython
or you do not have it installed (it is installed everywhere on the cluster, but maybe not on your local workstations – ask Milan if you want it), leave out the IPYSPARK=1
.
After a local Spark executor is started, the Python shell starts.
