Enable the sparkmagic extension

  • Enable the server extension so that clusters can be programatically changed
jupyter serverextension enable --py sparkmagic
Enabling: sparkmagic
- Writing config: C:\Users\gerardn\.jupyter
    - Validating...
      sparkmagic  ok

Configure (config.json)

If you are creating/modifying this file, you need to restart the server

  • Create the config home
mkdir %USERPROFILE%/.sparkmagic
mkdir ~/.sparkmagic
  • Create in it the config.json configuration file.

Example on a not secured cluster (from config.json)

Endpoint:

Magics By Kernel

iPython - Magic Function by kernel

magics are special commands that you can call with %%

%%MAGIC <args>

IPython

From a ipython kernel

Example from magics in IPython Kernel.ipynb

  • Load the Sparkmagic
%load_ext sparkmagic.magics
  • The %%manage_spark line magic lets you manage Livy endpoints and Spark sessions.
%manage_spark
%spark?
%spark logs -s testsession
  • sql
%%spark -c sql
SHOW TABLES
%%spark -c sql -o df_hvac --maxrows 10
SELECT * FROM hivesampletable
  • Use the Pandas dataframe df_hvac created above via the -o option
df_hvac.head()

PySpark

https://github.com/jupyter-incubator/sparkmagic/blob/master/examples/Pyspark%20Kernel.ipynb

Context

The contexts are automatically created. There is no need to create them. ie

sc = SparkContext('yarn-client')
sqlContext = HiveContext(sc)
spark = SparkSession \
    .builder.appName("yarn-client") \
    .getOrCreate()

Dependent of the version, you may have the following variable names:

Configure

Session configuration

%%configure -f 
{"name":"remotesparkmagics-sample", "executorMemory": "4G", "executorCores":4 }

where:

  • -f change the running session
  • name is the application name and should start with remotesparkmagics to allow sessions to get automatically cleaned up if an error happened.

Sql

%%sql
use myDatabase

Then…

%%sql
select * from hivesampletable

log

See HOME/.sparkmagic/log

You need to have at least 1 client created to execute commands.

Your kernel has crashed. Restart it ?

Add a jar

With the configure magic:

  • Set the jars parameters
  • or set the conf spark parameters with the maven coordinates
%% configure
{ "conf": {"spark.jars.packages": "com.databricks:spark-csv_2.10:1.4.0" }}
