All course content is currently being pushed by Raazesh Sainudiin after it has been tested in Databricks cloud (mostly under Spark 1.6 and some involving Magellan under Spark 1.5.1).
The markdown version for gitbook is generated from the Databricks .scala, .py and other source codes.
The gitbook is not a substitute for the Databricks notebooks available in the Databricks cloud. The following issues need to be resolved:
- need to find a stable solution for the output of various databricks cells to be shown in gitbook, including those from
display_HTMLandframeItwith their in-place embeds of web content.
Please feel free to fork the github repository:
Furthermore, due to the anticipation of Spark 2.0 this mostly Spark 1.6 version could be enhanced with a 2.0 version-specific upgrade.
Please send any typos or suggestions to raazesh.sainudiin@gmail.com
Please read a note on babel to understand how the gitbook is generated from the .scala source of the databricks notebook.
