  • Option 1 - 1 CPU & 1700 Mi (Mebibyte) Virtual Storage Memory.

  • Option 2 - 2 CPUs & 1800 Mi (Mebibyte) Virtual Storage Memory.

• User API Key and User API Secret are optional to fill in this form. In case you want to use the Sprinkle SDK functions, it is mandatory to provide the API Key and API Secret. In the settings, these can also be provided after the Python Notebook is created.

  • To generate API Key and Secret, click on your user icon on the top right, then Account -> API Keys. 🖱️Click on Generate new, to create a new API Key and Secret for yourself.

Using Sprinkle SDK

Sprinkle SDK enables you to Import your data from sprinkle’s SQL Explore and Reports to be used in the notebook

• Import Sprinkle SDK

from sprinkleSdk import SprinkleSdk as sp

• Read Report

Reads data from the mentioned report into a data frame

df = sp.readReport('<report_id>')

• Read SQL Explore

Reads data from the mentioned SQL Explore into a data frame

df = sp.readExplore('<explore_id>')

Once data is imported, you can run all kinds of analyses using these data in your Notebook

• Create a table or update an existing table in the warehouse using a data frame

sp.createOrUpdateTable('<dataImportName>','<destinationTableName>', df)

Multiple tables can be created in a single Data Import. The data Import created using the above function can be seen in the Ingest -> File Uploads.

• Drop the table from the warehouse

sp.dropTable('<table_name>')

How to work on Spark session operations?

• Get spark session with default configurations

spark = sp.getOrCreate()

• Change the spark app name while creating the default spark session

spark = sp.appName('some-name').getOrCreate()

• Get a spark session where the user can customize the configuration

spark = sp.sparkBuilder()
appName('some-name')
.config("spark.some.config.option1", "some-value")
.config("spark.some.config.option2", "some-value")
.getOrCreate()
