Databricks agent example

Tags: Spark, Integration, DistributedComputing, Data, Advanced

Flyte can be integrated with the Databricks service, enabling you to submit Spark jobs to the Databricks platform.

Installation

The Databricks agent comes bundled with the Spark plugin. To install the Spark plugin, run the following command:

pip install flytekitplugins-spark

Example usage

For a usage example, see Databricks agent example usage.

Local testing

To test the Databricks agent locally, create a class for the agent task that inherits from AsyncAgentExecutorMixin. This mixin can handle asynchronous tasks and allows flytekit to mimic FlytePropeller’s behavior in calling the agent. For more information, see “Testing agents locally”.

Note

In some cases, you will need to store credentials in your local environment when testing locally.

Flyte deployment configuration

Note

If you are using a managed deployment of Flyte, you will need to contact your deployment administrator to configure agents in your deployment.

To enable the Databricks agent in your Flyte deployment, see the Databricks agent setup guide.
