databricks-rocket 2.0.2

Keep your local python scripts installed and in sync with a databricks notebook. Shortens the feedback loop to develop projects using a hybrid enviroment

Databricks-Rocket

Databricks-Rocket (short db-rockets), keeps your local Python scripts installed and synchronized with a Databricks notebook. Every change on your local machine is automatically reflected in the notebook. This shortens the feedback loop for developing git-based projects and eliminates the need to set up a local development environment.

Installation

Install databricks-rocket using pip:

pip install databricks-rocket

Setup

Ensure you've created a personal access token in Databricks (offical documentation). Afterward, set up the Databricks CLI by executing:

databricks configure --token

Alternatively, you can set the Databricks token and host in your environment variables:

export DATABRICKS_HOST="mydatabrickshost"
export DATABRICKS_TOKEN="mydatabrickstoken"

If your project isn't already a pip package, you'll need to convert it into one. Use dbrocket for this:

rocket setup

Will create a setup.py for you.

Usage

To Sync Your Project

By default, databricks-rocket syncs your project to DBFS automatically. This allows you to update your code and have those changes reflected in your Databricks notebook without restarting the Python kernel. Simply execute:

rocket launch

You'll then receive the exact command to run in your notebook. Example:

stevenmi@MacBook db-rocket % rocket launch --watch=False
>> Watch activated. Uploaded your project to databricks. Install your project in your databricks notebook by running:
>> %pip install --upgrade pip
>> %pip install  -r /dbfs/temp/stevenmi/db-rocket/requirements.txt
>> %pip install --no-deps -e /dbfs/temp/stevenmi/db-rocket

and following in a new Python cell:
>> %load_ext autoreload
>> %autoreload 2

Finally, add the content in you databricks notebook:

To Upload Your Python Package

If you've disabled the watch feature, databricks-rocket will only upload your project as a wheel to DBFS:

rocket launch --watch=False

Example:

stevenmi@MacBook db-rocket % rocket launch --watch=False
>> Watch is disabled. Building creating a python wheel from your project
>> Found setup.py. Building python library
>> Uploaded ./dist/databricks_rocket-2.0.0-py3-none-any.whl to dbfs:/temp/stevenmi/db-rocket/dist/databricks_rocket-2.0.0-py3-none-any.whl
>> Uploaded wheel to databricks. Install your library in your databricks notebook by running:
>> %pip install --upgrade pip
>> %pip install  /dbfs/temp/stevenmi/db-rocket/databricks_rocket-2.0.0-py3-none-any.whl --force-reinstall
