I would like to know what is the difference between Interactive Clusters and Job Cluster? There are no official document now.</P> <P></P> Wed, 21 Mar 2018 07:38:32 GMT https://community.databricks.com/t5/data-engineering/what-s-the-difference-between-interactive-clusters-and-job/m-p/28897#M20662 Van-DuyetLe 2018-03-21T07:38:32Z https://community.databricks.com/t5/data-engineering/what-s-the-difference-between-interactive-clusters-and-job/m-p/28898#M20663 <P></P> <P>As per the documentation</P> <P>Interactive clusters are used to analyze data collaboratively with interactive notebooks. Job clusters are used to run fast and robust automated workflows using the UI or API.</P> <P>So, while in development phase, you will mostly use interactive cluster. On the other hand once you move to production where things are more in a automated way, job clusters comes in picture.</P> <P></P> Fri, 03 Aug 2018 04:44:13 GMT https://community.databricks.com/t5/data-engineering/what-s-the-difference-between-interactive-clusters-and-job/m-p/28898#M20663 Ritesh1 2018-08-03T04:44:13Z https://community.databricks.com/t5/data-engineering/what-s-the-difference-between-interactive-clusters-and-job/m-p/28899#M20664 <P></P> <P>I think you meant "job clusters come in picture" at the end of your comment. <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":winking_face:">😉</span></P> <P></P> Tue, 16 Oct 2018 06:14:40 GMT https://community.databricks.com/t5/data-engineering/what-s-the-difference-between-interactive-clusters-and-job/m-p/28899#M20664 rene_nadorp 2018-10-16T06:14:40Z https://community.databricks.com/t5/data-engineering/what-s-the-difference-between-interactive-clusters-and-job/m-p/28900#M20665 <P></P> <P>Thanks for the correction <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span></P> <P></P> Sun, 07 Apr 2019 14:44:49 GMT https://community.databricks.com/t5/data-engineering/what-s-the-difference-between-interactive-clusters-and-job/m-p/28900#M20665 Ritesh1 2019-04-07T14:44:49Z https://community.databricks.com/t5/data-engineering/what-s-the-difference-between-interactive-clusters-and-job/m-p/28901#M20666 <P></P> <P>The documentation is a bit clearer now - <A href="https://docs.databricks.com/clusters/index.html" target="test_blank">https://docs.databricks.com/clusters/index.html</A> </P><P></P>Databricks makes a distinction between <I>interactive clusters</I> and <I>automated clusters</I>.
