How to use GLOW in Databricks Premium on AWS?

Hi!

Have connected workspace to AWS, but when I execute in a new notebook:

%python %pip install glow.py import glow from pyspark.sql import SparkSession # Create a Spark session spark = (SparkSession.builder .appName("Genomics Analysis") .getOrCreate()) # Register Glow with the Spark session glow.register(spark)

I get:

TypeCheckError: argument "session" (pyspark.sql.connect.session.SparkSession) is not an instance of pyspark.sql.session.SparkSession File <command-7248535564102662>, line 10 5 spark = SparkSession.builder \ 6 .appName("Genomics Analysis") \ 7 .getOrCreate() 9 # Register Glow with the Spark session ---> 10 glow.register(spark)

Any ideas how this is supposed to work? AI and googling did not help...

Solved this with the help of colleagues at last. First of all, it won't work with Serverless mode, so a cluster is required. Once the cluster is created in Compute section, on Library tab add those 2 libraries:

Then running:

import glow from pyspark.sql.session import SparkSession glow.register(spark)

works just fine!
