Cannot run Classroom-setup (Coursera: Distributed Computing with Spark)

andremahfouz — Thu, 11 Jul 2024 12:31:08 GMT

Hello!

I'm using Databricks Community Edition as part of the coursera course with UCDavis Distributed Computing with Spark.

I'm having an issue with this command:

%run ../Includes/Classroom-Setup

It worked for me previously and I was able to mount the data for the first module.

I get the following now:

Screenshot:

Not sure what to do. Didn't change anything with the configuration file. Also reuploaded the .dbc file to make sure I didn't accidentally botch anything. Running on Windows 11 + Firefox.

Hi Kaniz.

Thank you for your prompt reply!

There's no problem with the paths or the directory. I tried to run the script directly from 'Classroom-setup', this is what I get:

The data mounts properly presumably but I get the error when trying to create the table that I assume is related to the Dataset-Mounts script.

What I think is happening is that the accessKey and SecretKey used to mount the data has expired or is outdated:

I re-downloaded the lessons.dbc file from Coursera to see if anything has changed but they're the same.

Adding this for further clarification, found when I expand the error:

I am having the same issue (same error message) as well with this coursera course. I've double checked the file pathing and everything looks correct. I am also using windows 11. I have not found any related resources online. Please advise.

Hey Ian, still nothing on my end. I've paid for Coursera Plus and I'm stalled here. If you come by a solution I'd appreciate if you let me know.

Hello Kaniz,

Thank you for your help! It seems multiple people are facing this issue, we've posted on the course forum over on Coursera and waiting for an update.
