No, you don’t need to set those on DBR 7.3 and above.From 7.3+ Databricks already uses the newer Hadoop S3A connector by default, so those com.databricks.s3a.S3AFileSystem settings are not part of the default config and shouldn’t be added.If they are...

Hi Surya, Do you face this issue only with DBR 17.3 all-purpose clusters? Did you try with lower DBRs? If not, please try and let me know. Also, from the Run menu, try “Clear state and outputs,” then re‑run the cell on the same cluster to rule out st...

Databricks does not currently allow you to default to "execution_count": null (or "none") when stripping notebook outputs during a commit. The platform sets "execution_count": 0 as the default when outputs are stripped through their Git integration, ...

To install libraries in the normal (paid) version of Databricks, use the cluster management interface to add libraries to your compute resources. The process is similar to the Community Edition, but workspace policies and cluster access mode may rest...

To write an ObjectId value using Spark Mongo Connector 10.2.2 in PySpark while updating records, you must convert the ObjectId string into a special format. The Spark Mongo Connector does not automatically recognize a string as an ObjectId; it will o...

You are seeing inflated cost numbers because your query groups by many columns—especially run_id, task_key, usage_start_time, and usage_end_time—without addressing possible duplicate row entries that arise from your joins, especially with the system....

A persistent "GC Allocation Failure" in Spark jobs, where processes are stuck in the RUNNING state even after attempts to clear cache and enforce GC, typically indicates ongoing memory pressure, possible data skew, or excessive memory use on the driv...

There is no built-in Spark or Databricks method to gracefully stop a Structured Streaming query specifically at the end of the current microbatch, but several community and expert discussions propose common strategies to achieve this: Official and Co...

It’s a smart move to raise this question before investing lots of time—because with the Databricks VSCode extension, there are indeed specific limitations when it comes to accessing shared workspace folders that weren't originally created by the exte...

The error you are seeing when using mapInPandas in serverless compute with Environment version 2 is due to an incompatibility in the environment's supported Spark features. Specifically, Environment version 2 on serverless compute does not support ma...

Frequent VNet gateway errors in Power BI related to “DM_GWPipeline_Gateway_MashupDataAccessError” and memory allocation issues often stem from resource limits, configuration problems, or inefficient modeling—even with simple DAX. No single “permanent...

The error occurs because Databricks (based on GEOS/OGC standards) expects coordinates in Well-Known Text (WKT) that fall into valid ranges: Longitude (XX or first coordinate): −180≤X≤180−180≤X≤180 Latitude (YY or second coordinate): −90≤Y≤90−90≤Y≤9...

As of now, my current approach is to manually copy/paste YAMLs across workspaces and version them using Git/Azure DevOps by saving them as DBFS files. The CD process is then handled using Databricks DBFS File Deployment by Data Thirst Ltd.While this ...
