@Ankith Patlolla​ :

The reason you're getting the error "cannot modify the value of a spark config - spark.shuffle.compress" is because you're trying to modify a Spark configuration property that is marked as final and can't be changed after the Spark application has started.

In Databricks, the recommended way to set Spark configuration properties is through the spark.conf.set() method in a notebook or job. However, some Spark configuration properties, like spark.shuffle.compress, cannot be modified after Spark has started. If you need to set spark.shuffle.compress

in Databricks, you can set it in the Spark configuration of the cluster. Here's how you can do it:

1. Go to your Databricks workspace.
2. Click on the "Clusters" tab.
3. Select the cluster for which you want to set the spark.shuffle.compress property.
4. Click on the "Edit" button.
5. Scroll down to the "Spark" section and expand it.
6. Click on the "Advanced Options" tab.
7. In the "Spark Config" field, add the following line: spark.shuffle.compress true
8. Click on the "Save" button.

This will set the spark.shuffle.compress property for the selected cluster.
