I created a Databricks job with multiple tasks. Is there a way to pass variable values from one task to another. For example, if I have tasks A and B as Databricks notebooks. Can I create a variable (e.g. x) in notebook A and later use that value in notebook B?
Thank you, Werner! From my understanding, if I put a notebook in %run command, I won't have it as a separate task in the job. However, I'd also like to keep the ability to see it in the task view for transparency. Is there a way to achieve that?
you could also consider using an orchestration tool like Data Factory (Azure) or Glue (AWS). there you can inject and use parameters from notebooks.
The job scheduling of databricks also has the possibility to add parameters, but I do not know if you can dynamically determine the input (based on another task).
Thank you! We're on Azure. Will explore Data Factory!
