Databricks Community is a free online meeting place created for data practitioners, including Databricks users, partners, prospects, and employees, to post questions, get reliable answers from data experts and peers, network, and earn recognition along the way.
The Databricks Community is committed to creating a safe and inclusive virtual experience for our users, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, age, race, national origin, religion, or similar protected categories. We do not tolerate harassment in any form. All communication — including on posts, comments, public groups, private groups, as well as in email — should be ethical and appropriate for a professional audience, including people of many different backgrounds and experiences. Be kind to others. Act professionally. Remember that harassment, bullying, or sexist, racist, or exclusionary jokes of any kind are not appropriate or allowed at any time at any event organized or resource provided by Databricks.
