Hi, I noticed that there is quite a significant delay (2 - 10s) between making a change to some file in Repos via Databricks file edit window and propagation of such change to the filesystem. Our engineers and scientists use YAML config files. If the...

I created translations for decoded values and want to save the dictionary object the DBFS for mapping. However, I am unable to access the DBFS without using dbutils or PySpark library. Is there a way to access the DBFS with OS and Pandas Python libra...
I'm using autoloader directory listing mode (without incremental file listing) and sometimes, new files are not picked up and found in the cloud_files-listing.I have found that using the 'cloudfiles.backfillInterval'-option can resolve the detection ...
I've been running a notebook using files-in-repo. Previously this has worked fine. I'm unsure what's changed (I was testing integration with DCS on older runtimes, but don't think I made any persistent changes)--but now it's throwing an error (always...
the documentation states that "drop table":Deletes the table and removes the directory associated with the table from the file system if the table is not EXTERNAL table. An exception is thrown if the table does not exist.In case of an external table...

The main problem was related to the network configuration of the storage account: Databricks did not have access. Quite strange that it did manage to create folders...Currently dbutils.fs functionality is working.For the zipfile manipulation: that on...

As part of my batch processing I archive a large number of small files received from the source system each day using the dbutils.fs.mv command. This takes hours as dbutils.fs.mv moves the files one at a time.How can I speed this up?
@Dean Lovelace​ You can use multithreading.See example here: https://nealanalytics.com/blog/databricks-spark-jobs-optimization-techniques-multi-threading/
I have uploaded a csv data file and used it in a spark job three months back. I am now running the same spark job with a new cluster created. Program is running properly. I want to know where I can see the previously uploaded csv data file.
