hi ,

Im a newbie learning spark using databricks , I did some investigation and searched if this questions was been asked earlier in community forum but unable to find anything so .

1. DBFS is unable to detect the file even though its present in it .

The issue happens only with below command

with open("dbfs:/FileStore/tables/data.txt") as f:

and not with

lines0 = sc.textFile("/FileStore/tables/data.txt"

Does this mean in databricks notebook we can't use python open function to open a file ?
