Hi mlimotte,

This notebook ran for an older version of Spark - we will update it for Spark 1.4 in the next Databricks release. In general these tips still hold true:

1) If you want to figure out if a BroadcastHashJoin is happening or not - use %sql explain select

2) The analyze command is not needed for all table types now - such as when you create a table with ".saveAsTable"
