Can you help with this error please? Issue when using a new high concurrency cluster

Hello, I am trying to use MLFlow on a new high concurrency cluster but I get the error below. Does anyone have any suggestions? It was working before on a standard cluster. Thanks.

py4j.security.Py4JSecurityException: Method public int org.apache.spark.SparkContext.maxNumConcurrentTasks() is not whitelisted on class class org.apache.spark.SparkContext

@Tom Soto​ We have a workaround for this. This cluster spark configuration setting will disable py4jSecurity while still enabling passthrough

 spark.databricks.pyspark.enablePy4JSecurity false

hi @Tom Soto​ ,

The error message is coming from your high concurrency cluster's security model. This is build-in security model to restrict access to your data. Your code might work on standard cluster but not on high concurrency clusters.

Thank you for your response. I appreciate this but are you aware of any work around to use a high concurrency cluster as it is a special databricks function that is the issue
