How-To Guide
Databricks is an integrated workspace that lets you go from ingest to
production, using a variety of data sources. Databricks is powered by
Spark, which can read from Amazon S3, MySQL, HDFS, Cassandra, etc. In
this How-To Guide, we are focusing on S3, since it is very easy to work with.
For more information about Amazon S3, please refer to Amazon Simple
Storage Service (S3).
Loading data into S3

In this section, we describe two common methods to upload your files to
S3. You can also reference the AWS documentation Uploading Objects into
Amazon S3 or the AWS CLI s3 Reference.
Loading data using the AWS UI

For the details behind Amazon S3, including terminology and core concepts,
please refer to the document What is Amazon S3. Below is a quick primer on
how to upload data and presumes that you have already created your own
Amazon AWS account.
1. Within your AWS Console, click on the S3 icon to
access the S3 User Interface (it is under the Storage &
Content Delivery section)
2. Click on the Create Bucket button to create a new bucket to store

your data. Choose a unique name for your bucket and choose your
region. If you have already created your Databricks account, ensure
this buckets region matches the region of your Databricks account.
EC2 instances and S3 buckets should be in the same region to
improve query performance and prevent any cross-region transfer
costs.
3. Click on the bucket you have just created. For the demonstration
purposes, the name of my bucket is my-data-for-databricks.
From here, click on the Upload button.
4. In the Upload Select Files and Folders dialog, you will be able to
add your files into S3.
5. Click on Add Files and you will be able to upload your data into S3.
Below is the dialog to choose sample web logs from my local box.
Click Choose when you have selected your file(s) and then click Start
Upload.
6. Once your files have been uploaded, the Upload dialog will show
the files that have been uploaded into your bucket (in the left pane),
as well as the transfer process (in the right pane).
Now that you have uploaded data into Amazon S3, you are ready to use your
Databricks account. Additional information:
H
ow to upload data using alternate methods, continue reading this
document.
H
ow to connect your Databricks account to the data you just uploaded,
please skip ahead to Connecting to Databricks on page 9.
To learn more about Amazon S3, please refer to What is Amazon S3.
Loading data using the AWS CLI

If you are a fan of using a command line interface (CLI), you can quickly upload
data into S3 using the AWS CLI. For more information including the reference
guide and deep dive installation instructions, please refer to the AWS Command
Line Interface page. These next few steps provide a high level overview of how to
work with the AWS CLI.
Note, if you have already installed the AWS CLI and know your security
credentials, you can skip to Step #3.
1. Install AWS CLI

a) For Windows, please install the 64-bit or 32-bit Windows Installer

(for most new systems, you would choose the 64-bit option).
b) For Mac or Linux systems, ensure you are running Python 2.6.5 or
higher (for most new systems, you would already have Python 2.7.2
installed) and install using pip.
pip install awscli
2. Obtain your AWS security credentials

To obtain your security credentials, log onto your AWS
console and click on Identity & Access Management under
the Administration & Security section. Then,
Click on Users
F ind your own user name whom you will be using the user
credentials
Scroll down the menu to Security Credentials > Access Keys
A
t this point, you can either Create Access Key or use an
existing key if you already have one.
For more information, please refer to AWS security credentials.
3. Configure your AWS CLI security credentials

aws configure
This command allows you to set your AWS security credentials (click
for more information). When configuring your credentials, the resulting
output should look something similar to the screenshot below.
Note, the default region name is us-west-2 for the purpose of this demo.
Based on your geography, your default region name may be different.
You can get the full listing of S3 region-specific end points at Region and
End Points > Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3).
4. Copy your files to S3
Create a bucket for your files (for this demo, the bucket being created is
my-data-for-databricks) using the make bucket (mb) command.
aws s3 mb s3://my-data-for-databricks/
Then, you can copy your files up to S3 using the copy (cp) command.
aws s3 cp . s3://my-data-for-databricks/ --recursive
If you would like to use the sample logs that are used in this technical
note, you can download the log files from http://bit.ly/1MuGbJy.
The output of from a successful copy command should be similar the
one below.
upload: ./ex20111215.log to s3://my-data-fordatabricks/ex20111215.log
upload: ./ex20111214.log to s3://my-data-fordatabricks/ex20111214.log
Connecting to Databricks
In the previous section, we covered the steps required to upload your data
into S3. In this section, we will cover how you can access this data within
Databricks. This section presumes the following
Y ou have completed the previous section and/or have AWS
credentials to access data.
Y ou have a Databricks account; if you need one, please go to
Databricks Account for more information.
You have a running Databricks cluster.
For more information, please refer to:
Introduction to Databricks video
Welcome to Databricks notebook in the Databricks Guide (top
item under Workspace when you log into your Databricks account).
Accessing your Data from S3

For this section, we will be connecting to S3 using Python referencing the
Databricks Guide notebook 03 Accessing Data > 2 AWS S3 py. If you want
to run these commands in Scala, please reference the 03 Accessing Data > 2
AWS S3 scala notebook.
1. C
reate a new notebook by opening the main menu
, click
on down arrow on the right side of Workspace, and choose
Create > Notebook
2. M
ount your S3 bucket to the Databricks File System (DBFS).
This allows you to avoid entering AWS keys every time you connect
to S3 to access your data (i.e. you only have to enter the keys once).
A DBFS mount is a pointer to S3 and allows you to access the data
as if your files were stored locally.
import urllib
ACCESS_KEY = "REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_ACCESS_KEY"
SECRET_KEY = "REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_SECRET_KEY"
ENCODED_SECRET_KEY = urllib.quote(SECRET_KEY, "")
AWS_BUCKET_NAME = "REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_S3_BUCKET"
MOUNT_NAME = "REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_MOUNT_NAME"
dbutils.fs.mount("s3n://%s:%s@%s" % (ACCESS_KEY, ENCODED_
SECRET_KEY, AWS_BUCKET_NAME), "/mnt/%s" % MOUNT_NAME)
10
Remember to replace the "REPLACE_WITH" statements prior to

executing the command.Once you have mounted the bucket, delete
the above cell so others do not have access to those keys.
3. O
nce youve mounted your S3 bucket to DBFS, you can access it
by using the command below. It is accessing dbutils, available in
Scala and Python, so you can run file operations command from
your notebooks.
display(dbutils.fs.ls("/mnt/my-data"))
Note: in the previous command, the "REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_

MOUNT_NAME" statement with the value "my-data" hence the
folder name is /mnt/my-data.
Below is example output for running these commands within a Python
notebook.
11
Querying Data from the DBFS mount

In the previous section, you had created a DBFS mount point allowing you
to connect to your S3 location as if it were a local drive without the need to
re-enter your S3 credentials.
Querying from Python RDD

From the same notebook, you can now run the commands below to do a
simple count against your web logs.
myApacheLogs = sc.textFile("/mnt/my-data/")
myApacheLogs.count()
The output from this command should be similar to the output below.
> myApacheLogs.count()
Out[18]: 4468

Command took 0.98s
Query tables via SQL

While you can read these weblogs using a Python RDD, we can quickly
convert this to DataFrame accessible by Python and SQL. The following
commands convert the myApacheLogs RDD into a DataFrame.
12
# sc is an existing SparkContext.
from pyspark.sql import SQLContext, Row
# Load the space-delimited web logs (text files)
parts = myApacheLogs.map(lambda l: l.split(" "))
apachelogs = parts.map(lambda p: Row(ipaddress=p[0],
clientidentd=p[1], userid=p[2], datetime=p[3], tmz=p[4],
method=p[5], endpoint=p[6], protocol=p[7], responseCode=p[8],
contentSize=p[9]))
# Infer the schema, and register the DataFrame as a table.
schemaWebLogs = sqlContext.createDataFrame(apachelogs)
schemaWebLogs.registerTempTable("apachelogs")
After running these commands successfully from your Databricks python

notebook, you can run SQL commands over your apachelogs DataFrames
that has been registered as a table. The output should be similar to the one
below.
sqlContext.sql("select ipaddress, endpoint from apachelogs").take(10)
Out[23]:
[Row(ipaddress=u10.0.0.127,
Row(ipaddress=u10.0.0.104,
endpoint=u/index.html),
endpoint=u/Cascades/rss.xml),
endpoint=u/Olympics/rss.xml),
endpoint=u/Hurricane+Ridge/rss.xml),
endpoint=u/Cascades/rss.xml),
endpoint=u/Olympics/rss.xml),
endpoint=u/index.html)]
13
Because you had registered the weblog DataFrame, you can also access this
directly from a Databricks SQL notebook. For example, below is screenshot
of running the SQL command
select ipaddress, endpoint from weblogs limit 10;
With the query below, you can start working with the notebook graphs.
select ipaddress, count(1) as events from apachelogs
group by ipaddress order by events desc;
