Importing External Packages

If you want to use an external package within a Zeppelin note, you can follow one of these approaches:

Specify the dependency for the associated interpreter on the Interpreter page.
For more information, see Dependency Management for Interpreter at zeppelin.apache.org.

For Spark jobs, you can pass a jar, package, or list of files to spark-submit using SPARK_SUBMIT_OPTIONS; for example:

SPARK_SUBMIT_OPTIONS in conf/zeppelin-env.sh

export SPARKSUBMITOPTIONS="--packages com.databricks:spark-csv_2.10:1.2.0 --jars /path/mylib1.jar,/path/mylib2.jar --files /path/mylib1.py,/path/mylib2.zip,/path/mylib3.egg"

In SPARK_HOME/conf/spark-defaults.conf

spark.jars /path/mylib1.jar,/path/mylib2.jar spark.jars.packages com.databricks:spark-csv_2.10:1.2.0 spark.files /path/mylib1.py,/path/mylib2.egg,/path/mylib3.zip

If you want to import a library for a note that uses the Livy interpreter, see Using the %livy Interpreter to Access Spark.
