Introduction
An Apache Zeppelin notebook is a browser-based GUI you can use for interactive data exploration, modeling, and visualization.
As an Apache Zeppelin notebook author or collaborator, you write code in a browser window. When you run the code from the browser, Zeppelin sends the code to backend processors such as Spark. The processor or service and returns results; you can then use Zeppelin to review and visualize results in the browser.
Note: Zeppelin on HDP does not support sharing a note by sharing its URL, due to lack of proper access control over how and with whom a note can be shared.
Apache Zeppelin is supported on the following browsers:
-
Internet Explorer, latest supported releases. (Zeppelin is not supported on versions 8 or 9, due to lack of native support for WebSockets.)
-
Google Chrome, latest stable release.
-
Mozilla Firefox, latest stable release.
-
Apple Safari, latest stable release. Note that when SSL is enabled for Zeppelin, Safari requires a Certificate Authority-signed certificate to access the Zeppelin UI.
