Replicating TCP-DS Benchmark in Fabric
Hi All,
I'm trying to replicate the TCP-DS performance test to compare the performance between Spark and DuckDB.
Using the following repo on how to set up the dataset: GitHub - BlueGranite/tpc-ds-dataset-generator: Generate big TPC-DS datasets with Databricks
I've generated a new environment and a Configuration notebook replicating the steps from their configure.py.
After creating the .sh script, I can't find in Fabric a way to configure the cluster/pool to run it as an init script as we've done in Databricks.
I have 2 questions:
- Have somebody used the TPC-DS Dataset in Fabric Notebooks successfully? If so, how?
- How can I import the spark.sql.perf into my environment to use it? Can't find it in public libraries or Built-in ones.
Thank you.
Regards,
Victor
Finally generated the data using the TCP-DS Duck DB extension and saved them into parquets in my lakehouse

Hi VictorMed ,
Thank you for reaching out to us on the Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.
Since spark.sql.perf is not available in Fabric’s built-in libraries, you can try manually. Try to do it manually in the fabric notebooks. Once the spark.sql.perf is present you can run TPC-DS Dataset.

I've manually generated the spark.sql.perf.jar file on my local machine and uploaded as a custom library on the Fabric environment.
The current issue is I'm not able to import it into my notebook with the following error:
----> 1 import spark.sql.perf ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'spark'
Hi VictorMed ,
Thanks for the update! Since you've manually uploaded the spark.sql.perf JAR, here are a few steps to ensure it is correctly imported in your Fabric Notebook:
- Try adding the JAR to your Spark session manually and please ensure that the path matches where you've uploaded the JAR in your OneLake Files or Lakehouse.
- Since you’re getting ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'spark', try using this import pattern. If com.databricks.spark.sql.perf is not found, it likely means the JAR isn’t properly loaded into the Spark environment.
spark.sql.perf is primarily a Scala-based benchmarking library. Fabric’s Notebooks use PySpark, so it may not be compatible unless you run it in a Scala environment (which Fabric currently does not natively support in Notebooks).
