Access Fabric Spark Context Remotely

[Anonymous]

I suspect I know the answer to this but I'll ask anyway to see if anyone has a good idea.

I want to use Fabric to do my data processing, then I want to store my data and give access to external applications.

I know that I can use the SQL Server ODBC driver to query the data, but sometimes the data comes in formats thats supported in Spark but not in the ODBC driver, is it possible to get access to the Spark context to run queries on the Cluster as you would from a notebook from outside of Fabric for application development?

Hi @Anonymous ,

In Fabric, you can do this with the Apache Livy service.

The installation, configuration, and usage of Livy is described in detail here, which you can refer to:

Livy - Getting Started

• Start by installing and running Livy on your Fabric Spark cluster.
• Set up Livy to support remote access and authentication (e.g. with Microsoft Entra).
• Submit Spark jobs, monitor status, and get results via Livy's REST API.
