Spark connector import error in notebook

Hi all,

 

Just getting started with the Fabric notebooks and trying to load a view from the Lakehouse SQL endpoint as per: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/data-engineering/spark-data-warehouse-connector

 

However, during the required imports I get the following error:

The first line succeeds, second line throws the error. I'm (as per documentation) using Spark (Scala) in that cell.
Any suggestions how to fix this?

Thanks in advance!

Luuk

Hi @Luuk_J 

 

You are not importing the correct module. The correct one is as below.

Important

Run these import statements at the beginning of your notebook or before you start using the connector:

import com.microsoft.spark.fabric.tds.implicits.read.FabricSparkTDSImplicits._

import org.apache.spark.sql.functions._

Ah my bad, must have mixed up several things in the process. Thanks for the quick reply, the import is working correctly now!
