databricks-cli 0.6.0

Requirements

• Python Version > 2.7.9 or > 3.6

Installation

To install simply run pip install --upgrade databricks-cli

Then set up authentication using username/password or authentication token. Credentials are stored at ~/.databrickscfg.

• databricks configure (enter hostname/username/password at prompt)

• databricks configure --token (enter hostname/auth-token at prompt)

Multiple connection profiles are also supported with databricks configure --profile <profile> [--token]. The connection profile can be used as such: databricks workspace ls --profile <profile>.

Then you’re all set to go! To test that your authentication information is working, try a quick test like databricks workspace ls.

Known Issues

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'PROTOCOL_TLSv1_2'

The Databricks web service requires clients speak TLSV1.2. The built in version of Python for MacOS does not have this version of TLS built in.

To use databricks-cli you should install a version of Python which has ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1_2. For MacOS, the easiest way may be to install Python with Homebrew.

Workspace CLI Examples

The implemented commands for the Workspace CLI can be listed by running databricks workspace -h. Commands are run by appending them to databricks workspace. To make it easier to use the workspace CLI, feel free to alias databricks workspace to something shorter. For more information reference Aliasing Command Groups section.

DBFS CLI Examples

The implemented commands for the DBFS CLI can be listed by running databricks fs -h. Commands are run by appending them to databricks fs and all dbfs paths should be prefixed with dbfs:/. To make the command less verbose, we’ve gone ahead and aliased dbfs to databricks fs.

$ databricks fs -h
Usage: databricks fs [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

  Utility to interact with DBFS. DBFS paths are all prefixed
  with dbfs:/. Local paths can be absolute or local.

  -v, --version
  -h, --help     Show this message and exit.

Commands:
  configure
  cp         Copy files to and from DBFS.
  ls         List files in DBFS.
  mkdirs     Make directories in DBFS.
  mv         Moves a file between two DBFS paths.
  rm         Remove files from dbfs.

dbfs cp test.txt dbfs:/test.txt
# Or recursively
dbfs cp -r test-dir dbfs:/test-dir

dbfs cp dbfs:/test.txt ./test.txt
# Or recursively
dbfs cp -r dbfs:/test-dir ./test-dir

Jobs CLI Examples

The implemented commands for the jobs CLI can be listed by running databricks jobs -h. Job run commands are handled by databricks runs -h.

$ databricks jobs -h
Usage: databricks jobs [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

  Utility to interact with jobs.

  This is a wrapper around the jobs API
  (https://docs.databricks.com/api/latest/jobs.html). Job runs are handled
  by ``databricks runs``.

Options:
  -v, --version  [VERSION]
  -h, --help     Show this message and exit.

Commands:
  create   Creates a job.
  delete   Deletes the specified job.
  get      Describes the metadata for a job.
  list     Lists the jobs in the Databricks Job Service.
  reset    Resets (edits) the definition of a job.
  run-now  Runs a job with optional per-run parameters.

$ databricks runs -h
Usage: databricks runs [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

  Utility to interact with job runs.

Options:
  -v, --version  [VERSION]
  -h, --help     Show this message and exit.

Commands:
  cancel  Cancels the run specified.
  get     Gets the metadata about a run in json form.
  list    Lists job runs.
  submit  Submits a one-time run.

databricks jobs list | grep "JOB_NAME"

SETTINGS_JSON=$(databricks jobs get --job-id 284907 | jq .settings)
# JQ Explanation:
#   - peek into top level `settings` field.
databricks jobs create --json "$SETTINGS_JSON"

databricks jobs list --output json | jq '.jobs[] | select(.settings.name == "Untitled") | .job_id' | xargs -n 1 databricks jobs delete --job-id
# Explanation:
#   - List jobs in JSON.
#   - Peek into top level `jobs` field.
#   - Select only jobs with name equal to "Untitled"
#   - Print those job ID's out.
#   - Invoke `databricks jobs delete --job-id` once per row with the $job_id appended as an argument to the end of the command.

Libraries CLI

You run library subcommands by appending them to databricks libraries.

$ databricks libraries -h
Usage: databricks libraries [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

  Utility to interact with libraries.

  This is a wrapper around the libraries API
  (https://docs.databricks.com/api/latest/libraries.html).

  -v, --version  [VERSION]
  -h, --help     Show this message and exit.

Commands:

databricks libraries list --cluster-id $CLUSTER_ID

Aliasing Command Groups

Sometimes it can be inconvenient to prefix each CLI invocation with the name of a command group. Writing databricks workspace ls can be quite verbose! To make the CLI easier to use, you can alias different command groups to shorter commands. For example to shorten databricks workspace ls to dw ls in the Bourne again shell, you can add alias dw="databricks workspace" to the appropriate bash profile. Typically, this file is located at ~/.bash_profile.

jq

Some Databricks CLI commands will output the JSON response from the API endpoint. Sometimes it can be useful to parse out parts of the JSON to pipe into other commands. For example, to copy a job definition, we must take the settings field of /api/2.0/jobs/get use that as an argument to the databricks jobs create command.

In these cases, we recommend you to use the utility jq. MacOS users can install jq through Homebrew with brew install jq.

For more information on jq reference its documentation.
