Spark Dataframe

This notebook shows how to use agents to interact with a Spark DataFrame and Spark Connect. It is mostly optimized for question answering.

NOTE: this agent calls the Python agent under the hood, which executes LLM generated Python code - this can be bad if the LLM generated Python code is harmful. Use cautiously.

os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "...input your openai api key here..."

Spark DataFrame example

Spark Connect example
