Hi, If you want to load from csv, you can use below procedure. Of course you need to define spark context first. (Given example to load all csv under a folder, you can use specific name for single file) // these lines are equivalent in Spark 2.0 spark.read.format("csv").option("header", "true").load("../Downloads/*.csv") spark.read.option("header", "true").csv("../Downloads/*.csv") Best regardsPalash Gupta Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android On Fri, 30 Dec, 2016 at 11:39 pm, Raymond Xie<xie3208...@gmail.com> wrote: Hello, I am new to Spark, as a SQL developer, I only took some courses online and spent some time myself, never had a chance working on a real project. I wonder what would be the best practice (tool, procedure...) to load data (csv, excel) into Spark platform? Thank you.
