Hi Raj, In addition to Eran and Alexander's answer, i'd like to add about differences between Zeppelin and iPython notebook.
They both have notebook interface. Except for this, i think a lot of things are different. - Zeppelin is being developed in Apache way under Apache Software Foundation, while iPython is lead by IPython Development Team. So, from copyrights, development process, decision making process to community development could be different. - Zeppelin's long-term goal is providing analytical environment on top of Hadoop eco-system. That's why Zeppelin has built-in integration to Spark and many more backend-integration. Notebook is core component for it but there will be more component in the future. I don't have any idea about IPython's direction, but i guess it's not going to the same to Zeppelin. - Server side of Zeppelin is based on Java while iPython is python. Zeppelin is expected to have better, easier integration to JVM based backends and libraries. - Detailed feature (built-in chart, notebook layout, scheduler, etc)'s are different.
