Spark jobs not running in a notebook

Sasha Yang 1

I am currently running the "1.Reading Data - CSV" notebook from the "Read and write data in Azure Databricks" module on Microsoft learn. When I tried to run the cell "# A reference to our tab-separated-file", the Spark jobs seems to be stuck while the command just continues running. The cluster attached to the notebook seems fine and running. Below are the screenshots of the notebook and the job description.
I have tried restarting the cluster and then detaching and re-attaching the cluster to the notebook, but the issue persists.

@sashayang-8285, Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A platform.

Could you please share the Databricks Runtime version which you are using?

I’m able to run the “1. Reading Data - CSV” from MS Learn, without any issue.

Used: Azure Databricks Runtime version: 6.6 (includes Apache Spark 2.4.5, Scala 2.11)

Hope this helps. Do let us know if you any further queries.

I just read (from other discussion threads) that my free trial license has a quota of 4 cores, which technically speaking is not enough for me to launch a cluster. But for some unknown reason the cluster I created actually ran yesterday (a glitch I guess?). Maybe this is why the jobs are not running?

@Sasha Yang , Yes, you are correct Azure Free trial subscription are not allowed to create Spark cluster.

You may checkout similar Q&A thread here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1544/azure-databricks.html

I have tried it on Databricks Runtime version 6.5 and able to run the query without any issue.

I would suggest you to create a new cluster and check if the issue persists.

Hope this helps. Do let us know if you any further queries.
