Hi,

I am using Cloudera Quickstart VM 5.13.0 to write code using pyspark.

Trying to import SparkSession using below command:

from pyspark.sql import SparkSession

It's throwing an error saying Importerrir: cannot import name SparkSession

I need help to fix this. Please suggest me if anything missed

Hi All,

I have fixed this issue by updating spark to 2.4.5 as SparkSession has introduced from 2.0.

Earlier, spark 1.6 was installed and could not proceed to import SparkSession.

Thanks all...!!!

Regards,

Shankar.

Hello Shankar,

Please did the portal request username and password before allowing you to download Spark 2.4.5 ?

I have the same issue , but it ask me for credentials when I try to download. How do I get this credential? I have tried by just setting up an account, but that did not work.

Thanks

Lewi.
