I want to work on some small exercise projects, I wish to use databricks cluster. Can this be done. I am hoping there is some way to connect databricks cluster through databricks-connect utility. Just need some steps. Thanks in advance.

You might have already known this by now but adding this for new users.

Community Edition doesn't support databricks-connect functionality. It's only available for the enterprise version. This is the reason there is a no token generation available for community edition.

The feature you aer looking for is called "databricks connect". You can configure several EDIs (e.g. Pycharm) to connect live to your Cluster on databricks community as well as Azure and AWS.

If you can understand German by any chance, this youtube video might help you. (Shows the full installation process for windows 10).

  • Thanks Benjamin but I am asking for connecting to Databricks Community Edition Cluster – Manish Dec 04 '19 at 10:35
  • Yeah that is basically the same. Only the part with the ports differs. – Benjamin Dec 05 '19 at 17:53
  • Where do I get a User Token for Community edition of Databricks? – ruslaniv Apr 25 '20 at 13:20
  • - Click the user profile icon User Profile in the upper right corner of your Databricks workspace. - Click User Settings. - Go to the Access Tokens tab. - Click the Generate New Token button. - Optionally enter a description (comment) and expiration period. - Click the Generate button. - Copy the generated token and store in a secure location.

  • @RohitMishra did you mean "there is a no token generation available for community edition," as stated in your answer? – KBurchfiel Nov 19 '21 at 16:26
  • @KBurchfiel, Yes. Last time when I checked that was the case. – Rohit Mishra Nov 25 '21 at 07:41
