Spark uses the IPython editor by default on Windows

Spark uses the IPython editor by default on Windows

In the %SPARK_HOME%\bindirectory, there are pyspark, pyspark.cmd, pyspark2.cmdfiles.

Among them, pyspark is used in linux operating system or Mac.

pyspark.cmdand pyspark2.cmdis used in windows operating system.

The pyspark.cmd file is as follows:

@echo off

rem This is the entry point for running PySpark. To avoid polluting the
rem environment, it just launches a new cmd to do the real work.

cmd /V /E /C ""%~dp0pyspark2.cmd" %*"

What actually executes is the pyspark2.cmd file.

Then let's look at the contents of the pyspark2.cmd file:

rem Figure out where the Spark framework is installed
call "%~dp0find-spark-home.cmd"

call "%SPARK_HOME%\bin\load-spark-env.cmd"
set _SPARK_CMD_USAGE=Usage: bin\pyspark.cmd [options]

rem Figure out which Python to use.
if "x%PYSPARK_DRIVER_PYTHON%"=="x" (
  set PYSPARK_DRIVER_PYTHON=python
  if not [%PYSPARK_PYTHON%] == [] set PYSPARK_DRIVER_PYTHON=%PYSPARK_PYTHON%
)

set PYTHONPATH=%SPARK_HOME%\python;%PYTHONPATH%
set PYTHONPATH=%SPARK_HOME%\python\lib\py4j-0.10.6-src.zip;%PYTHONPATH%

set OLD_PYTHONSTARTUP=%PYTHONSTARTUP%
set PYTHONSTARTUP=%SPARK_HOME%\python\pyspark\shell.py

call "%SPARK_HOME%\bin\spark-submit2.cmd" pyspark-shell-main --name "PySparkShell" %*

We can see: set PYSPARK_DRIVER_PYTHON=pythonset python to driver.

We want to use the IPythoneditor, we just change the value to ipythonthat .

set PYSPARK_DRIVER_PYTHON=ipython

After setting, re-use the dos window opened by pyspark, which is the IPython editor .
