Development

Launch Local Development Server

Local development is facilitated by Docker and Docker Compose and built as an extension to the jupyter/pyspark-notebook docker image.

To begin developing, start the development server using the following command:

make launch-test-server

This will launch a local single-node spark cluster. The password is "local spark cluster".

This cluster can be interacted with using Jupyter Labs at localhost:10000.

The cluster is used for running local tests against the pyspark package being developed.

Running Tests Locally

Run tests against the local package using the make commands below.

Run a single test file:

make run-test testfile=<PATH_TO_TEST_FILE>

Run all tests:

make run-tests
