SparkSQL read from MySQL database table using Python [duplicate]

Answer 1

There is a similar question answered. Start pyspark like this

./bin/pyspark --packages mysql:mysql-connector-java:5.1.38

Then just run

sqlContext.read.format("jdbc").options(
url ="jdbc:mysql://localhost/mysql",
driver="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver",
dbtable="user",
user="root",
password=""
).load().take(10) 

This would most likely just work. But this depends on your mysql set-up, so if it doesn't try changing password, username, db-url and other settings.
