Let’s configure pyspark in PyCharm in Ubuntu.
When using the spark to read data from the SQL database and then do the other pipeline processing on it, it’s recommended to partition the data according to the natural segments in the data, or at least on an integer column, so that spark can fire multiple sql queries to read data from SQL server and operate on it separately, the results are going to the spark partition.

First, download spark from the source. http://spark.apache.org/downloads.html
There is a simple two step process for the configuration.
First, setup spark home, SPARK_HOME, in the ‘etc/environment’
SPARK_HOME=location-to-downloaded-spark-folder

Second, in the pycharm IDE, in the project in which you want to configure pyspark, open Settings, File -> Settings.
Then, in the project section, click on “Project Structure”.
We need to add two files, one py4j-0.10.1-src.zip, another pyspark.zip, in the ‘Content Root’ of ‘Project Structure’
In my case, the project’s name is Katyayani, so, in the menu, Settings -> Project: Katyayani -> Project Structure . On the right side, click on ‘Add Content Root’ and add ‘py4j-0.10.1-src.zip’ [/home/pujan/Softwares/spark-2.0.0-bin-hadoop2.7/python/lib/py4j-0.10.1-src.zip] and ‘pyspark.zip'[/home/pujan/Softwares/spark-2.0.0-bin-hadoop2.7/python/lib/pyspark.zip]
After this configuration, lets test our configuration that we can access spark from pyspark. For this, write a python script in pycharm. The following screenshot shows a very simple python script and the log message of successful interaction with spark.
And, this concludes our successful configuration of pyspark in pycharm.
