brickster

{brickster} is the R toolkit for Databricks, it includes:

• Wrappers for Databricks API’s (e.g. db_cluster_list, db_volume_read)

• Browser workspace assets via RStudio Connections Pane (open_workspace())

• Exposes the databricks-sql-connector via {reticulate} (docs)

• Interactive Databricks REPL

Installation

remotes::install_github("databrickslabs/brickster")

Quick Start

library(brickster)

# only requires `DATABRICKS_HOST` if using OAuth U2M
# first request will open browser window to login
Sys.setenv(DATABRICKS_HOST = "<workspace-prefix>.cloud.databricks.com")

# list all SQL warehouses
warehouses <- db_sql_warehouse_list()

# read `data.csv` from a volume
file <- db_volume_read(
  path = "/Volumes/<catalog>/<schema>/<volume>/data.csv",
  tempfile(pattern = ".csv")
)
volume_csv <- readr::read_csv(file)

Refer to the “Connect to a Databricks Workspace” article for more details on getting authentication configured.

API Coverage

{brickster} is very deliberate with choosing what API’s are wrapped. {brickster} isn’t intended to replace IaC tooling (e.g. Terraform) or to be used for account/workspace administration.

These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
