First practical - Accessing databricks

Databricks instance: https://adb-5948107236585497.17.azuredatabricks.net

To do:

• Verify that you have access to the databricks workspace.
• Check that you can only see your workspace folder and no one else's.
• Check that you can start and terminate clusters. Compute (left menu) -> Accessible by me (top menu tab).
• Create a notebook.
• Attach to an existing cluster (start cluster if none is available).
• Import a library of your choice: e.g. pandas or numpy.
• Write some code in a cell.
• Run the cell.
• Upload this notebook and begin working through it.
