Hi guys, Besides using shell parameters is there anyway of passing a parameter to Spark-shell like in Zeppelin
val ticker = z.input("Ticker to analyze? default MSFT", "msft").toString I gather this can be done in Spark shell export TICKER="msft" spark-shell -i <(echo val ticker = $TICKER ; cat <file-name>) as describe here <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29928999/passing-command-line-arguments-to-spark-shell> Thanks Dr Mich Talebzadeh LinkedIn * https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=AAEAAAAWh2gBxianrbJd6zP6AcPCCdOABUrV8Pw <https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=AAEAAAAWh2gBxianrbJd6zP6AcPCCdOABUrV8Pw>* http://talebzadehmich.wordpress.com *Disclaimer:* Use it at your own risk.
