Hi all, Can someone clear up if %dep is going to be deprecated? From the docs and warning messages it sounds like that's still the plan. But from an in person conversation I've had with Moon, it sounded like maybe not (although this was a while back)?
If it's depreciated, that'll leave a big gap for us. Our typical workflow involves us exchanging notebooks (export/import of the json) fairly regularly. And every notebook has different library dependencies. Being able to specify these inline, in the notebook, is really useful. I remember the concern with %dep was with adding jars dynamically? If this is still true, then maybe a compromise would be to keep a way of documenting the jar dependencies per notebook, but when the user loads that notebook prompt them with "Jar X is missing, click yes to add to your Spark interpreter dependencies". So have it function more like an automatic way to fill in the GUI dependencies settings, but at least it keeps the self-documenting functionality too. Aish
