# How to visualize data from Databricks

This notebook guides the user through the process of connecting to a CARTO account and leverage CARTO’s integrating with Pydeck to be able to visualize data from a Databricks connections using both CARTO and Databricks native support of the H3 spatial index. You can find the original notebook [here](https://github.com/CartoDB/research-public/blob/master/pydeck-carto/How%20to%20access%20CARTO's%20Analytics%20Toolbox%20for%20Databricks%20and%20create%20visualizations%20via%20Python%20notebooks.ipynb).

## Install dependencies <a href="#install-dependencies" id="install-dependencies"></a>

```python
!pip install pydeck-carto pydeck carto-auth -q
```

```python
import pydeck as pdk
import pydeck_carto as pdkc
from carto_auth import CartoAuth
```

## Authenticate with CARTO <a href="#authenticate-with-carto" id="authenticate-with-carto"></a>

The method below will get an OAuth access token that will give you permission to interact with the CARTO platform with the same privileges and access to resources as if you were logged in.

```python
carto_auth = CartoAuth.from_oauth()
```

## Loading an H3 Layer from a Databricks connection. <a href="#loading-an-h3-layer-from-a-databricks-connection" id="loading-an-h3-layer-from-a-databricks-connection"></a>

CARTO can connect to a Databricks SQL Warehouse or a Databricks cluster to push down SQL queries that will be fully executed in your Databricks environment. In both cases, the connection fully supports H3 indexes, leveraging [Databricks' native capabilities](https://docs.databricks.com/spark/latest/spark-sql/language-manual/sql-ref-functions-builtin.html#h3-geospatial-functions).

Learn more about how to connect CARTO to Databricks [here](https://docs.carto.com/carto-user-manual/connections/creating-a-connection#connection-to-databricks).

```python
# Register CartoLayer in pydeck
pdkc.register_carto_layer()

# Render CartoLayer in pydeck
layer = pdk.Layer(
    "CartoLayer",
    data="hive_metastore.carto_dev_data.derived_spatialfeatures_ukr_h3int_res10_v1_yearly_v2_interpolated",
    type_=pdkc.MapType.TABLE,
    connection=pdk.types.String("databricksconn_cluster"),
    credentials=pdkc.get_layer_credentials(carto_auth),
    aggregation_exp=pdk.types.String("sum(population) as population"),
    aggregation_res_level=5,
    geo_column=pdk.types.String("h3"),
    get_fill_color=pdkc.styles.color_bins("population", [1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000], "SunsetDark"),
    get_line_color=[0, 0, 0, 80],
    line_width_min_pixels=0.5,
    stroked=True,
    extruded=False,
    pickable=True
)

tooltip = {
    "html": "Population: <b>{population}</b>",
    "style": {"background": "grey", "color": "white", "font-family": '"Helvetica Neue", Arial', "z-index": "10000"},
}

view_state = pdk.ViewState(latitude=49.0, longitude=30.0, zoom=5)
pdk.Deck(layer, map_style=pdk.map_styles.ROAD, initial_view_state=view_state)
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.carto.com/data-and-analysis/carto-+-python/working-with-data/how-to-visualize-data-from-databricks.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
