Spark : how to run spark file from spark shell

Question

I am using CDH 5.2. I am able to use spark-shell to run the commands.

1. How can I run the file(file.spark) which contain spark commands.
2. Is there any way to run/compile the scala programs in CDH 5.2 without sbt?

Answer 1

To load an external file from spark-shell simply do

:load PATH_TO_FILE

This will call everything in your file.

I don't have a solution for your SBT question though sorry :-)
