Adding external jars in EMR Notebooks

Question

I use EMR Notebook connected to EMR cluster. Kernel is Spark and language is Scala. I need some jars that are located in S3 bucket. How can I add jars?

In case of 'spark-shell' it's easy:

spark-shell --jars "s3://some/path/file.jar, s3://some/path/faile2.jar"

Also in scala console I can do

:require s3://some/path/file.jar

After you start the notebook, you can do this in a cell:

%%configure -f
{
"conf": {"spark.jars.packages": "com.jsuereth:scala-arm_2.11:2.0,ml.combust.bundle:bundle-ml_2.11:0.13.0,com.databricks:dbutils-api_2.11:0.0.3"},

"jars": [
        "//path to external downloaded jars"
    ],

}
