Data

This section shows how to work with data in Databricks. You can:

• Create tables directly from imported data. Table schema is stored in the default Databricks internal metastore and you can also configure and use external metastores.
• Use a wide variety of Apache Spark data sources.
• Import data into Databricks File System (DBFS), a distributed file system mounted into a Databricks workspace and available on Databricks clusters and use the DBFS CLI, DBFS API, Databricks file system utilities (dbutils.fs), Spark APIs, and local file APIs to access the data.
