Parameter

Description

name

It is the name of the notebook. It is a string and can accept alpha-numerical characters.

location

It is the location of the folder. By default, it goes to Users/current_user_email_id folders. For more information on notebook folders, see Using Folders in Notebooks. The accepted folder locations are: Users/current_user_email_id, Common, and Users. The default location is Users/current_user_email_id and it is equivalent to My Home on the Notebooks UI. You need privileges to create/edit notebooks in Common and Users. For more information, see Managing Folder-level Permissions.

default_lang

Default language of the notebook. Default value is spark. Other possible values are pyspark, sql, and r.

cluster_id

The ID of the cluster to which the notebook is assigned. You must assign the notebook to a cluster to use it, though you can leave the notebook unassigned when you create it. Make sure you assign the notebook to the appropriate type of cluster: for example, assign a Spark notebook to a Spark cluster.
