Apache Zeppelin
Apache Zeppelin is a web-based notebook platform that enables interactive data analytics with interactive data visualizations and notebook sharing. You can make data-driven, interactive and collaborative documents with SQL, Scala, Python, R in a single notebook document.
It shares a single SparkContext between languages (so you can pass data between Scala and Python easily).
This is an excellent tool for prototyping Scala/Spark code with SQL queries to analyze data (by data visualizations) that could be used by non-Scala developers like data analysts using SQL and Python.

Note
|
Zeppelin aims at more analytics and business people (not necessarily for Spark/Scala developers for whom Spark Notebook may appear a better fit). |
Clients talk to the Zeppelin Server using HTTP REST or Websocket endpoints.
