delta_sharing.load_as_spark(table_url) not working in MS Fabric Notebook.

[shashwat-mishra-710]

Has anyone tried to connect to a Delta Share from a Notebook? I haven’t been able to load_as_spark, but load_as_pandas works just fine. However I would really prefer to leverage spark.

Hello, yes, I was able to load data using load_as_spark. However, I had to use a custom environment, with the following properties :
runtime_version: '1.3'
spark_conf:

• spark.jars.packages: >-
  org.apache.hadoop:hadoop-azure:3.3.1,io.delta:delta-core_2.12:2.2.0,io.delta:delta-sharing-spark_2.12:3.1.0
• spark.sql.extensions: io.delta.sql.DeltaSparkSessionExtension
• spark.sql.catalog.spark_catalog: org.apache.spark.sql.delta.catalog.DeltaCatalog
