The SparkSession can be accessed via the global variable spark. The input Dataset<Row> can be accessed via the method input parameter dataFrame1. The output Dataset<Row> must be called resultDataFrame1.

The editor optionally provides autocompletion (CTRL + Space) using the local Python installation, if the KNIME Python Extension and the Python module jedi is installed. The path to the Python executable has to be configured in Preferences → KNIME → Python.
Note: The completion suggestions are made based on the local Python environment, which may differ from the Python setup in the cluster!
