Notebook Cells in DataStax Studio
Notebook cells contain markdown text, CQL, Gremlin code, or Spark SQL. A notebook consists of a sequence of cells. A cell is a multi-line text input field.
Execute cell contents by:
-
Pressing Shift + Enter with focus in the cell
-
Clicking the Play button ▶ on the right
-
Selecting Cell | Run in the menu bar
The cell language determines the execution behavior of a cell:
-
Gremlin
Execution configurations define the run behavior.
-
CQL
Execution configurations define the run behavior. Custom run configurations are supported.
-
Spark SQL
The execution configuration is not configurable.
-
Markdown
Markdown is a superset of HTML. Use Markdown to document the computational process in a literate way, alternating descriptive text with code. You can make text italic or bold. You can build lists, and provide other structure including headings that link to other sections of the notebook. Click Play to display the formatted markdown text.
Every cell starts off being a code cell, but you can change its type by selecting a different cell language or by using Keyboard shortcuts in DataStax Studio.
