travis-pytest-spark

A Minimal setup of tests (using pytest) with pyspark.

The tests just creates a simple Spark DataFrame and assets things on it.
The main portion is the Travis CI setup located in the .travis.yml file.

The key section is as follows:

before_install:
  - mkdir -p /opt
  - wget -q -O /opt/spark.tgz http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/apache/spark/spark-2.4.3/spark-2.4.3-bin-hadoop2.7.tgz
  - tar xzf /opt/spark.tgz -C /opt/
  - rm /opt/spark.tgz
  - export SPARK_HOME=/opt/spark-2.4.3-bin-hadoop2.7
  - export PATH=$PATH:/opt/spark-2.4.3-bin-hadoop2.7/bin

Setting up SPARK_HOME environment variable allows pytest-spark
to find the Spark JARs and actually execute a standalone Spark
instance.

Running locally

You will need Spark install on your machine with it in your PATH and also its
location set under SPARK_HOME (for pytest)
