Connector Specific Configuration Details

  1. Databricks connector has optional values such as Bronze Schema and Silver Schema

  2. If you are using Delta Sharing, ensure that the PROVIDER has assigned the correct permissions on the source catalogs, tables, etc., that the RECIPIENT will access. At a minimum, read access is required. You can verify this by running a simple select query.

  3. The cluster you will use with Databricks should be set up with Unity Catalog.

  4. Generate the access Token for the user:

    1. Log in to Databricks Go to your Databricks workspace URL and log in.
    2. Open User Settings Once logged in, click on your user profile icon in the upper right corner of the screen. From the dropdown menu, click User Settings.
    3. Generate a New Token Under the Access Tokens tab, click the Generate New Token button. In the dialog box, provide a comment or description for the token (optional but recommended). Optionally, set an expiration date for the token. If no expiration date is set, the token will last for the default period, which varies by workspace configuration. Click Generate.
    4. Copy and Save the Token After generating the token, copy the token immediately as it will only be shown once. Store it securely (e.g., in a password manager or a secure environment).
    5. Use the Token You can use the token in various APIs, SDKs, or CLI commands to authenticate with Databricks.

  5. Open the list of available clusters. Choose your own and get from the cluster settings the next values:

    2. HTTP path from Advanced options:
    3. Server hostname from Advanced options:

  6. Get the Catalog name from the catalog explorer, but make sure to check the permissions. You need sufficient permissions to read both the catalog and the schema.
