# Databricks

To create a Databricks Depot you must have the following details:

## Pre-requisites specific to DataOS

You must have the Data Admin role to create a Depot. To get the Data Admin role, contact the DataOS Operator or the Tenant Admin.

Run the command below to check your assigned roles.

```bash
dataos-ctl user get
#Expected Output:

              │                   │        │                      │ users:id:iamgroottmdcio

```

## Pre-requisites specific to the source system

* **Server Hostname**: The hostname of your Databricks workspace, in the format `<workspace-id>.cloud.databricks.com`.
* **HTTP Path**: The HTTP path of the SQL warehouse or cluster, for example `/sql/1.0/warehouses/<warehouse-id>`.
* **Token**: A Databricks personal access token or service principal token used for authentication. Obtain this from the Databricks workspace under **Settings → Developer → Access Tokens**.

## Create a Databricks Depot

A Depot of type `DATABRICKS` reads data from Databricks SQL warehouses. To create a Depot of type `DATABRICKS`, follow these steps:

### **Step 1: Create a Secret for securing Databricks credentials**

Begin by creating a Secret Resource by following the [Databricks](/concepts/resources/secret/data-sources.md) guide.

### **Step 2: Create a Databricks Depot manifest file**

Create a manifest file with the configuration details for your Databricks Depot. Reference the Secret by name in the Depot manifest as shown in the template below.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Manifest file" %}

```yaml
version: v2alpha
type: depot
tags:
  - ${{tag-1}} # optional
  - ${{tag-2}} # optional
name: ${{depot-name}}
owner: ${{owner-id}}
tenant: ${{tenant-id}}
spec:
  name: ${{depot-name}}
  type: databricks
  owners:
    - ${{owner-id}}
  description: ${{depot-description}}
  source: databricks
  spec:
    http_path: ${{http-path}}
    server_hostname: ${{server-hostname}}
  secrets:
    - id: ${{tenant-id}}:${{secret-name}}
      purpose: scan
    - id: ${{tenant-id}}:${{secret-name}}
      purpose: query
    - id: ${{tenant-id}}:${{secret-name}}
      purpose: rw
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Example" %}

```yaml
version: v2alpha
type: depot
tags:
  - dataos:type:resource
  - dataos:type:tenant-resource
  - dataos:resource:depot
  - dataos:tenant:engineering
name: databricks
owner: pravinagrawaltmdcio
tenant: engineering
spec:
  name: databricks
  type: databricks
  owners:
    - iamgroottmdcio
  description: Databricks Depot
  source: databricks
  spec:
    http_path: /sql/1.0/warehouses/**********
    server_hostname: '**********'
  secrets:
    - id: engineering:secrets-databricks
      purpose: scan
    - id: engineering:secrets-databricks
      purpose: query
    - id: engineering:secrets-databricks
      purpose: rw
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

### **Step 3: Apply the Depot manifest file**

Apply the manifest through the DataOS CLI:

```bash
dataos-ctl resource apply -f ${{yamlfilepath}}
```

## Verify the Depot creation

Verify the Depot in two ways:

* Check the name of the newly created Depot in the list of Depots you own:

  ```bash
  dataos-ctl resource get -t depot
  ```
* List all Depots created in the current Tenant:

  ```bash
  dataos-ctl resource get -t depot -a
  ```

## Delete a Depot

{% hint style="warning" %}
Best practice: Delete Resources that are no longer in use to save time and reduce costs.
{% endhint %}

To delete a Depot, run the following command in the DataOS CLI:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Command 1" %}

```bash
dataos-ctl resource delete -t depot -n ${depot-name}
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Command 2 " %}

```bash
dataos-ctl resource delete -i "${resource-name}|v2alpha|depot"
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Command 3" %}

```bash
dataos-ctl resource delete -f ${manifest-file-path}
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

Specify the Resource type and Depot name in the `delete` command.

**Example Usage:**

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Command 1" %}

```bash
dataos-ctl resource delete -t depot -n databricks
#output
time="2026-03-25T15:53:55+05:30" level=info msg="🗑 delete..."
time="2026-03-25T15:53:55+05:30" level=info msg="🗑 deleting databricks:v2alpha:depot..."
time="2026-03-25T15:53:56+05:30" level=info msg="🗑 deleting databricks:v2alpha:depot...deleted"
time="2026-03-25T15:53:56+05:30" level=info msg="🗑 delete...complete"
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Command 2" %}

```bash
dataos-ctl resource delete -i "databricks|v2alpha|depot"
#output
time="2026-03-25T15:55:37+05:30" level=info msg="🗑 delete..."
time="2026-03-25T15:55:37+05:30" level=info msg="🗑 deleting databricks:v2alpha:depot..."
time="2026-03-25T15:55:37+05:30" level=info msg="🗑 deleting databricks:v2alpha:depot...deleted"
time="2026-03-25T15:55:37+05:30" level=info msg="🗑 delete...complete"
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Command 3" %}

```bash
dataos-ctl resource delete -f /path/to/depot.yaml
#output
time="2026-03-25T15:53:55+05:30" level=info msg="🗑 delete..."
time="2026-03-25T15:53:55+05:30" level=info msg="🗑 deleting databricks:v2alpha:depot..."
time="2026-03-25T15:53:56+05:30" level=info msg="🗑 deleting databricks:v2alpha:depot...deleted"
time="2026-03-25T15:53:56+05:30" level=info msg="🗑 delete...complete"
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://v2.dataos.info/concepts/resources/depot/supported-sources/databricks.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
