@echarles Currently there are two ways to add external dependencies: add a
new paragraph to the notebook using `spark.dep` interpreter and `z.load()`.
This works because it downloads the dependencies inside the driver. There is an
issue with this on Spark 2.2 and Scala 2.11.8 similar to
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZEPPELIN-2475. Adding artifacts to
Interpreter setting doesnât work in case of Spark `cluster` mode, since
dependencies are downloaded locally. Maybe we can think about something like:
in case of `deployMode=cluster` add artifact to --packages automatically and
donât download it locally.
