chris snow commented on TOREE-234:
----------------------------------
I recently used Toree with pyspark and found it really cumbersome not to be
able to use magics. Unfortunately, not having magics like bash significantly
reduces the usability of Toree.
With many spark environments now running in containers that are dedicated to
the end user, are security concerns still so relevant? Especially if this
functionality could be enabled/disabled. by a flag.
> Suggest expanding magics by Including ! shell commands attached

> Indeed, MetaKernel can handle magics and shell commands (% and !,
> respectively). If the allspark is using the wrapper-kernel API, then
> MetaKernel is a drop in replacement and will give you magics, shell, and
> more. If it is written in some other language than Python, then you either
> need to fire up a connection to Python (to re-use IPython's magics, or
> MetKernel's magics) or rewrite them in the host language.
