cloudant apache-spark access design document - apache-spark

Question

The following works for me when I just use the database name:
database = 'databasename'
cloudantdata_df = sqlContext.read.format("com.cloudant.spark").\
option("cloudant.host", host).\
option("cloudant.username", username).\
option("cloudant.password", password).\
load(database)
cloudantdata_df.printSchema()
However, when I try to load a particular design document and view name using the format like:
database = 'databasename/_design/analytics/_view/invBA'
I get the following java exception:
Py4JJavaError: An error occurred while calling o54.load.
: java.lang.RuntimeException: Database databasename/_design/analytics/_view/invBA request error: {"error":"method_not_allowed","reason":"Only GET,POST,HEAD allowed"}

Is there a way to look at a particular design document view name?

Answer 1

In github, there is an example how to load views:https://github.com/cloudant-labs/spark-cloudant/blob/master/examples/python/CloudantDF.py#L74
You need to use view option.
In your particular case it will be:
cloudantdata_df = sqlContext.read.format("com.cloudant.spark").\
option("cloudant.host", host).\
option("cloudant.username", username).\
option("cloudant.password", password).\
option("view","_design/analytics/_view/invBA").load(database)
