Import own modules in Jupyter notebook on HDInsight

Source: stackoverflow.com --- Saturday, December 31, 2016
I have deployed a HDInsight 3.5 Spark (2.0) cluster on Microsoft Azure with the standard configurations (Location = US East, Head Nodes = D12 v2 (x2), Worker Nodes = D4 v2 (x4)). When the cluster is running, I connect to Jupyter notebook and I try to import an own created module. import own_module This unfortunately does not work, so I tried to 1) upload own_module.py in Jupyter Notebook home and 2) added own_module.py to /home/sshuser via ssh connection. Afterwards I added /home/sshuser to the sys.path and PYTHONPATH: sys.path.append('/home/sshuser') os.environ['PYTHONPATH'] = os.environ['PYTHONPATH'] + ':/home/sshuser' This manipulation also does not work. And the error still shows: No module named own_module Traceback (most recent call last): ImportError: No module named own_module Could someone tell how to I can import own modules? Preferably by putting them in Azure blob storage and afterwards transferring them to the HDInsight cluster. ...
