# snowpark-connect-deps-1 — Spark JAR dependencies for Snowpark Connect (Part 1)

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 182.2K/mo

## What it is and what it does

This package is a JAR bundle—a collection of compiled Java libraries—that contains Apache Spark 3.5.6 core components needed by Snowpark Connect. Snowpark Connect is a Python client for executing Spark workloads, and it requires the underlying Spark framework to be available. Rather than asking you to download Spark separately, this package pre-bundles Spark's core components so they're available when you install it.

The package itself is a pure distribution artifact with no Python code and no runtime dependencies. It supports Python 3.10, 3.11, and 3.12. You will likely install this as a transitive dependency of the main Snowpark library rather than directly, as it exists to handle the plumbing of getting Spark's JARs into your environment.

Use it for:

- Setting up a Snowpark Connect environment in Python without manually downloading Apache Spark
- Ensuring consistent Spark 3.5.6 versions across team members and CI/CD pipelines
- Deploying Snowpark applications that execute Spark queries on Snowflake
- Containerizing Snowpark workloads where pre-bundled dependencies reduce image build complexity

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Bundles Apache Spark 3.5.6 JAR files required by Snowpark Connect, eliminating the need to download Spark separately.

Yes, if you are using Snowpark Connect for Python. This is a foundational dependency that will almost certainly be installed automatically when you install the main Snowpark library. It has no external dependencies, carries a permissive license, is actively maintained, and has no known vulnerabilities.

## Install

pip install snowpark-connect-deps-1
uv add snowpark-connect-deps-1
poetry add snowpark-connect-deps-1

## Installing snowpark-connect-deps-1

Before you install: Low friction installation; actively maintained with a release within the last 30 days. No runtime dependencies to resolve.

License in practice: Licensed under Apache License, Version 2.0 (permissive), so you can use, modify, and distribute this package freely in both open-source and commercial projects.

Quickstart:

pip install snowpark-connect-deps-1==3.56.6

# Typically installed as a dependency of Snowpark Connect, not directly imported

Requires Python 3.10, 3.11, or 3.12; does not support Python 3.13 or later

Verify before relying:

- Whether this package is required for all Snowpark Connect use cases or only specific configurations
- Compatibility with non-Python Spark clients or alternative Spark distributions
- Whether installation is typically automatic as a transitive dependency or manual
