@vidma 1. The version I am using is: notebook: 0.7.0; scala: 2.10.6; spark: 2.0.1; hadoop: 2.7.2. Do you remember if there was a way to solve the escape character problem?...

@antonkulaga Could you tell me how to get rid of the problem? Also, it seems as if the program doesn't even recognize "sparkContext".

Further, attached is the log file of the session. [sn-session-e8fe939f-ee2c-49f7-8796-2335cab4569e-new.snb.txt](https://github.com/andypetrella/spark-notebook/files/742751/sn-session-e8fe939f-ee2c-49f7-8796-2335cab4569e-new.snb.txt)

It seems like #740 has some resolution by using master branch from spark.notebook.io but I can't download the master branch from spark.notebook.io . Any ideas?

@andypetrella Requesting some help.

@ittayd Could you please explain how you set hadoop.home.dir?
