Description

From the documentation:

PySpark is an interface for Apache Spark in Python. It not only allows you to write Spark applications using Python APIs, but also provides the PySpark shell for interactively analyzing your data in a distributed environment.

The primary requirement for instrumentation is that metrics are reported for queries along with metadata such as the applicationId which uniquely identifies a given job.
