   -

   Pros
   -

      Easy to learn Spark(Scala, python …)
      -

      PySpark is faster than Jupyter
      -

         After you set properly :-)
         -

   Cons
   -

      Hard to understand concepts (shared, scoped, isolated)
      -

         Ask users to hide/remove some features outdated?
         -

      Hard to use Zeppelin
      -

         Lack of tutorials and examples
         -

         VS. Jupyter
         -

            Jupyter has a lot of references
            -

         How to improve
         -

            Zeppelin also provides read-only notebooks
            -

      -

         How to improve

            Provide ways like tooltips to describe something
            -

      UI issues
      -

         Too many paragraphs make slower for whole navigation
         -

         If typing fastly, some disappear!!!
         -

            Even if every user uses a different notebook.
            -

            Maybe websocket issue
