How we stash Data to Cloudant DB in IBM Bluemix?
<p>Currently I am trying to stash data into Cloudant DB from a notebook using Python's Pixiedust package. After establishing a connection it gives me this error when trying to insert data into the database.</p>

<pre><code>nPy4JJavaError: An error occurred while calling o172.save.
: org.apache.spark.SparkException: Job aborted due to stage failure: Task 3 in stage 38.0 failed 10 times, most recent failure: '
Lost task 3.9 in stage 38.0 (TID 1811, yp-spark-dal09-env5-0046): spray.http.IllegalUriException: The path of an URI without authority must not begin with "//"
</code></pre>

<p>Please tell me how I can stash data into Cloudant DB from a notebook? </p>

<p>This issue has been addressed and a new version of PixieDust has been uploaded to PyPI. You can download the latest version in your notebook by issuing the following command:</p>

<p><code>!pip install --user --upgrade --no-deps pixiedust</code></p>

<p>Restart your kernel after the upgrade is complete.</p>

<p>You can verify your PixieDust version (this was fixed in version 0.40) by running the following command:</p>

<p><code>!pip show pixiedust</code></p>

<p>The output should look similar to the following:</p>
