Create a new session as a copy of another on Livy <p>I use livy to use Spark as a service. My application send some commands to livy as code, however, spark needs to initialize some variables(read some files, make some map&amp;reduce operations etc.) and this take time. This initializing part is common for all sessions. After the construction, different statements may be sent to these sessions.</p> <p>What i wonder is when livy creates a session, is it possible to copy an old session line an image or should it start everything from scratch?</p> <p>Thank you in advance.</p>
