Sessions refer to Spark sessions that are available in the workspaces in E-MapReduce (EMR) Serverless Spark.
Session types
EMR Serverless Spark supports the following session types:
SQL session: used for SQL development and queries. If you want to perform a query in the SQL editor, select an SQL session based on your business requirements.
Notebook session: used to run notebooks. When you develop a notebook, you must create a notebook session or select an existing notebook session based on your business requirements.
Spark Thrift Server: A Spark Thrift Server is a service provided by Apache Spark. A Spark Thrift Server allows you to connect to Spark and execute SQL queries based on Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) or Open Database Connectivity (ODBC). This helps you integrate Spark with existing business intelligence (BI) tools, data visualization tools, and other data analysis tools.
