A Cloudera Data Engineering (CDE) Session is an interactive short-lived development
environment for running Spark commands to help you iterate upon and build your Spark workloads.
The commands that are run in a CDE Session are called
Statements. You can submit the Statements through the connect CLI command or the Interact tab
in the CDE UI for a Session. Python and Scala are the supported Session types. Learn how to
use Cloudera Data Engineering (CDE) Sessions using the user interface and
