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 in CDE 1.19 using the user interface and
CLI.
Ensure that you are using a version of CDE 1.19 or higher for your Virtual
Cluster.
