Koen Verbeeck doesn’t have time to wait:
You might know the feeling: you’re writing code in a Notebook in Microsoft Fabric and suddenly you have to leave your workstation for a while. Someone ran the doorbell (you’re working from home and you get some parcels delivered), or you took a coffee break with some colleagues. When you return to your notebook, the Spark session has timed out and when you run a cell, you have to wait for the damn thing to restart again. The agony, waiting for 2-3 minutes for the session to start, and only after that the actual code can start running.
Read on to see how you can set the timeout to a custom value, assuming you’re okay with paying for the Spark cluster to sit around until it times out.
