Description

I contribute to the [.NET for Apache Spark|https://github.com/dotnet/spark] project and we have seen a lot of user interest in providing first class notebook support for .NET for Apache Spark.

Livy currently supports Scala, Python and R interactive sessions. We have a [working prototype|https://github.com/dotnet/spark/tree/master/deployment/HDI-Spark/Notebooks] available that adds support for a Spark Dotnet interactive session and I would like to know if the Livy community would be interested in adding this feature to the main code base.  If so, please let me know and I can work on creating this PR.
