Description

Livy supports named sessions (LIVY-41), however these cannot be used when connecting to existing sessions via JDBC.

The Thrift Server can set the session name (see LIVY-652), but it seems like it cannot use an existing session name and connect to it. The task would be to implement this feature and add unit tests for it.
