I would agree with Marcelo's comment the JIRA that this isn't a good feature for livy, but I'll take a look at your impl if you open a PR and see if it changes my mind.

I can send a PR Ideally, it would be helpful if we could mint a session ID with a PUT > request, something like PUT /sessions/foobar, where "foobar" is the newly > created sessionId. > > I suggest we make session names unique and nonnumeric values (to guarantee a session name does not clash with another session name or session ID).
