Databricks Connect Client

Databricks Connect allows you to connect popular IDEs, notebook servers, and custom applications to Databricks clusters. It's a client library that configures standard PySpark APIs to run commands remotely on Databricks clusters, enabling local development and debugging against data on a remote cluster. The current version is 18.1.2, with releases tied closely to Databricks Runtime (DBR) versions, typically aligning with DBR major/LTS releases and subsequent patch updates.
