@S V Ravi Chandra Kolluri - Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.

It seems like you are facing an issue with Azure Databricks cluster.The error message "Failure starting repl. Try detaching and re-attaching the notebook" usually occurs when there is an issue with the cluster.

Here are a few things you can try to resolve the issue:

1. Detach and re-attach the notebook to the cluster.
2. Restart the cluster.
3. Check if the cluster has enough resources to run the command.
4. Check if there are any network connectivity issues between the notebook and the cluster.
5. Try to create a new cluster and see if you are experiencing the same issue.

If none of these steps work, you can share the details about the Azure databricks workspace region?

I tried to run the same and able to execute without any issue from our end:

For more details, refer to Databricks notebook execution contexts.

Looking forward for your response.
