Transition to Kyuubi REST API for Spark connection

We have transitioned from using JDBC to the Kyuubi REST API for connecting Spark. This change provides enhanced flexibility, security, and maintainability.

The new approach uses REST endpoints for authentication and session management, eliminating the need to embed static credentials in the connection URL. Kyuubi's REST APIs are used to programmatically establish sessions and submit Spark SQL queries.
