 ## JDBC Interpreter Datasource Pool Configuration
 The Jdbc interpreter uses the connection pool technology, and supports users to do some personal configuration of the connection pool. For example, we can configure `default.validationQuery='select 1'` and `default.testOnBorrow=true` in the Interpreter configuration to avoid the "Invalid SessionHandle" runtime error caused by Session timeout when connecting to HiveServer2 through JDBC interpreter.
