Spark starter pool is not working with F4 capacity

Spark starter pool is not working.

I have F4 capacity with 1 medium node.

I have to wait about 3 minutes for it to start instead of a few seconds

This seems like the same issue that was described here: https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/General-Discussion/Slow-starter-pool-session-initializatio... - I have not seen any of the documents being updated with "known issues" or received any update on this matter yet.

It is similar but not the same.

I have F4 capacity not F2.

F4 Capacity it have 8 spark core(1 Medium node) enough to use Spark Starter Pool.

I thing there is some bugs add with enviroment preview

Hi @marcoG ,

I am trying to get the confirmation on the same. We have a bug filed for F2.
Let me check with the internal for F4.

Appreciate your patience.
