Recently my Databricks jobs have failed with the error message:

Failure starting repl. Try detaching and re-attaching the notebook.
 
java.lang.Exception: Python repl did not start in 30 seconds seconds.
	at com.databricks.backend.daemon.driver.IpykernelUtils$.startIpyKernel(JupyterDriverLocal.scala:1469)

The job is attached to a pool using Spot Pricing.

What is the best procedure to avoid this? Adding retry?
