In the comments bellow, by batch I mean a Livy job that is not interactive.
This is not to be confused with batch vs streaming jobs in Spark. A Livy
batch job could be a Spark streaming or batch job. A Livy interactive job
could be a Spark batch or streaming job as well:

If HA is enabled and the jobs are running on YARN, Livy recovers the jobs
on restart.

There is not primary-secondary HA, but Livy can recover jobs after a crash
or restart.

Yes. Each jobs gets its own unique ID. The upper limit for now is about 2
billion (When Integer.MaxValue overflows) if the jobs are not submitted in
a burst, otherwise Livy has a configurable rate limiter.

Each Livy batch job is independent of other batch jobs. Livy is not aware
of dependencies between batch (or interactive) jobs. Dependencies should be
handled by the user outside Livy.
Each batch job runs
