   <!-- Answer -->
   The error "TypeError: cannot use a string pattern on a bytes-like object" 
indicates a mismatch between string and byte data types. To resolve this issue 
in your Superset application when using Redis for session management, ensure 
that the session data is properly encoded and decoded.
   
   Here's how you can adjust your `superset_config.py` to handle this:
   
   1. **Ensure Proper Encoding and Decoding**:
      Make sure that any data being stored or retrieved from the session is 
properly encoded to bytes or decoded to strings as needed.
   
      ```python
      from redis import Redis
   
      SESSION_TYPE = "redis"
      SESSION_REDIS = Redis(host="superset-redis-prod-01", port=6379, db=0)
      SESSION_USE_SIGNER = True
      SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE = True
      SESSION_COOKIE_HTTPONLY = True
      SESSION_COOKIE_SAMESITE = "Lax"
   
      # Example of encoding and decoding session data
      def encode_data(data):
          return data.encode('utf-8') if isinstance(data, str) else data
   
      def decode_data(data):
          return data.decode('utf-8') if isinstance(data, bytes) else data
      ```
   
   2. **Check Session Data Handling**:
      If you are manually handling session data, ensure that you encode strings 
to bytes before storing them in Redis and decode bytes to strings when 
retrieving them.
   
      ```python
      # Example usage
      session_data = "some string data"
      encoded_session_data = encode_data(session_data)
      # Store `encoded_session_data` in Redis
   
      # When retrieving
      retrieved_data = decode_data(encoded_session_data)
      ```
   
   By ensuring that the data types are correctly handled, you can avoid the 
"TypeError: cannot use a string pattern on a bytes-like object" error
