A data engineering team has a time-consuming data ingestion job with three data sources. Each notebook takes about one hour to load new data. One day, the job fails because a notebook update introduced a new required configuration parameter. The team must quickly fix the issue and load the latest data from the failing source.
Which action should the team take?
A data ingestion task requires a one-TB JSON dataset to be written out to Parquet with a target part-file size of 512 MB. Because Parquet is being used instead of Delta Lake, built-in file-sizing features such as Auto- Optimize and Auto-Compaction cannot be used.
Which strategy will yield the best performance without shuffling data?
The following code has been migrated to a Databricks notebook from a legacy workload:

The code executes successfully and provides the logically correct results, however, it takes over 20 minutes to extract and load around 1 GB of data.
Which statement is a possible explanation for this behavior?
A data team is implementing an append-only Delta Lake pipeline that processes both batch and streaming data . They want to ensure that schema changes in the source data are automatically incorporated without breaking the pipeline.
Which configuration should the team use when writing data to the Delta table?
The DevOps team has configured a production workload as a collection of notebooks scheduled to run daily using the Jobs Ul. A new data engineering hire is onboarding to the team and has requested access to one of these notebooks to review the production logic.
What are the maximum notebook permissions that can be granted to the user without allowing accidental changes to production code or data?
The data engineering team maintains the following code:

Assuming that this code produces logically correct results and the data in the source table has been de- duplicated and validated, which statement describes what will occur when this code is executed?
A data architect has designed a system in which two Structured Streaming jobs will concurrently write to a single bronze Delta table. Each job is subscribing to a different topic from an Apache Kafka source, but they will write data with the same schema. To keep the directory structure simple, a data engineer has decided to nest a checkpoint directory to be shared by both streams.
The proposed directory structure is displayed below:

Which statement describes whether this checkpoint directory structure is valid for the given scenario and why?
A table named user_ltv is being used to create a view that will be used by data analysis on various teams.
Users in the workspace are configured into groups, which are used for setting up data access using ACLs.
The user_ltv table has the following schema:

An analyze who is not a member of the auditing group executing the following query:

Which result will be returned by this query?
The data architect has mandated that all tables in the Lakehouse should be configured as external (also known as " unmanaged " ) Delta Lake tables.
Which approach will ensure that this requirement is met?
To reduce storage and compute costs, the data engineering team has been tasked with curating a series of aggregate tables leveraged by business intelligence dashboards, customer-facing applications, production machine learning models, and ad hoc analytical queries.
The data engineering team has been made aware of new requirements from a customer-facing application, which is the only downstream workload they manage entirely. As a result, an aggregate table used by numerous teams across the organization will need to have a number of fields renamed, and additional fields will also be added.
Which of the solutions addresses the situation while minimally interrupting other teams in the organization without increasing the number of tables that need to be managed?
