A data organization leader is upset about the data analysis team’s reports being different from the data engineering team’s reports. The leader believes the siloed nature of their organization’s data engineering and data analysis architectures is to blame.
Which of the following describes how a data lakehouse could alleviate this issue?
A data engineer has a Python variable table_name that they would like to use in a SQL query. They want to construct a Python code block that will run the query using table_name.
They have the following incomplete code block:
____(f"SELECT customer_id, spend FROM {table_name}")
Which of the following can be used to fill in the blank to successfully complete the task?
A data engineer is designing a data pipeline. The source system generates files in a shared directory that is also used by other processes. As a result, the files should be kept as is and will accumulate in the directory. The data engineer needs to identify which files are new since the previous run in the pipeline, and set up the pipeline to only ingest those new files with each run.
Which of the following tools can the data engineer use to solve this problem?
A data engineer wants to create a new table containing the names of customers that live in France.
They have written the following command:
A senior data engineer mentions that it is organization policy to include a table property indicating that the new table includes personally identifiable information (PII).
Which of the following lines of code fills in the above blank to successfully complete the task?
A data engineer is running code in a Databricks Repo that is cloned from a central Git repository. A colleague of the data engineer informs them that changes have beenmade and synced to the central Git repository. The data engineer now needs to sync their Databricks Repo to get the changes from the central Git repository.
Which of the following Git operations does the data engineer need to run to accomplish this task?
A data engineering team has noticed that their Databricks SQL queries are running too slowly when they are submitted to a non-running SQL endpoint. The data engineering team wants this issue to be resolved.
Which of the following approaches can the team use to reduce the time it takes to return results in this scenario?
Which of the following data lakehouse features results in improved data quality over a traditional data lake?
A data engineer is attempting to drop a Spark SQL table my_table. The data engineer wants to delete all table metadata and data.
They run the following command:
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS my_table
While the object no longer appears when they run SHOW TABLES, the data files still exist.
Which of the following describes why the data files still exist and the metadata files were deleted?
Which of the following is hosted completely in the control plane of the classic Databricks architecture?
A data engineer has been using a Databricks SQL dashboard to monitor the cleanliness of the input data to a data analytics dashboard for a retail use case. The job has a Databricks SQL query that returns the number of store-level records where sales is equal to zero. The data engineer wants their entire team to be notified via a messaging webhook whenever this value is greater than 0.
Which of the following approaches can the data engineer use to notify their entire team via a messaging webhook whenever the number of stores with $0 in sales is greater than zero?
Which of the following describes a benefit of creating an external table from Parquet rather than CSV when using a CREATE TABLE AS SELECT statement?
A data engineer is working with two tables. Each of these tables is displayed below in its entirety.
The data engineer runs the following query to join these tables together:
Which of the following will be returned by the above query?
A data analyst has developed a query that runs against Delta table. They want help from the data engineering team to implement a series of tests to ensure the data returned by the query is clean. However, the data engineering team uses Python for its tests rather than SQL.
Which of the following operations could the data engineering team use to run the query and operate with the results in PySpark?
A single Job runs two notebooks as two separate tasks. A data engineer has noticed that one of the notebooks is running slowly in the Job’s current run. The data engineer asks a tech lead for help in identifying why this might be the case.
Which of the following approaches can the tech lead use to identify why the notebook is running slowly as part of the Job?
Which of the following data workloads will utilize a Gold table as its source?
In which of the following scenarios should a data engineer select a Task in the Depends On field of a new Databricks Job Task?
A data engineer has a single-task Job that runs each morning before they begin working. After identifying an upstream data issue, they need to set up another task to run a new notebook prior to the original task.
Which of the following approaches can the data engineer use to set up the new task?
An engineering manager wants to monitor the performance of a recent project using a Databricks SQL query. For the first week following the project’s release, the manager wants the query results to be updated every minute. However, the manager is concerned that the compute resources used for the query will be left running and cost the organization a lot of money beyond the first week of the project’s release.
Which of the following approaches can the engineering team use to ensure the query does not cost the organization any money beyond the first week of the project’s release?
A data engineer needs to apply custom logic to string column city in table stores for a specific use case. In order to apply this custom logic at scale, the data engineer wants to create a SQL user-defined function (UDF).
Which of the following code blocks creates this SQL UDF?
