A data engineer runs the following command to load data into a Delta table: COPY INTO my_table FROM '/path/to/files' FILEFORMAT = PARQUET; However, no new data is loaded into the table. What is the most likely explanation?

The files were already ingested in a previous COPY INTO operation

The file format was not configured using the FORMAT_OPTIONS clause

The specific file names to be loaded were not explicitly listed using the FILES clause

The PARQUET file format is incompatible with the COPY INTO command

The data will not be visible until the table is refreshed using a separate command

A data analyst is cleaning up old project assets and executes the following command to remove a table named archived_customers: DROP TABLE IF EXISTS archived_customers; After running the command, they verify that the table no longer appears in the database using SHOW TABLES. However, upon checking the storage location, they notice that the actual data files are still present in the directory. What is the most likely reason the data files were not deleted along with the table metadata?

The table was linked to external storage, so its files are not managed by Spark

The dataset was too large for automatic deletion of files

The dataset was too small to trigger a full cleanup

The table was missing a specified schema or location

The table was registered as a fully managed asset and should have been deleted entirely

A view, to define a logical representation without storing physical data

A temporary view, which is only accessible within the current session

A data engineer defines an expectation in a Delta Live Table pipeline to enforce that all values in the sales_amount column must be greater than 0. They use the following clause: EXPECT (sales_amount > 0) ON VIOLATION DROP ROW What will happen when a batch of data containing rows with sales_amount <= 0 is processed?

Only the rows violating the expectation will be written

A warning will be logged, but all rows will be written

A data engineer sets up an expectation in a DLT pipeline with the following clause: EXPECT (order_date IS NOT NULL) ON VIOLATION FAIL UPDATE What will be the outcome if the incoming batch contains one or more rows where order_date is NULL?

Only the valid rows will be processed, and invalid rows will be dropped

The pipeline will continue processing and log the issue

A NULL value will be replaced with the current date

The invalid rows will be moved to a quarantine table

A data engineer is working with streaming data from a Silver table and wants to continuously write aggregated results to a Gold table using PySpark.

A data engineer is managing a Delta Live Tables (DLT) pipeline that includes multiple transformation steps: ingesting raw data, cleaning it, and producing a refined output. They have applied data quality expectations with ON VIOLATION DROP ROW at different stages of the pipeline to remove invalid records. Now, they notice that some expected records are missing in the final output and suspect that one of the intermediate tables is dropping them due to data quality checks. How can the data engineer identify which stage of the pipeline is dropping the rows?

Use the DLT UI to inspect each table and review row-level quality metrics

Check the pipeline logs from the cluster event timeline for error messages

Compare row counts across all tables using external BI tools

Analyze job run metrics in the Spark UI for dropped data indicators

Use Auto Loader history logs to trace the origin of dropped records

They can add a new task to the current job for summary generation and set the model training task to depend on it

They can insert the summary code into the model training notebook and run everything in a single task

They can create a new job that contains only the summary task and run it manually before the model training job

They can split the existing job into two separate jobs and schedule them back-to-back

They can modify the existing task to run both notebooks in parallel using multitasking

Which of the following actions can the data engineer take to reduce the cluster startup delays and improve overall job execution time?

Assign the tasks to use clusters from a pre-initialized cluster pool

Switch the workflow to use SQL endpoints instead of notebooks

Replace the existing job clusters with all-purpose interactive clusters

Configure the job to use single-node clusters to speed up initialization

Enable autoscaling on the clusters to adjust compute during execution

A data engineer is working with a Delta table named projects, where each row contains an array column contributors, storing contributor objects with fields name and commits. The engineer wants to add a new column active_contributors that includes only those contributors with more than 50 commits. To apply this transformation efficiently across the dataset, the data engineer decides to use the FILTER higher-order function. Which of the following code blocks successfully creates the active_contributors column using the desired logic?

SELECT *, FILTER(contributors, c -> c.commits > 50) AS active_contributors FROM projects

SELECT *, MAP(contributors, c -> c.commits > 50) AS active_contributors FROM projects

SELECT *, TRANSFORM(contributors, c -> c.commits > 50) AS active_contributors FROM projects

The orders table is a streaming live table and needs to be consumed as a stream.

The STREAM function is optional and should be removed for better performance.

The orders table is a static input table and must be converted to streaming.

The query is not valid unless the source is an external Kafka stream.

The STREAM function is required when filtering on numeric columns.
