Question 11 ( Exam A )

The data engineering team has configured a job to process customer requests to be forgotten (have their data deleted). AU user data that
needs to be deleted is stored in Delta Lake tables using default table settings.
The team has decided to process all deletions from the previous week as a batch Job at 1am each Sonday. The total durabon of this job is
less than one hour. Every Monday at 3am, a batch Job executes a senes of VACUUM commands on all Detta Lake tables throughout the
organization.
The compliance officer has recently learned about Delta Lake's time travel functionality. They are concerned that this might allow
continued access to deleted data.
Assuming all delete logic is correctly implemented, which statement correctly addresses this concern?

A. Because the VACUUM command permanentfy deletes all files containing deleted records, deleted records may be accessible with time
travel for around 24 hours.
8 . Because the default data retention threshold is 24 hours. data files containing deleted records will be retained until the VACUUM job is
run the following day.
C. Because Delta l ake time travel provides full access to the entire history of a table, deleted records can always be recreated by users
with full admm privileges.
D. Because Delta lake's delete statements haYe ACID guarantees, deleted records will be permanently purged from all storage systems as
soon as a delete j ob completes.
E. Because the default data retention threshold is 7 days, data files containing deleted records will be retained until the VACUUM job is run
8 days later.

Question 13 ( Exam A )

An upstream system is emitting change data capture (CDC) logs that are being written to a cloud object storage directory. Each record in
the log indicates the change 1ype (insert. update, or delete) and the values for each field after the change. The source table has a primary
key identifie<I by the field pk_id.
For auditing purposes, the data governance team wishes to maintain a full record of all values that have ever been valid in the source
system. For analytical purposes. only the most recent value for each record needs to be recorded. The Databricks j ob to ingest these
records occurs once per hour, but each individual record may have changed multiple times over the course of an hour.
Which solution meets these requirements?

A. Create a separate history table for each pk_td resolve the current state of the table by running a umon all flttenng the history tables for
the mos, recent state~
B. Use MERGE INTO to insert, update, or delete the most recent entry for each pk_id into a bronze table, then propagate all changes
throughout the system.
C. Iterate through an ordered set of changes to the table, applying e-ach in turn; rely on Delta lake's versioning ability to create an audit
log.
D. Use Delta Lake's change data feed to automatically process COC data from an external system, propagating all changes to all
dependent tables in the lakehouse.
E. lngest all log information into a bronze table; use MERGE INTO to insert update, or delete the most recent entry for each pk_id into a

Question 14 ( Exam A )

An hourly batch job is configured to ingest data files from a cloud object storage container where each batch represent all records
pcoduced by 1he source system in a given hour. The batch job to process these records into the Lakehouse is sufficiently defa;•ed to
ensure no late-arri,..ing data is missed. The userjd field represents a unique key for th-e data, which has 1he following schema: user_id
BIGINT, username STRING. user_utc STRING, userJegion STRING, lasUogin BIGINT, auto_pay BOOLEAN, last_updated BIGINT
New records are all ingested into a table named account_history which maintains a full record of all data in the same schema as the
source. The next table in the system is named account_current and is implemented as a Type 1 table representing the most recent value
for each unique user_id.
Assuming there are millions of user accounts and tens of thousands of records. processed hourly, which implementation can be used to
efficiently update the described account_current table as part of each hourly batch job?

A. Use Auto Loader to subscribe to n-ew files in the account_history directory, configure a Structured Streaming trigger once job to batch
update newty detected files into the account_current table.
B. Overwrite the account_current table with each batch using the results of a query against the accounLhistory table grouping by user_id
and filtering for the max value of lasLupdated.
C. Fitter records in accounLhistory using the !asLupdated field and the most recent hour processed1 as well as the max lasUogin by
us.er_1d write a merge statement to update or insert the most recent value for each user_id.
D. Use Delta lake version history to get the drfference between the latest version of account_history and one version prior, then write
these records to acoount_current.
E. Filter records in accounLhistory using the lasLupdated field and the most recent hour processed, making sure to deduplicate on
us.ername; write a merge statement to update or insert the most recent value for each username.

Question 15 ( Exam A )

A table in the l akehouse named customer_chum_params is used in churn prediction by the machine learning team. The table contains
information about customers derived from a number of upstream sources. Currently, the data engineering team populates this table
nightly by ove1writing the table with the current valid ,aJues derived from upstream data sources.
The churn prediction model used by the Ml team is fairly stable in production. The team is only interested in making predictions on
records that have changed in the past 24 hours.
Which approach would simplify the identification of these changed records?

A. Apply the chum model to all rows in the customer_churn_params table, but implement logic to perform an upsert into the predicuons
table that ignores rows where predictions have not changed.
B. Convert the batch job to a Structured Streaming job usmg the complete output mode; configure a Structured Streaming job to read
from the customer_churn_params table and incrementally predict against the chum model.
C. Calculate the difference between the previous model predictions and the current customer_chum_params on a key identifying unique
customers before making new predictions; only make predictions on those customers not in the previous predictions.
D. Modify the overwrite logic to include a field populated by calling spark.sql.functions.current_timestampQ as data are being wntten; use
this fretd to identify records written on a particular date.
E. Replace the current overwrite logic with a merge statement to modify only those records that have changed; write logic to make
predictions on the changed records identified by the change data feed.

Question 21 ( Exam A)

A Structured Streaming j ob deployed to production has been experiencing delays during peak hours of the day. At present, during normal
execution, each microbatch of data is processed in less than 3 seconds. During peak hours of the day, execution time for each
miCiobatch becomes •1ery inconsistent. sometimes exceeding 30 seconds. The streaming write is currently configured with a trigger
Interval or 10 seconds.
Holding all other variables constant and assuming records need to be processed In less than 10 seconds, which adjustment wlll meet the
requtrement?

A. Decrease the trig-ger interval to S seconds; triggering batches more frequently allows idle executors to begin processing the next batch
while longer running tasks from previous batches finish..
B. Increase the trigger interval to 30 seconds; setting the trigger interval near the maximum execution time obseived for e.ach batch is
always best practice to ensure no records are dropped.
C. The trigger interval cannot be modified without modify;ng the checkpoint directory; to maintain the current stream state, increase the
number of shuffle partitions to maximize parallelism.
0. Use th.e trigger once option and configure a Oatabricks job to execute the QUerJ every 10 seconds; this ensures all backlogged records
are processed with each batch.
E. Decrease the trigger interval to 5 seconds: triggering batches more frequently may prevent records from backing up and large batches
from causing spill.

B. Before a Jobs duster termmates, OPTJMIZE is executed on all tables modified during the most recent job.
C. Optimized writes use logical partrtions instead of directory parbtions: because partition boundaries are only represented In metadata,
fewer small files are written.
0. Data is queued in a messaging bus instead of committing data directly to memory, all data is oommitted from the messaging bus in
one batch once the job is complete.
E. An asynchronous job runs after the write completes to detect if files could be further compacted; if yes, an OPTIMIZE j ob is executed

Question 1

In order to prevent accidental commits to production data, a senior data engineer has instituted a policy
that all development work will reference clones of Delta Lake tables. After testing both deep and shallow
clone, development tables are created using shallow clone.

A few weeks after initial table creation, the cloned versions of several tables implemented as Type 1
Slowly Changing Dimension (SCD) stop working The transaction logs for the source tables show that
vacuum was run the day before

Why are the cloned tables no longer working?

A O The data files compacted by vacuum are not tracked by the cloned metadata: running refresh on the cl
oned table will pull in recent changes
B O Because Type 1 changes overwnte existing records, Delta Lake cannot guarantee data consistency for
c loned tables
C O The metadata created by the clone operation is referencing data files that were purged as invalid by th
e vacuum command
D O Running vacuum automatically invalidates any shallow clones of a table; deep clone should always be
used when a cloned table will be repeatedly queried.

In Delta Lake, a shallow clone creates a new table by copying the metadata of the source table without
duplicating the data files. When the vacuum command 1s run on the source table, 11 removes old data
files that are no longer needed to maintain the transactional log's integrity; potentially including files
referenced by the shallow clone's metadata. If these files are purged, the shallow cloned tables will
reference non-existent data files, causing them to stop working properly This highlights the dependency
of shallow clones on the source table's data files and the impact of data management operations like
vacuum on these clones Reference Databricks documentation on Delta Lake, particularly the sections
on cloning tables (shallow and deep cloning) and data retention with the vacuum command
(https://docs.databricks.com/delta/index.html).

Question 2

A user wants to use DLT expectations to validate that a derived table report contains all records from the
source, Included m the table validation_copy

The user attempts and fails to accomplish this by adding an expectation to the report table definition.

Which approach would allow using DLT expectations to validate all expected records are present in this
table'

A O Define a SQL UDF that performs a left outer join on two tables, and check if this returns null values for
report key values in a DLT expectation for the report table.
B O Define a function that perfonns a left outer Join on validatlon_copy and report and report, and check a
gamst the result in a DLT expectation for the report table
C O Define a temporary table that perform a left outer Join on validation_copy and report, and define an exp
ectation that no report key values are null
D O Define a view that perfonns a left outer join on validatlon_copy and report, and reference this view in D
LT expectations for the report table

To validate that all records from the source are included in the derived table, creating a view that
performs a left outer Join between the validation_copy table and the report 1able Is effecuve. The view
can highlight any discrepancies, such as null values in the repon table's key columns, mdicaling missing
records. This view can then be referenced in DLT (Delta Uve Tables) expectations for the report table to
ensure data Integrity. This approach allows for a comprehensive comparison between the source and
the derived table. Leave a me ssage A

Question 3

The data engineer team has been tasked with configured connections to an external database that does
not have a supported native connector with Databricks The external database already has data security
configured by group membership. These groups map directly to user group already created in Databncks
that represent various teams wnhin the company.

A new login credential has been created for each group m the external database. The Databrlcks Utilities
Secrets module will be used to make these credentials available to Databrlcks users.

Assuming that all the credentials are configured correctly on the external database and group membership
is properly configured on Databricks, which statement describes how teams can be granted the minimum
necessary access to using these credentials?

A O "Read" perrniss1ons should be set on a secret key mapped to 1hose credentials that will be used by a 91
ven team.
B O No additional configuration is necessary as long as all users are configured as administrators in the w
orkspace where secrets have been added.
C O "Read" permissions should be set on a secret scope contam111g only those credentials that will be used
by a given team.
D O "Manage' permission should be set on a secret scope containing only those credentials that will be us
ed by a given team

In Databncks, using the Secrets module allows for secure management of sensitive information such as
database credenlials. Granting 'Read' permissions on a secret key that maps to database credentials for
a spec1f1c team ensures that only members of that team can access these credentials. This approach
aligns with the principle of least privilege, granting users the minimum level of access required to
perform their jobs, thus enhancing secunty.

Question 4

A team of data engineer are adding tables to a DLT pipeline that contain repetitive expectations for many
of the same data quality checks.

One member of the team suggests reusing these data quality rules across all tables defined for this
pipeline.

What approach would allow them to do this?

A O Maintain data quality rules in a Delta table outside of this pipeline's target schema, providing the sche
ma name as a pipeline parameter
B O Use global Python variables to make expectations visible across DLT notebooks included In the same
pipeline
C O Add data quality constraints to tables in this pipeline using an external Job with access to pipeline conf
iguratlon files
D O Maintain data quality rules in a separate Databrlcks notebook that each DlJ notebook of file.

Maintaining data quality rules In a centralized Delta table allows for the reuse of these rules across
muluple DLT (Delta live Tables) pipelines By stonng these rules outside the pipeline's target schema
and referencing the schema name as a pipeline parameter, the team can apply the same set of data
quality checks to different tables wtthin the pipeline. This approach ensures consistency in data quality
validations and reduces redundancy tn code by not having to replicate the same rules m each DLT
notebook or file.

Question 5

A Delta Lake table representing metadata about content from user has the following schema:

user_ld LONG, posLtext STRING, post_ld STRING, longitude FLOAT, latitude FLOAT, post_time TIMESTAMP,
date DATE

Based on the above schema, which column is a good candidate for partitioning the Delta Table?

A 0Date
B 0Post_ld

C Ouser_1d
D 0Post_time

Pan1tion1ng a Delta Lake table Improves query performance by organizing data into partitions based on
the values of a column. In the given schema, the date column rs a good candidate for partitioning for
several reasons:

nme-Based Queries: If queries frequently filter or group by date, partitioning by the date column can
significantly Improve performance by limrting the amount of data scanned

Granularity: The date column likely has a granularity that leads to a reasonable number of partitions (not
too many and not too few) This balance Is important for optimizing both read and write perfonmance

Data Skew: Other columns like post_id or user_ld might lead to uneven partition sizes (data skew),
which can negatively impact perfonmance.

Pan1tion1ng by post_t1me could also be considered, but typically date is preferred due to its more
manageable granularity

Assuming that this code produces logically correct results and the data m the source tab(e has been de-

A O The silver_customer_sales table will be overwritten by aggregated values calculated from all records i
n the gold_customerJifetime_sales_summary table as a batch job.
B O A batch job will update the gold_customerJifetime_sales_summarytable, replacing only those rows th
at have different values than the current version of the table, usmg customer_td as the primary key.
C 0 The gold_customer_llfetime_sales_summary table will be overwrrtten by aggregated values calculated
from all records in the silver_customer_sales table as a batch job.
D O An incremental job will leverage running information In the state store to update aggregate values m th
e gold_customer_lifetime_sales_summary table.
E O An incremental Job will detect if new rows have been written to the s1lver_customer_sales table: i f new
rows are detected, all aggregates will be recalculated and used to overwrite the gold_customer_lifetim
e_sales_summary table.

This code 1s using the pyspark.sql.func11ons library to group the s1lver_customer_sales table by
customer_id and then aggregate the data using the minimum sale date, maximum sale total, and sum
of distinct order ids. The resulting aggregated data 1s then written to the
gold_customer_lifetJme_sales_summary table. overwriting any existing data in that table. This 1s a batch
job that does not use any incremental or streaming logic, and does not perform any merge or update
operations Therefore, the code will overwrite the gold table with the aggregated values from the silver
table every time it is executed.Reference:
