Question 66

In the code block below, aggDF contains aggregations on a streaming DataFrame:

Which output mode at line 3 ensures that the entire result table is written to the console during each trigger execution?

Correct Answer: A
The correct output mode for streaming aggregations that need to output the full updated results at each trigger is "complete".
From the official documentation:
"complete: The entire updated result table will be output to the sink every time there is a trigger." This is ideal for aggregations, such as counts or averages grouped by a key, where the result table changes incrementally over time.
append: only outputs newly added rows
replace and aggregate: invalid values for output mode
insert code

Question 67

A data scientist has identified that some records in the user profile table contain null values in any of the fields, and such records should be removed from the dataset before processing. The schema includes fields like user_id, username, date_of_birth, created_ts, etc.
The schema of the user profile table looks like this:

Which block of Spark code can be used to achieve this requirement?
Options:

Correct Answer: C
na.drop(how='any')drops any row that has at least one null value.
This is exactly what's needed when the goal is to retain only fully complete records.
Usage:CopyEdit
filtered_df = users_raw_df.na.drop(how='any')
Explanation of incorrect options:
A: thresh=0 is invalid - thresh must be # 1.
B: how='all' drops only rows where all columns are null (too lenient).
D: spark.na.drop doesn't support mixing how and thresh in that way; it's incorrect syntax.
Reference:PySpark DataFrameNaFunctions.drop()
insert code

Question 68

40 of 55.
A developer wants to refactor older Spark code to take advantage of built-in functions introduced in Spark 3.5.
The original code:
from pyspark.sql import functions as F
min_price = 110.50
result_df = prices_df.filter(F.col("price") > min_price).agg(F.count("*")) Which code block should the developer use to refactor the code?

Correct Answer: A
To compare a column value with a Python literal constant in a DataFrame expression, use F.lit() to convert it into a Spark literal.
Correct refactor:
from pyspark.sql import functions as F
min_price = 110.50
result_df = prices_df.filter(F.col("price") > F.lit(min_price)).agg(F.count("*")) This avoids type mismatches and ensures Spark executes the filter expression on the cluster.
Why the other options are incorrect:
B: where() syntax is valid, but F.lit("price") is incorrect - wraps string literal, not a column.
C: withColumn adds a column, not needed for this aggregation.
D: Comparison logic reversed.

Question 69

A Spark application is experiencing performance issues in client mode because the driver is resource- constrained.
How should this issue be resolved?

Correct Answer: C
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:
In Spark's client mode, the driver runs on the local machine that submitted the job. If that machine is resource- constrained (e.g., low memory), performance degrades.
From the Spark documentation:
"In cluster mode, the driver runs inside the cluster, benefiting from cluster resources and scalability." Option A is incorrect - executors do not help the driver directly.
Option B might help short-term but does not scale.
Option C is correct - switching to cluster mode moves the driver to the cluster.
Option D (local mode) is for development/testing, not production.
Final Answer: C
insert code

Question 70

10 of 55.
What is the benefit of using Pandas API on Spark for data transformations?

Correct Answer: A
Pandas API on Spark provides a distributed implementation of the Pandas DataFrame API on top of Apache Spark.
Advantages:
Executes transformations in parallel across all nodes and cores in the cluster.
Maintains Pandas-like syntax, making it easy for Python users to transition.
Enables scaling of existing Pandas code to handle large datasets without memory limits.
Therefore, it combines Pandas usability with Spark's distributed power, offering both speed and scalability.
Why the other options are incorrect:
B: While it uses Python, that's not its main advantage.
C: It runs distributed across the cluster, not on a single node.
D: Pandas API on Spark uses lazy evaluation, not eager computation.
Reference:
PySpark Pandas API Overview - advantages of distributed execution.
Databricks Exam Guide (June 2025): Section "Using Pandas API on Apache Spark" - explains the benefits of Pandas API integration for scalable transformations.
