Which operation is supported with streaming_df?

Correct Answer: B
In Structured Streaming, only transformation operations are allowed on streaming DataFrames. These include select(), filter(), where(), groupBy(), withColumn(), etc.
Example of supported transformation:
filtered_df = streaming_df.filter("count < 30")
However, actions such as count(), show(), and collect() are not supported directly on streaming DataFrames because streaming queries are unbounded and never finish until stopped.
To perform aggregations, the query must be executed through writeStream and an output sink.
Why the other options are incorrect:
A: count() is an action, not allowed directly on streaming DataFrames.
C: countDistinct() is a stateful aggregation, not supported outside of a proper streaming query.
D: show() is also an action, unsupported on streaming queries.
Reference:
PySpark Structured Streaming Programming Guide - supported transformations and actions.

Question 7

25 of 55.
A Data Analyst is working on employees_df and needs to add a new column where a 10% tax is calculated on the salary.
Additionally, the DataFrame contains the column age, which is not needed.
Which code fragment adds the tax column and removes the age column?

Correct Answer: A
To create a new calculated column in Spark, use the .withColumn() method.
To remove an unwanted column, use the .drop() method.
Correct syntax:
from pyspark.sql.functions import col
employees_df = employees_df.withColumn("tax", col("salary") * 0.1).drop("age")
.withColumn("tax", col("salary") * 0.1) → adds a new column where tax = 10% of salary.
.drop("age") → removes the age column from the DataFrame.
Why the other options are incorrect:
B: lit(0.1) creates a constant value, not a calculated tax.
C: .dropField() is not a DataFrame API method (used only in struct field manipulations).
D: Adds 0.1 to salary instead of calculating 10%.
Reference:
PySpark DataFrame API - withColumn(), drop(), and col().
Databricks Exam Guide (June 2025): Section "Developing Apache Spark DataFrame/DataSet API Applications" - manipulating, renaming, and dropping columns.

Question 8

Which command overwrites an existing JSON file when writing a DataFrame?

Correct Answer: A
The correct way to overwrite an existing file using the DataFrameWriter is:
df.write.mode("overwrite").json("path/to/file")
Option D is also technically valid, but Option A is the most concise and idiomatic PySpark syntax.
Reference:PySpark DataFrameWriter API
insert code

Question 9

A developer initializes a SparkSession:

spark = SparkSession.builder \
.appName("Analytics Application") \
.getOrCreate()
Which statement describes thesparkSparkSession?

Correct Answer: C
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:
According to the PySpark API documentation:
"getOrCreate(): Gets an existing SparkSession or, if there is no existing one, creates a new one based on the options set in this builder." This means Spark maintains a global singleton session within a JVM process. Repeated calls togetOrCreate() return the same session, unless explicitly stopped.
Option A is incorrect: the method does not destroy any session.
Option B incorrectly ties uniqueness toappName, which does not influence session reusability.
Option D is incorrect: it contradicts the fundamental behavior ofgetOrCreate().

Question 10

What is the risk associated with this operation when converting a large Pandas API on Spark DataFrame back to a Pandas DataFrame?

Correct Answer: D
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:
When you convert a largepyspark.pandas(aka Pandas API on Spark) DataFrame to a local Pandas DataFrame using.toPandas(), Spark collects all partitions to the driver.
From the Spark documentation:
"Be careful when converting large datasets to Pandas. The entire dataset will be pulled into the driver's memory." Thus, for large datasets, this can cause memory overflow or out-of-memory errors on the driver.
Final Answer: D
