Question 41

The data science team has requested assistance in accelerating queries on free form text from user reviews. The data is currently stored in Parquet with the below schema:
item_id INT, user_id INT, review_id INT, rating FLOAT, review STRING
The review column contains the full text of the review left by the user. Specifically, the data science team is looking to identify if any of 30 key words exist in this field.
A junior data engineer suggests converting this data to Delta Lake will improve query performance.
Which response to the junior data engineer s suggestion is correct?

Correct Answer: A
Converting the data to Delta Lake may not improve query performance on free text fields with high cardinality, such as the review column. This is because Delta Lake collects statistics on the minimum and maximum values of each column, which are not very useful for filtering or skipping data on free text fields. Moreover, Delta Lake collects statistics on the first 32 columns by default, which may not include the review column if the table has more columns. Therefore, the junior data engineer's suggestion is not correct. A better approach would be to use a full-text search engine, such as Elasticsearch, to index and query the review column. Alternatively, you can use natural language processing techniques, such as tokenization, stemming, and lemmatization, to preprocess the review column and create a new column with normalized terms that can be used for filtering or skipping data.

Question 42

What is true for Delta Lake?

Correct Answer: B
* Delta Lake automatically collects statistics on the first 32 columns of each table. These statistics help optimize query performance through data skipping, which allows Databricks to scan only relevant parts of a table.
* This feature significantly improves query efficiency, especially when dealing with large datasets.
Why Other Options Are Incorrect:
* Option A: Views do not cache the most recent versions of the source table; they are recomputed when queried.
* Option C: Z-ORDER can be applied to any data type, including strings, to optimize read performance.
* Option D: Delta Lake does not enforce primary or foreign key constraints.

Question 43

A junior data engineer has been asked to develop a streaming data pipeline with a grouped aggregation using DataFrame df. The pipeline needs to calculate the average humidity and average temperature for each non-overlapping five-minute interval. Incremental state information should be maintained for 10 minutes for late-arriving data.
Streaming DataFrame df has the following schema:
"device_id INT, event_time TIMESTAMP, temp FLOAT, humidity FLOAT"
Code block:
Choose the response that correctly fills in the blank within the code block to complete this task.

Correct Answer: A
The correct answer is A. withWatermark("event_time", "10 minutes"). This is because the question asks for incremental state information to be maintained for 10 minutes for late-arriving data. The withWatermark method is used to define the watermark for late data. The watermark is a timestamp column and a threshold that tells the system how long to wait for late data. In this case, the watermark is set to 10 minutes. The other options are incorrect because they are not valid methods or syntax for watermarking in Structured Streaming. References:

* Windowed aggregations:

Question 44

A Databricks job has been configured with 3 tasks, each of which is a Databricks notebook. Task A does not depend on other tasks. Tasks B and C run in parallel, with each having a serial dependency on Task A.
If task A fails during a scheduled run, which statement describes the results of this run?

Correct Answer: D
When a Databricks job runs multiple tasks with dependencies, the tasks are executed in a dependency graph.
If a task fails, the downstream tasks that depend on it are skipped and marked as Upstream failed. However, the failed task may have already committed some changes to the Lakehouse before the failure occurred, and those changes are not rolled back automatically. Therefore, the job run may result in a partial update of the Lakehouse. To avoid this, you can use the transactional writes feature of Delta Lake to ensure that the changes are only committed when the entire job run succeeds. Alternatively, you can use the Run if condition to configure tasks to run even when some or all of their dependencies have failed, allowing your job to recover from failures and continue running.

Question 45

Review the following error traceback:

Which statement describes the error being raised?

Correct Answer: B
Explanation
The error being raised is an AnalysisException, which is a type of exception that occurs when Spark SQL cannot analyze or execute a query due to some logical or semantic error1. In this case, the error message indicates that the query cannot resolve the column name 'heartrateheartrateheartrate' given the input columns
'heartrate' and 'age'. This means that there is no column in the table named 'heartrateheartrateheartrate', and the query is invalid. A possible cause of this error is a typo or a copy-paste mistake in the query. To fix this error, the query should use a valid column name that exists in the table, such as
'heartrate'. References: AnalysisException
