Question 76

A data engineer is creating a data ingestion pipeline to understand where customers are taking their rented bicycles during use. The engineer noticed that, over time, data being transmitted from the bicycle sensors fail to include key details like latitude and longitude. Downstream analysts need both the clean records and the quarantined records available for separate processing.
The data engineer already has this code:
import dlt
from pyspark.sql.functions import expr
rules = {
"valid_lat": "(lat IS NOT NULL)",
"valid_long": "(long IS NOT NULL)"
}
quarantine_rules = "NOT({})".format(" AND ".join(rules.values()))
@dlt.view
def raw_trips_data():
return spark.readStream.table("ride_and_go.telemetry.trips")
How should the data engineer meet the requirements to capture good and bad data?

Correct Answer: A
Comprehensive and Detailed
The requirement is that both valid (good) and invalid (bad) records must be captured and available separately for downstream processing. Invalid records should not simply be dropped; they must be quarantined in a dedicated table.
In Databricks Lakeflow Declarative Pipelines (DLT), this is achieved by creating separate output tables:
One table for valid records (Silver table) that pass the expectations.
Another quarantine table that explicitly captures records failing the expectations.
Option A correctly implements this by:
Declaring a DLT table trips_data_quarantine.
Using .filter(expr(quarantine_rules)) to isolate invalid records (records where latitude or longitude is NULL).
This ensures analysts can query both good records (from the main Silver pipeline table) and bad records (from the quarantine table).
Why not the others?
B: Uses @dlt.expect_or_drop, which drops invalid records instead of quarantining them. This violates the requirement that quarantined data should be available.
C: Same as B, but applies expectations in bulk with expect_all_or_drop. Again, bad data is dropped, not quarantined.
D: Adds an is_quarantined flag in the same table. While it marks bad records, it does not separate them into a distinct quarantine table as required by the business use case.
Therefore, Option A is the only solution aligned with Databricks documentation for quarantining invalid data into a dedicated table while keeping valid data in the main pipeline.

Question 77

A data engineer is designing an append-only pipeline that needs to handle both batch and streaming data in Delta Lake. The team wants to ensure that the streaming component can efficiently track which data has already been processed.
Which configuration should be set to enable this?

Correct Answer: A
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract of Databricks Data Engineer Documents:
When working with Delta Lake streaming ingestion, checkpointing is critical for maintaining fault tolerance and ensuring exactly-once data processing semantics.
The checkpointLocation parameter defines the directory where Spark Structured Streaming stores progress information, offsets, and metadata. This allows the engine to resume processing from the last committed offset without reprocessing previously ingested data.
Without checkpointing, each stream restart would reprocess all data, leading to duplicates. Parameters like partitionBy or schema options (mergeSchema / overwriteSchema) affect table structure, not data lineage tracking. Therefore, the correct and required configuration for efficient streaming state management is checkpointLocation.

Question 78

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 Databricks that represent various teams within the company.
A new login credential has been created for each group in the external database. The Databricks Utilities Secrets module will be used to make these credentials available to Databricks 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?

Correct Answer: C
In Databricks, using the Secrets module allows for secure management of sensitive information such as database credentials. Granting 'Read' permissions on a secret key that maps to database credentials for a specific 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 security.

Question 79

A data engineer is configuring a pipeline that will potentially see late-arriving, duplicate records.
In addition to de-duplicating records within the batch, which of the following approaches allows the data engineer to deduplicate data against previously processed records as it is inserted into a Delta table?

Correct Answer: C
To deduplicate data against previously processed records as it is inserted into a Delta table, you can use the merge operation with an insert-only clause. This allows you to insert new records that do not match any existing records based on a unique key, while ignoring duplicate records that match existing records. For example, you can use the following syntax:
MERGE INTO target_table USING source_table ON target_table.unique_key = source_table.unique_key WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT * This will insert only the records from the source table that have a unique key that is not present in the target table, and skip the records that have a matching key. This way, you can avoid inserting duplicate records into the Delta table.

Question 80

Below table temp_data has one column called raw contains JSON data that records temperature for every four hours in the day for the city of Chicago, you are asked to calculate the maximum temperature that was ever recorded for 12:00 PM hour across all the days. Parse the JSON data and use the necessary array function to calculate the max temp.
Table: temp_date
Column: raw
Datatype: string

Expected output: 58
