                                                                                            1. A data engineer and a platform engineer are working together to automate their system tasks. A script needs to be executed outside of Databricks only if a particular daily Databricks job finishes successfully for the day. Databricks CLI command was used to check the last execution of the job. What are the required command options for that task?

                                                                                            A) databricks jobs list-runs --job-id JOB_ID --start-time-to TODAY_MIDNIGHT_EPOCH_MS --active- only
                                                                                            B) databricks jobs list-runs --job-id JOB_ID --start-time-from TODAY_MIDNIGHT_EPOCH_MS -- completed-only
                                                                                            C) databricks jobs list-runs --job-id JOB_ID --start-time-from TODAY_MIDNIGHT_EPOCH_MS -- active-only
                                                                                            D) databricks jobs list-runs --job-id JOB_ID --start-time-to TODAY_MIDNIGHT_EPOCH_MS -- completed-only


                                                                                            2. The data engineering team maintains the following code:

                                                                                            Assuming that this code produces logically correct results and the data in the source tables has been de-duplicated and validated, which statement describes what will occur when this code is executed?

                                                                                            A) The enriched_itemized_orders_by_account table will be overwritten using the current valid version of data in each of the three tables referenced in the join logic.
                                                                                            B) A batch job will update the enriched_itemized_orders_by_account table, replacing only those rows that have different values than the current version of the table, using accountID as the primary key.
                                                                                            C) An incremental job will detect if new rows have been written to any of the source tables; if new rows are detected, all results will be recalculated and used to overwrite the enriched_itemized_orders_by_account table.
                                                                                            D) No computation will occur until enriched_itemized_orders_by_account is queried; upon query materialization, results will be calculated using the current valid version of data in each of the three tables referenced in the join logic.
                                                                                            E) An incremental job will leverage information in the state store to identify unjoined rows in the source tables and write these rows to the enriched_iteinized_orders_by_account table.


                                                                                            3. The marketing team is looking to share data in an aggregate table with the sales organization, but the field names used by the teams do not match, and a number of marketing specific fields have not been approval for the sales org.
                                                                                            Which of the following solutions addresses the situation while emphasizing simplicity?

                                                                                            A) Create a view on the marketing table selecting only these fields approved for the sales team alias the names of any fields that should be standardized to the sales naming conventions.
                                                                                            B) Create a new table with the required schema and use Delta Lake's DEEP CLONE functionality to sync up changes committed to one table to the corresponding table.
                                                                                            C) Add a parallel table write to the current production pipeline, updating a new sales table that varies as required from marketing table.
                                                                                            D) Instruct the marketing team to download results as a CSV and email them to the sales organization.
                                                                                            E) Use a CTAS statement to create a derivative table from the marketing table configure a production jon to propagation changes.

                                                                                            .filter("event_date > '2024-01-01'")
                                                                                            filtered_df.count()
                                                                                            The data engineer notices from the Query Profiler that the scan operator for filtered_df is reading almost all files, despite the filter being applied.
                                                                                            What is the probable reason for poor data skipping?

                                                                                            A) The filter is executed only after the full data scan, preventing data skipping.
                                                                                            B) The event_date column is outside the table's partitioning and Z-ordering scheme.
                                                                                            C) The filter condition involves a data type excluded from data skipping support.
                                                                                            D) The Delta table lacks optimization that enables dynamic file pruning.


                                                                                            5. A junior member of the data engineering team is exploring the language interoperability of Databricks notebooks. The intended outcome of the below code is to register a view of all sales that occurred in countries on the continent of Africa that appear in the geo_lookup table.
                                                                                            Before executing the code, running SHOW TABLES on the current database indicates the database contains only two tables: geo_lookup and sales.

                                                                                            Which statement correctly describes the outcome of executing these command cells in order in an interactive notebook?

                                                                                            A) Both commands will succeed. Executing show tables will show that countries at and sales at have been registered as views.
                                                                                            B) Cmd 1 will succeed and Cmd 2 will fail, countries at will be a Python variable representing a PySpark DataFrame.
                                                                                            C) Cmd 1 will succeed. Cmd 2 will search all accessible databases for a table or view named countries af: if this entity exists, Cmd 2 will succeed.
                                                                                            D) Both commands will fail. No new variables, tables, or views will be created.
                                                                                            E) Cmd 1 will succeed and Cmd 2 will fail, countries at will be a Python variable containing a list of strings.
