Databricks Exam Databricks-Certified-Data-Engineer-Associate Topic 5 Question 38 Discussion

Actual exam question for Databricks's Databricks-Certified-Data-Engineer-Associate exam
Question #: 38
Topic #: 5
[All Databricks-Certified-Data-Engineer-Associate Questions]

A Delta Live Table pipeline includes two datasets defined using streaming live table. Three datasets are defined against Delta Lake table sources using live table.

The table is configured to run in Production mode using the Continuous Pipeline Mode.

What is the expected outcome after clicking Start to update the pipeline assuming previously unprocessed data exists and all definitions are valid?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

In Delta Live Tables (DLT), when configured to run in Continuous Pipeline Mode, particularly in a production environment, the system is designed to continuously process and update data as it becomes available. This mode keeps the compute resources active to handle ongoing data processing and automatically updates all datasets defined in the pipeline at predefined intervals. Once the pipeline is manually stopped, the compute resources are terminated to conserve resources and reduce costs. This mode is suitable for production environments where datasets need to be kept up-to-date with the latest data.

Is it just me, or does this question sound like a riddle from a tech-savvy sphinx? 'What updates the datasets, shuts down, and yet persists?' Hmm...

D) All datasets will be updated at set intervals until the pipeline is shut down. The compute resources will be deployed for the update and terminated when the pipeline is stopped.

C) All datasets will be updated once and the pipeline will shut down. The compute resources will persist to allow for additional testing.

D seems like the most logical answer to me. Updating the datasets at intervals and deploying the compute resources only when needed makes the most sense.

Haha, I'm going with C. I just love the idea of the pipeline shutting down after a single update, like it's tired of working and just wants to take a nap.

The correct answer is D. The pipeline will update the datasets at set intervals until it's shut down, and the compute resources will be deployed for the update and terminated when the pipeline is stopped.

This is a tough one, but I think I'll go with D. Gotta love those on-demand compute resources, am I right? *winks*

Hmm, I'm not sure. Probably B or D, but I'm leaning towards D. Seems more logical that the compute resources would be tied to the updates.

C looks good to me. The datasets will be updated once and the pipeline will shut down, but the compute resources will stick around for more testing.
