A data engineer has realized that they made a mistake when making a daily update to a table. They need to use Delta time travel to restore the table to a version that is 3 days old. However, when the data engineer attempts to time travel to the older version, they are unable to restore the data because the data files have been deleted.

Which of the following explains why the data files are no longer present?

  1. The VACUUM command was run on the table
  2. The TIME TRAVEL command was run on the table
  3. The DELETE HISTORY command was run on the table
  4. The OPTIMIZE command was nun on the table
  5. The HISTORY command was run on the table

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The most likely reason why the data files are no longer present when the data engineer attempts to time travel to an older version of a Delta table is that the VACUUM command was run on the table. The VACUUM command removes files that are no longer in use by the Delta table, including files that are required for time travel. Therefore, if the VACUUM command is run on a Delta table, it can make it impossible to use time travel to recover older versions of the table.

Which of the following data lakehouse features results in improved data quality over a traditional data lake?

  1. A data lakehouse provides storage solutions for structured and unstructured data.
  2. A data lakehouse supports ACID-compliant transactions.
  3. A data lakehouse allows the use of SQL queries to examine data.
  4. A data lakehouse stores data in open formats.
  5. A data lakehouse enables machine learning and artificial Intelligence workloads.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

ACID-compliant transactions ensure that data is consistent, reliable, and accurate. By supporting ACID transactions, a data lakehouse can provide improved data quality over a traditional data lake. This is because ACID transactions guarantee that updates to the data are either completed in their entirety or not at all, reducing the risk of data corruption or errors.
