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?
The VACUUM command in Delta Lake is used to clean up and remove unnecessary data files that are no longer needed for time travel or query purposes. When you run VACUUM with certain retention settings, it can delete older data files, which might include versions of data that are older than the specified retention period. If the data engineer is unable to restore the table to a version that is 3 days old because the data files have been deleted, it is likely because the VACUUM command was run on the table, removing the older data files as part of data cleanup.
There is no DELETE HISTORY command in Databricks VACCUM command can remove history and we can also specify the retention period with VACCUM Command. Default Retention period is 7 days. To allow changing the default retention period you can rum the following command ALTER TABLE your_table SET TBLPROPERTIES ('delta.retentionDurationCheck.enabled' = 'true');
