Question 30

Which of the following tools is used by Auto Loader process data incrementally?

    Correct Answer: A

    The tool used by Auto Loader to process data incrementally is Checkpointing. Checkpointing allows Auto Loader to keep track of which data has been processed, enabling it to continue processing from where it left off in case of any interruptions. This ensures data is processed exactly once and helps in fault tolerance by storing the state in a logical storage, allowing restart from the last checkpoint.

Discussion
XiltroXOption: B

B is the correct answer. Checkpointing is a method that is part of structured streaming.

RBKasemodelOption: A

The answer should be A. Auto Loader is used by Structured Streaming to process data incrementaly, not the other way around.

vctrhugoOption: B

B. Spark Structured Streaming The Auto Loader process in Databricks is typically used in conjunction with Spark Structured Streaming to process data incrementally. Spark Structured Streaming is a real-time data processing framework that allows you to process data streams incrementally as new data arrives. The Auto Loader is a feature in Databricks that works with Structured Streaming to automatically detect and process new data files as they are added to a specified data source location. It allows for incremental data processing without the need for manual intervention.

AtnafuOption: B

B Auto Loader uses Spark Structured Streaming to process data incrementally. Spark Structured Streaming is a streaming engine that can be used to process data as it arrives. This makes it ideal for processing data that is being generated in real time. Option A: Checkpointing is a technique used to ensure that data is not lost in case of a failure. It is not used to process data incrementally. Option C: Data Explorer is a data exploration tool that can be used to explore data. It is not used to process data incrementally. Option D: Unity Catalog is a metadata management tool that can be used to store and manage metadata about data assets. It is not used to process data incrementally. Option E: Databricks SQL is a SQL engine that can be used to query data. It is not used to process data incrementally.

akk_1289Option: A

ans:A How does Auto Loader track ingestion progress? As files are discovered, their metadata is persisted in a scalable key-value store (RocksDB) in the checkpoint location of your Auto Loader pipeline. This key-value store ensures that data is processed exactly once. In case of failures, Auto Loader can resume from where it left off by information stored in the checkpoint location and continue to provide exactly-once guarantees when writing data into Delta Lake. You don’t need to maintain or manage any state yourself to achieve fault tolerance or exactly-once semantics. https://docs.databricks.com/ingestion/auto-loader/index.html
