Question 2
Vendor invoices land as PDFs in an S3 prefix that a third-party SaaS already populates outside Databricks. The pipeline must list those files at /Volumes/acme/bronze/invoices/ from a notebook, with access enforced through standard GRANT statements rather than IAM policy edits, and without copying any files. Which object satisfies the requirement?
Question 3
Teams that need an incremental SQL load from cloud storage with file deduplication tracked in the target Delta transaction log should reach for which primitive?
Question 4
SaaS sources delivering about 80,000 paginated REST responses per hour with a 30-minute freshness target must land in bronze. A Lakeflow Connect standard connector covers the source. The platform team values low maintenance, source-to-bronze lineage in Catalog Explorer, and the lowest operational cost among the choices. Which option meets all four constraints?
Question 5
During a join between a 3 TB fact table and a 75 MB dimension table, the Spark UI shows a SortMergeJoin shuffling the fact across the cluster. Stage time has grown beyond the SLA window. Which single change preserves correctness while skipping the shuffle on the fact side?
