Actual exam question from Databricks's Certified Data Engineer Professional
Question #: 58
Topic #: 1
[All Certified Data Engineer Professional Questions]

A Databricks job has been configured with 3 tasks, each of which is a Databricks notebook. Task A does not depend on other tasks. Tasks B and C run in parallel, with each having a serial dependency on task A.
If tasks A and B complete successfully but task C fails during a scheduled run, which statement describes the resulting state?

  • A. All logic expressed in the notebook associated with tasks A and B will have been successfully completed; some operations in task C may have completed successfully.
  • B. All logic expressed in the notebook associated with tasks A and B will have been successfully completed; any changes made in task C will be rolled back due to task failure.
  • C. All logic expressed in the notebook associated with task A will have been successfully completed; tasks B and C will not commit any changes because of stage failure.
  • D. Because all tasks are managed as a dependency graph, no changes will be committed to the Lakehouse until ail tasks have successfully been completed.
  • E. Unless all tasks complete successfully, no changes will be committed to the Lakehouse; because task C failed, all commits will be rolled back automatically.

Should be 'A' only, as ACID compliance is applicable at operation level. For example if task C is having 3 target delta table writes (in independent Notebook cells) then it could have after 1 write the task fails during 2nd write. In that case 1st write will still be persisted. The ACID compliance will be applicable for only the 2nd write.
