Exam DBDEA Topics: jobs Difficulty: hard

A Lakeflow Job has task retries configured. The on-call data engineer notices that when a task fails on its first attempt but succeeds on a retry, no notification is ever sent — the team learns about these incidents later, from downstream consumers. They want to be notified after every failed task attempt, including attempts that will be retried. What should they change?
