Exam DBDEA Topics: troubleshooting Difficulty: medium

A nightly Lakeflow Job with six tasks failed at `transform_customers` (task 4) because a partner delivered a malformed file. Tasks 1-3 succeeded, and tasks 5-6 were skipped. The partner has now re-delivered a corrected file, and the team wants tonight's data finished as quickly as possible without recomputing work that already succeeded. What should the team do?

  1. A. Trigger a brand-new run of the job and let it recompute tasks 1 through 6 from scratch
  2. B. Run the transform_customers notebook manually on an all-purpose cluster, copy the resulting tables into place, and then trigger a new run
  3. C. Re-run the failed run with repair — it re-runs the failed task and its dependents, preserving succeeded tasks
  4. D. Delete the failed run so that the job's next scheduled trigger retries the full pipeline automatically
