Exam DBDEA Topics: jobs Difficulty: easy

A task in a production Lakeflow Job got stuck in an infinite loop over the weekend. Nobody was watching, and the job stayed in the running state for three days, holding compute and blocking downstream pipelines. The team wants a stuck run like this to be stopped and marked as failed automatically. What should they configure?

Options (Reading Mode) Click to filter discussion →
  1. A. Nothing — Lakeflow Jobs offer no timeout setting, so a stuck run must be detected and canceled manually
  2. B. The job cluster's auto-termination setting, which terminates compute that has been idle for the configured minutes
  3. C. A timeout on scheduled runs only, because runs started manually with Run now are allowed to run indefinitely
  4. D. A Timeout setting on the job or the task, so that exceeding the limit stops the run with a Timed Out status
