Exam DBDEA Topics: jobs Difficulty: hard

A Lakeflow Job runs ingest, transform, and publish as a linear chain. The team must add an alerting task that runs only when the ingest task fails — it must never run when the pipeline succeeds. The alerting code is ready; only the task's wiring is missing. How should the alerting task be wired into the job?

Options (Reading Mode) Click to filter discussion →
  1. A. Depends on ingest with the Run if condition All failed, so it runs only when ingest has failed
  2. B. No dependencies — it runs in every run, queries the previous run's outcome through the API, and exits early on success
  3. C. Depends on publish with the default Run if condition, closing the chain after every successful run
  4. D. A second, identical job that contains only the alerting task and is triggered by hand when the first job fails
