Exam DBDEA Topics: jobs Difficulty: medium

A team is migrating an old ETL process to Lakeflow Jobs. Today one long notebook chains five processing stages with %run: each stage calls the next notebook, everything shares a single execution, and a failure in stage three means rerunning the whole chain the next morning. What is the main benefit of rebuilding this chain as separate notebook tasks in one job?

Options (Reading Mode) Click to filter discussion →
  1. A. The ability to keep a single shared execution, since chained %run notebooks are the recommended pattern for production
  2. B. The ability to keep the %run chain, because jobs cannot run notebooks as separate tasks
  3. C. The ability to retry, monitor, and branch each stage independently, and rerun only the failed stage
  4. D. The ability to preserve %run behavior exactly, with less configuration to maintain than separate tasks

Correct answer: The ability to retry, monitor, and branch each stage independently, and rerun only the failed stage
