Databricks Certified Data Engineer Professional Sample Questions:

Question #1

A data engineering team uses Databricks Lakehouse Monitoring to track the percent_null metric for a critical column in their Delta table.
The profile metrics table (prod_catalog.prod_schema.customer_data_profile_metrics) stores hourly percent_null values.
The team wants to:
Trigger an alert when the daily average of percent_null exceeds 5% for
three consecutive days.
Ensure that notifications are not spammed during sustained issues.

A. WITH daily_avg AS (
SELECT DATE_TRUNC('DAY', window.end) AS day,
AVG(percent_null) AS avg_null
FROM prod_catalog.prod_schema.customer_data_profile_metrics
GROUP BY DATE_TRUNC('DAY', window.end)
)
SELECT day, avg_null
FROM daily_avg
ORDER BY day DESC
LIMIT 3
Alert Condition: ALL avg_null > 5 for the latest 3 rows
Notification Frequency: Just once
B. SELECT AVG(percent_null) AS daily_avg
FROM prod_catalog.prod_schema.customer_data_profile_metrics
WHERE window.end >= CURRENT_TIMESTAMP - INTERVAL '3' DAY
Alert Condition: daily_avg > 5
Notification Frequency: Each time alert is evaluated
C. SELECT percent_null
FROM prod_catalog.prod_schema.customer_data_profile_metrics
WHERE window.end >= CURRENT_TIMESTAMP - INTERVAL '1' DAY
Alert Condition: percent_null > 5
Notification Frequency: At most every 24 hours
D. SELECT SUM(CASE WHEN percent_null > 5 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS violation_days FROM prod_catalog.prod_schema.customer_data_profile_metrics WHERE window.end >= CURRENT_TIMESTAMP - INTERVAL '3' DAY Alert Condition: violation_days >= 3 Notification Frequency: Just once
