Databricks Certified Data Engineer Associate — Question 110

In which of the following scenarios should a data engineer select a Task in the Depends On field of a new Databricks Job Task?

Answer options

• A. When another task needs to be replaced by the new task
• B. When another task needs to successfully complete before the new task begins
• C. When another task has the same dependency libraries as the new task
• D. When another task needs to use as little compute resources as possible

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the Depends On field is specifically designed to ensure that certain tasks are completed before the new task can begin. The other options do not accurately reflect the purpose of the Depends On field, as they address replacement, shared libraries, and resource usage rather than task completion dependencies.
