Databricks Certified Data Engineer Associate — Question 144
A data engineer has a Job that has a complex run schedule, and they want to transfer that schedule to other Jobs.
Rather than manually selecting each value in the scheduling form in Databricks, which of the following tools can the data engineer use to represent and submit the schedule programmatically?
Answer options
- A. pyspark.sql.types.DateType
- B. datetime
- C. pyspark.sql.types.TimestampType
- D. Cron syntax
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is D, as Cron syntax is specifically designed for defining job schedules in a concise and programmatic manner. The other options, such as pyspark.sql.types.DateType, datetime, and pyspark.sql.types.TimestampType, are types related to date and time representations but do not provide a scheduling capability.
