A data engineer runs a statement every day to copy the previous day's sales into the table transactions. Each day's sales are in their own file in the location "/transactions/raw".
Today, the data engineer runs the following command to complete this task:
After running the command today, the data engineer notices that the number of records in table transactions has not changed.
Which of the following describes why the statement might not have copied any new records into the table?
dbfs:/user/hive/warehouse Thereby showing 'dbfs:/user/hive/warehouse/customer360.db
The location of the customer360 database depends on the value of thespark.sql.warehouse.dirconfiguration property, which specifies the default location for managed databases and tables. If the property is not set, the default value isdbfs:/user/hive/warehouse. Therefore, the customer360 database will be located indbfs:/user/hive/warehouse/customer360.db. However, if the property is set to a different value, such asdbfs:/user/hive/database, then the customer360 database will be located indbfs:/user/hive/database/customer360.db. Thus, more information is needed to determine the correct response.
Option A is not correct, asdbfs:/user/hive/database/customer360is not the default location for managed databases and tables, unless thespark.sql.warehouse.dirproperty is explicitly set todbfs:/user/hive/database.
Option B is not correct, asdbfs:/user/hive/warehouseis the default location for the root directory of managed databases and tables, not for a specific database. The database name should be appended with.dbto the directory path, such asdbfs:/user/hive/warehouse/customer360.db.
Option C is not correct, asdbfs:/user/hive/customer360is not a valid location for a managed database, as it does not follow the directory structure specified by thespark.sql.warehouse.dirproperty.
