Trying to write my dataframe out as a tab separated .txt file but getting an error

When I try to save my file I getorg.apache.spark.sql.AnalysisException: Text data source supports only a single column, and you have 2 columns.; Is there any way to save a dataframe with more than one column to a .txt file?

Would pyspark.sql.DataFrameWriter.csv work? You could specify the separator (sep) as tabdf.write.csv(os.path.join(tempfile.mkdtemp(), 'data'))

Is there a way so set DBU or cost limits so I don't get an unexpected bill?

I'm wondering if there's a way to set a monthly budget and have my workloads stop running if I hit it.

You cant save a dataframe without specifying a location. If you are using saveAsTable API then the table will be created in the hive warehouse location. The default location is user.hive.warehouse

Why would I make a deep clone of a Delta table vs reading the table and writing a copy to a new location?

It seems like with both techniques I would end up with a copy of my table. Trying to understand when I should be using a deep clone.

A deep clone is recommended way as it holds the history of the table. Also, the DEEP clone is faster than the read-write approach.

I have a table that I need to be continuously streaming into. I know it's best practice to run Optimize on my tables periodically. But if I never stop writing to the table, how and when can I run OPTIMIZE against it?

If the streaming job is making bling appends to the delta table, then it's perfectly fine to run OPTIMIZE query in parallel.However, if the streaming job is performing MERGE or UPDATE then it can conflict with the OPTIMIZE operations. In such cases w...
