No, currently it's not configurable. Synching of notebooks to Git repositories is configurable and can be turned off at the workspace level.

Usage of spark.stop(), sc.stop() , System.exit() in your application can cause this behavior. Databricks manages the context shutdown on its own. Forcefully closing it can cause this abrupt behavior.

Compared to OSS Spark, these are few things the users don't have to worry about when running the same job on Databricks. Memory management: Databricks use an internal formula to allocate the Driver and executor heap based on the size of the instance....

Although not a hard limit, it's recommended to keep the number of cells in the notebook less than 100 for better UI experience as well as code readability. Having a really large block of code in a cell defeats the purpose of notebook execution and al...

I vouch for Sajith's answer. The main advantage with "CONVERT TO DELTA" is that operations are metadata centric which means we are not reading the full data for the conversion. For any other file format conversion, it's necessary to read the data com...

That makes sense @Anand Ladda​ ! One major improvement that will have a direct impact on the performance is the architectural difference. S3-SQS uses an internal implementation of the Delta table to store the checkpoint details about the source files...

While you can try-catch-retry , it would be expensive to retry as the underlying table snapshot would have changed. So the best approach is to avoid conflicts using partitioning and disjoint command conditions as much as possible.

Its typically a good idea to run optimize aligned with the frequency of updates to the Delta Table. However you also don't want to over do as there's a cost/performance trade-off. Unless there are very frequent updates to the table that can cause sma...

Z-ordering is generally effective on up to 3-4 columns and New clustering algorithm in DBR 7.6 can even go upto 5 columns. However, the key is to Z-order on columns that are typically used in filters/where predicates and joins.
