What libraries could be used for unit testing of the Spark code?

We need to add unit test cases for our code that we're writing using the Scala in Python. But we can't use the calls like `assertEqual` for comparing the content of DataFrames. Are any special libraries for that?

Resolved! If I create a shallow clone of a Delta table, then add data to the clone, where is that data stored?

Since a shallow clone only copies the metadata of the original table, I'm wondering where new data would end up. Is it even possible to add data to a shallow clone? Is the data written back to the original source file location?

The clone is not a replica and so updates made to the original delta table wouldn't be applies to the clone. However, shallow clones reference data files in the source directory. If you run vacuum on the source table, clients will no longer be able t...
