I'm exploring the DLT with AutoLoader feature and wondering where are the schema and checkpoint hide? I want to wipe these two to reset/reinitialize the flow but unlike the "regular" AutoLoader the checkpoint and schema folder are not there.
I still can't find the place where the generated schema stored, but the initial problem is resolved by "Full Refresh" feature of DLT's job. So, I guess I'm ok.
@Alexander Pleplerโ , There is a storage option in pipeline settings - A path to a DBFS directory for storing checkpoints and tables created by the pipeline.
Additionally, delta is registered in metastore, so the table schema is there.

Thanks.
