We created a library in databricks to ingest ganglia metrics for all jobs in our delta tables;However end point 8652 is no more available on DBR 13.0is there any other endpoint available ? since we need to log all metrics for all executed jobs not on...
I'm trying to find the best strategy for handling big data sets. In this case I have something that is 450 million records. I'm pulling the data from SQL Server very quickly but when I try to push the data to the Delta Table OR a Azure Container the...
Let's say I create a table like CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS new_db.data_table (
key STRING,
value STRING,
last_updated_time TIMESTAMP
) USING DELTA LOCATION 's3://......';Now when I insert into this table I insert data which has say 20 columns a...
I tried running "REFRESH TABLE tablename;" but I still do not see the added columns in the data explorer columns, while I do see the added columns in the sample data
We are looking into enabling Predictive IO on our delta tables. In the ingest process we are using autoloader and I am wondering if autoloader will gett a flag to enable deletion vectors at table creation? Deletion vectors is a requirement for Predic...
Hi,I`m creating some views to be queried by PowerBI. In our delta tables we have a column called database name which contains the source systems database name. What I`m doing is using this to filter data WHERE databaseName = current_database(). No...
When using Delta tables with DBR jobs or even with DLT pipelines, the upserts (especially updates) (on key and timestamp) are taking quite higher than expected time to update the files/tables data (~2 mins for even 1 record poll) (Inserts are lightni...

I know delta tables are supporting the ACID properties and my understanding is Merge, Insert, delete, etc. are inside a transaction by default and if any error occurred during these operations, that transaction will be roll backed. I hope this unders...
@Thushar R Yes you are right. As Delta table is keeping a transaction log and maintain version history of your data, it can easily roll back your transaction in case of a failure -> i.e. Once transaction in successfully committed, that is when the ...

Hello @Ovidiu Eremia ,To filter which folders on S3 contain Delta tables, you can look for the specific files that are associated with Delta tables. Delta Lake stores its metadata in a hidden folder named _delta_log, which is located at the root of ...

I would like to connect to the Delta tables I have created with PowerBI to use for reporting. Is it possible to do this with Databricks or do I have to write my data to some other serving layer?
if you want to read your Delta Lake table directly from the storage without the need of having a Databricks cluster up and running you can also use the official connector Power BI connector for Delta Lake https://github.com/delta-io/connectors/tree/m...
