Hello,Is there any plan to support the equivalent of fabric semantic-link on Databricks? Essentially, having the ability to query PowerBi Dataset using SQL on interactive/jobs cluster and SQL warehouse (i.e a Unity Catalog federated source being Powe...

Hello,I started testing Unity catalog and was surprised by the following mention in the documentation about shared clusters not supporting third-party1 libraries. Nevertheless, I tried doing imports and using pip install and both were working correct...

What are the best practices when using DLT with a unity catalog aware workspace since it is not supported at the moment?Do you create a copy of every table you need in the hive metastore in order to reference them? Or is it recommended to wait until ...

Hello,Before Unity catalog, we were able to rename spark files to a single file (ex: accounts.csv instead of part001) using mounts with pandas or dbutils.fs. How can we achieve the same today without mounts? Is it possible to use external locations w...

Thanks for the quick answer Hubert.We currently have workspace object access control enabled on our workspace. Although, we can use it to add ACL on workspaces ACL folders that store notebooks, we haven't seen anyway to secure DBFS root itself.Are th...

Indeed, there isn't much missing to meet our security requirements. In our case, the Hive is also our weak spot. Fortunately, interactive (credential passthrough) are contained in a different workspace so there is no impact on our "jobs" if somebody ...

We had the same issue and never could find any combination that satisfied our needs.We had to separate the use cases in 2 different workspaces as mention here:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-adoption-framework/scenarios/data-management/b...

@Bilal Aslam In my case, it usually depends on the customers and their SLA. Most of them usually do not have a "true" high SLA requirement thus prefer the jobs to be throttled when the actual cost is within a certain range of the budget instead of ...

Hi @Bilal Aslam Serverless clusters would definitely help regarding the speed required for the small jobs of most of my clients.That being said, most of these clients requires calculating the "worst case" for most technologies when presenting a busi...
