Need Labs Access for Data Engineering Learning Plan

VijayRam — Sat, 27 Jun 2026 12:03:15 GMT

I am currently going through the Data Engineering Learning Plan. As I progress through the course, I noticed that it refers to labs, but I'm not sure where I can find or access them.

It would be very helpful if someone could guide me on how to access these labs.

What does 50% even mean?

Steve_Lyle_BPCS — Thu, 30 Apr 2026 14:10:29 GMT

What's even being measured? What is the data? What got me to 50% on the path to what target? What's it take to get to 100%? What is the story this is telling?
This is "THE" data & analytics company isn't it? Cobbler's kids situation?

Most appropriate way to re-highlight a post on Databricks Community?

ChristianRRL — Mon, 04 May 2026 16:10:56 GMT

Hi there, wasn't really sure what the best way/place to post this. Please feel free to give me feedback on how to best do this in the future!

I posted a topic on Friday, and I think since it was right before the weekend my post may have been buried. Normally what would be the best way to bring attention to a post that hasn't been reviewed yet?

Passkey lockout

Danny2 — Tue, 03 Mar 2026 02:53:13 GMT

Hi there,

I am locked out of my account - https://community.databricks.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/99755 - due to adding a passkey improperly.

The reset passkey doesnt work and I submitted a request 00859868 but the service rep is saying they cannot find my email address. Can someone help me clear this passkey issue? I was trying to update my email address to a personal one, because I recently volunteered to organize a usergroup and wanted to get the notifications away from my work email. The user group is https://usergroups.databricks.com/queens-new-york-databricks-user-group/

Thanks,

Danny

What challenges do developers face when building a scalable Food Donation App platform?

jameswood32 — Tue, 17 Mar 2026 11:44:49 GMT

Building a scalable Food Donation App platform comes with several technical and operational challenges. Developers must design a system that can efficiently connect donors, volunteers, NGOs, and recipients while handling real-time updates for food availability and pickups. Ensuring food safety tracking, accurate location-based matching, and timely notifications can be complex when the number of users grows. Another challenge is building a reliable backend that supports high traffic, secure data management, and smooth integrations with maps, payment gateways, or third-party services. Developers also need to focus on user-friendly design to encourage participation. What technologies, architectures, or strategies do you think can help overcome these challenges and ensure the platform scales effectively?

I hope you are doing well.

I would like to contribute and publish a technical blog on the Databricks Community portal. However, I am not sure about the process and appropriate platform. I would appreciate your guidance on where to start, the submission process, and any recommended topics or guidelines to follow.

Thank you for your time and support.

Databricks Community - Can't post images and other quality degradations

ChristianRRL — Tue, 03 Mar 2026 19:32:31 GMT

Hi there, has anyone noticed recent (at least as of last week but possibly longer) changes to Databricks Community posts? Here are some very limited examples of what I've noticed:

Can't paste images anymore (am trying to paste here but shows as blank)
Inconsistent formatting. Almost feels like I'm dealing with quirky Word/SharePoint/HTML formatting issues
- Bullet points sometimes inconsistent
- Tabs sometimes inconsistent

Scroll bar for Tags

Danny_Lee — Thu, 19 Feb 2026 23:39:32 GMT

Hi there,

I noticed in the data engineering forum there's a list of Labels on the sidebar, but it does not appear to have a scrollbar - is this the full list of Labels and that's why it doesn't scroll? Or, is this possibly a bug?

The reason I was trying scroll was because I wanted to search for "Asset Bundles" or "DAB" and noticed there was no way to scroll.

Thanks,

Danny

merge of 2 databricks community accounts

bianca_unifeye — Thu, 29 Jan 2026 16:21:58 GMT

Hi everyone,
I currently have two accounts: a personal account where I hold the MVP badge, and a company account that I’ve actively used to contribute here.
I tried updating the bianca_unifeye account to use my personal email address, but the system indicates that an account already exists with that email and advises me to contact the system administrator.
Is there a way to merge these two accounts without losing the MVP status on my personal account? I’d like to be able to post unnder the MVP articles section while also retaining my contributor rank and contribution history.
Thanks in advance for any guidance!
Bianca

Not getting email about posted resonse?

RIDBX — Wed, 26 Nov 2025 20:40:53 GMT

Thanks for weighing in.

I have a setting to receive an email, whenever response posted to my thread. It looks like it not working as desired.

I sent email to support email, no response from them.

Is this an issue only for me or all in this community face the same?

Thanks.

Numpy performance on different clusters

Maximus1 — Fri, 24 Oct 2025 13:12:31 GMT

I've been running some performance tests with Databricks, but I am struggling to make sense of the results.

def g(a, b): N = 1000 t1 = time.time() for _ in range(N): a**5 + 2 * b t2 = time.time() return (t2 - t1) / N a = np.random.rand(2**24) b = np.random.rand(2**24)

Evaluating g(a, b) returns around 0.15 on a modest "Standard_D8ds_v5" cluster with 8 cores on the driver, while it return around 0.61 on a powerful "Standard_E32_v3" with 32 cores on the driver. In other words, the same calculation takes around 4 times longer on the powerful cluster.

Considering that Numpy uses BLAS, which is supposed to bypass Python's GIL lock, I am struggling to find an explanation for what I am seeing.

Can somebody makes sense of this and suggest a way to improve the performance on the powerful cluster?

PS I am aware that I could distribute the work in the loop of my function over multiple workers, using a tool like Ray Clusters, but that is not what I am after here.

Help to get the swags for the event.

Devanshu — Thu, 28 Aug 2025 12:32:14 GMT

Hello Team,

I am hosting my first event on 13th September. The date is final, but the venue is something I am working on, as I am not creating the event. I'll be able to create it within a day or two.

Could you please help me understand how to order the swags for the event and how to provide the audience with access to the resources?

Looking forward to the ASAP response.

Incorrectly blocking posts on Databricks Community containing specific words

BS_THE_ANALYST — Sun, 24 Aug 2025 10:57:24 GMT

Hi,

I keep finding myself being blocked from posting if certain words are used: For instance,

-> F_r_u_i_t -> G_a_m_e

I'm slightly concerned that the existing list of blocked words probably hasn't been reviewed? It's not scalable to submit every word that is blocked and get it added to an exceptions list.

Can a community moderator (or appropriate person) review the list of blocked words please.

All the best,
BS
