Actual exam question for Databricks's Databricks-Certified-Data-Engineer-Professional exam
Question #: 114
Topic #: 1
A data engineering team has a time-consuming data ingestion job with three data sources. Each notebook takes about one hour to load new data. One day, the job fails because a notebook update introduced a new required configuration parameter. The team must quickly fix the issue and load the latest data from the failing source. Which action should the team take?

Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer

The repair run capability in Databricks Jobs allows re-execution of failed tasks without re-running successful ones. When a parameterized job fails due to missing or incorrect task configuration, engineers can perform a repair run to fix inputs or parameters and resume from the failed state.
This approach saves time, reduces cost, and ensures workflow continuity by avoiding unnecessary recomputation. Additionally, updating the task definition with the missing parameter prevents future runs from failing.
Running the job manually (B) loses run context; (C) alone does not prevent recurrence; (D) delays resolution. Thus, A follows the correct operational and recovery practice.
