A user new to Databricks is trying to troubleshoot long execution times for some pipeline logic they are working on. Presently, the user is executing code cell-by-cell, using display() calls to confirm code is producing the logically correct results as new transformations are added to an operation. To get a measure of average time to execute, the user is running each cell multiple times interactively. Which of the following adjustments will get a more accurate measure of how code is likely to perform in production?
Correct Answer: D
This is the correct answer because it explains which of the following adjustments will get a more accurate measure of how code is likely to perform in production. The adjustment is that calling display() forces a job to trigger, while many transformations will only add to the logical query plan; because of caching, repeated execution of the same logic does not provide meaningful results. When developing code in Databricks notebooks, one should be aware of how Spark handles transformations and actions. Transformations are operations that create a new DataFrame or Dataset from an existing one, such as filter, select, or join. Actions are operations that trigger a computation on a DataFrame or Dataset and return a result to the driver program or write it to storage, such as count, show, or save. Calling display() on a DataFrame or Dataset is also an action that triggers a computation and displays the result in a notebook cell. Spark uses lazy evaluation for transformations, which means that they are not executed until an action is called. Spark also uses caching to store intermediate results in memory or disk for faster access in subsequent actions. Therefore, calling display() forces a job to trigger, while many transformations will only add to the logical query plan; because of caching, repeated execution of the same logic does not provide meaningful results. To get a more accurate measure of how code is likely to perform in production, one should avoid calling display() too often or clear the cache before running each cell.
