Databricks Intermediate Guide 1.

Cluster Management- Choose cluster types: All-Purpose vs


Job Clusters.- Autoscaling: Automatically adjusts worker count based on workload.- Spot
Instances: Reduce cost by using preemptible nodes (may terminate anytime).- Termination
Settings: Set idle timeout to avoid unnecessary costs. 2. Optimizing Spark Jobs- Use
DataFrame API over RDD for optimization.- Cache & Persist frequently used DataFrames.-
Repartition data for better parallelism: df = df.repartition(8)- Use broadcast joins for small
datasets: from pyspark.sql.functions import broadcast df.join(broadcast(small_df), "id") 3.
Delta Lake Advanced Features- Time Travel:
spark.read.format("delta").option("versionAsOf", 2).load("/delta/table")- Schema Evolution:
df.write.option("mergeSchema",
"true").format("delta").mode("append").save("/delta/table")- Vacuum for cleanup: VACUUM
delta.`/delta/table` RETAIN 168 HOURS; 4. Autoloader for Incremental Ingestion- Ingest new
files automatically from cloud storage. df =
(spark.readStream.format("cloudFiles") .option("cloudFiles.format", "csv")
.load("/mnt/data")) 5. Managing Tables & Metadata- Managed Tables: Databricks controls
storage location.- External Tables: You specify storage path.- Use 'DESCRIBE HISTORY' for
audit trail on Delta tables. 6. Jobs & Task Orchestration- Use multi-task jobs for complex
pipelines.- Pass data between tasks using dbutils.jobs.taskValues. - Set job clusters for cost
efficiency. 7. Integration with External Tools- Power BI/Tableau for BI visualization.- MLflow
for model tracking and deployment.- REST API for automation. 8. Security & Governance-
Use Secret Scopes for credentials.- Implement Table ACLs for data access control.- Unity
Catalog for centralized data governance. 9. Performance Tuning Tips- Avoid shuffling large
datasets unnecessarily.- Use Delta caching to speed up queries.- Use Z-Ordering to optimize
read performance.- Monitor jobs using Spark UI for bottlenecks. 10. Common Utilities-
dbutils.fs: File system commands.- dbutils.widgets: Parameters for reusable notebooks.-
dbutils.secrets: Securely fetch secrets.- %pip install: Add Python packages.
