DATABRICKS-CERTIFIED-ASSOCIATE-DEVELOPER-FOR-APACHE-SPARK sample questions

2 questions from the DATABRICKS-CERTIFIED-ASSOCIATE-DEVELOPER-FOR-APACHE-SPARK practice set, with the answer and explanation.

  1. Question 1
    A PySpark application runs in cluster mode. Which component runs the main application code and coordinates the tasks across executors?
    • A.
      The driver program
    • B.
      The executor JVM
    • C.
      The cluster manager's master node only
    • D.
      The shuffle service on each worker
    Show answer

    Correct answer:

    • A.
      The driver program

    Explanation

    The driver hosts the SparkSession, builds the DAG, schedules stages and tasks, and collects results. Executors are the tempting distractor, since they do the work, but they run only the tasks assigned to them. The cluster manager allocates resources, and the shuffle service serves shuffle files to other executors.
  2. Question 2
    A DataFrame is immutable, so a transformation such as withColumn returns a new DataFrame and leaves the original unchanged.
    • A.
      True
    • B.
      False
    Show answer

    Correct answer:

    • A.
      True

    Explanation

    DataFrames are immutable, and transformations return a new DataFrame with the change applied while the original stays the same. The statement is true. The tempting misreading is that withColumn updates the original variable in place, which only happens when the result is assigned back to the same name.
