Question 260
A logistics vendor writes tens of thousands of small files per hour. The change record shows Make downstream transformations order-independent or sequence by event metadata. The acceptance test concerns: A file-notification source reports files out of original creation order. Which outcome confirms it?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Out-of-order arrivals produce correct logical records is the matching outcome for the implemented control (Make downstream transformations order-independent or sequence by event metadata) and the stated requirement “A file-notification source reports files out of original creation order.”
Incorrect Answers
Files are discovered through events without a costly whole-container listing pertains to a different control (Choose supported Auto Loader file-event notification mode) and a different need (The source container has high object count and low-latency event-based discovery is required). It cannot establish that Make downstream transformations order-independent or sequence by event metadata met the stated goal.
Each target advances only for its own discovered files would demonstrate the separate action Assign separate source path and stream checkpoint to each ingestion stream, which addresses “Two independent source directories feed two different bronze tables.” It does not verify the requirement “A file-notification source reports files out of original creation order” following Make downstream transformations order-independent or sequence by event metadata.
Subsequent arrivals are discovered without replaying committed input pertains to a different control (Preserve the query checkpoint while switching to supported notification mode) and a different need (The team changes from directory listing to file notifications midstream). It cannot establish that Make downstream transformations order-independent or sequence by event metadata met the stated goal.
