Question 760
A regulated data pipeline must meet customer erasure and audit retention obligations. Following Use Delta-supported transactional deletion and verified physical cleanup, the incident team needs evidence that An analyst suggests overwriting Parquet files directly to purge Delta rows. Which observation supports closure?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The Delta log remains consistent and erasure is reflected in queries directly measures whether Use Delta-supported transactional deletion and verified physical cleanup achieved the requirement “An analyst suggests overwriting Parquet files directly to purge Delta rows.” It checks the operating result rather than just a configured resource name.
Incorrect Answers
Rows older than the approved retention period are no longer queryable would demonstrate the separate action Implement a scheduled retention filter and controlled deletion operation, which addresses “A policy requires deleting raw PII after a specified retention age.” It does not verify the requirement “An analyst suggests overwriting Parquet files directly to purge Delta rows” following Use Delta-supported transactional deletion and verified physical cleanup.
That observation is a valid indicator for “A verified deletion request targets one customer's personal rows in an active Delta table” when using Apply a scoped transactional DELETE or supported erasure operation. The scenario instead tests “An analyst suggests overwriting Parquet files directly to purge Delta rows”; the relevant result is The Delta log remains consistent and erasure is reflected in queries.
This signal belongs to the adjacent case “An erasure request requires removal from historical physical files after a compliant retention process,” whose remedy is Perform supported data rewrites and retention-safe vacuum/purge as required. The observed result for the present requirement is The Delta log remains consistent and erasure is reflected in queries.
