Question 880
A complex Lakeflow Job has ten tasks, and one downstream branch fails after several others succeed. A reviewer sees that engineers chose Repair the critical branch and explicitly defer independent noncritical branches. To verify A workflow has several independent failed branches and only one business-critical branch needs immediate recovery, what should the reviewer observe?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The team used Repair the critical branch and explicitly defer independent noncritical branches to fulfill “A workflow has several independent failed branches and only one business-critical branch needs immediate recovery.” Observing The critical output is restored without claiming the other failures are fixed confirms the intended effect in the resulting workload.
Incorrect Answers
That observation is a valid indicator for “A deterministic invalid-data failure will recur on automatic retry” when using Correct or quarantine the bad input before initiating a targeted repair. The scenario instead tests “A workflow has several independent failed branches and only one business-critical branch needs immediate recovery”; the relevant result is The critical output is restored without claiming the other failures are fixed.
The complete dependency path executes and produces valid outputs pertains to a different control (Include the required dependent tasks in the repair plan) and a different need (A repair attempt fails because a downstream dependency was not included). It cannot establish that Repair the critical branch and explicitly defer independent noncritical branches met the stated goal.
Only required failed/downstream tasks rerun while upstream results are reused would demonstrate the separate action Use a supported repair run targeting failed tasks and dependencies, which addresses “A downstream task failed while upstream outputs are valid and should not be rerun unnecessarily.” It does not verify the requirement “A workflow has several independent failed branches and only one business-critical branch needs immediate recovery” following Repair the critical branch and explicitly defer independent noncritical branches.
