operational best practices on the Databricks Lakehouse Platform. + +--- + +## Data Modeling Best Practices + +### Star Schema vs Denormalization in the Lakehouse + +The Databricks Lakehouse fully supports dimensional modeling. Star schemas translate well to Delta tables and often deliver superior performance compared to fully denormalized approaches. + +**Star Schema (Dimensional Modeling):** +- Central fact table linked to multiple denormalized dimension tables +- Optimizes for complex analytics and multi-dimensional aggregations +- Provides intuitive business process mapping and scales well with SCDs +- Supports up to ~10 filtering dimensions (5 tables x 2 clustering keys each) +- Clear separation of concerns enables fine-grained governance + +**One Big Table (OBT):** +- Single wide table with all attributes pre-joined +- Eliminates joins, simpler governance (one table to manage) +- Liquid Clustering limited to 1-4 keys, so effective filtering is limited to 1-3 dimensions +- Full table scans become bottlenecks as data grows +- Lacks structured business process mapping +- Complicates fine-grained access controls and data quality checks + +**Key finding:** In benchmarks, dimensional models outperformed OBT (2.6s vs 3.5s) despite requiring joins, because fewer files needed to be scanned. However, with Liquid Clustering applied, OBT achieved >3x improvement (down to 1.13s). Both approaches achieve sub-500ms with automatic caching. + +**Recommended approach:** Use a hybrid medallion architecture: +- Silver layer: OBT or Data Vault for rapid integration and cleansing +- Gold layer: Star schema dimensional models as the curated, business-ready presentation layer for BI and reporting + +### When to Normalize vs Denormalize + +| Use Case | Approach | +|---|---| +| Gold layer for BI reporting | Star schema (denormalized dimensions, normalized facts) | +| Silver layer data integration | Normalized or Data Vault | +| Single-use IoT/logging analytics | OBT (filter by 1-3 dimensions) | +| Multi-dimensional business analysis | Star schema | +| Rapidly evolving schemas | OBT in Silver, star schema in Gold | +| High-cardinality filtering (5+ dimensions) | Star schema with Liquid Clustering per table | + +**Rule of thumb:** Dimension tables should be highly denormalized (flatten many-to-one relationships within a single dimension table). Fact tables should remain normalized at the grain of the business event. + +### Kimball-Style Modeling in Databricks + +Kimball dimensional modeling is the recommended approach for the Gold layer in the Lakehouse: + +1. **Identify the business process** (sales, orders, shipments) +2. **Declare the grain** (one row per transaction, per day, etc.) +3. **Choose dimensions** (who, what, where, when, why, how) +4. **Identify facts** (measurable numeric values at the declared grain) + +**Databricks-specific implementation details:** +- Use Unity Catalog for organizing dimensional models (catalog.schema.table) +- Define PRIMARY KEY constraints on dimension surrogate keys +- Define FOREIGN KEY constraints on fact table dimension keys for query optimization +- Add COMMENT on all tables and columns for discoverability +- Apply TAGS for governance (e.g., PII tagging) to enable downstream AI/BI capabilities +- Use `ANALYZE TABLE ... COMPUTE STATISTICS FOR COLUMNS` on dimension keys to support Adaptive Query Execution + +**Key principle:** "The better you model your data upfront, the more easily you can leverage AI on top of it out of the box." Proper schema design enables downstream AI/BI capabilities. + +### Fact Table Patterns + +**Design rules:** +- Store quantitative, numeric measures at the most granular transactional level +- Use DECIMAL instead of floating-point numbers for financial data +- Include foreign keys referencing dimension tables +- Include degenerate dimensions (source-system identifiers like order numbers) +- Transactional fact tables are typically not updated or versioned +- Cluster fact tables by foreign keys to frequently joined dimensions + +**Types of fact tables:** +- **Transaction facts:** One row per event (most common) +- **Periodic snapshot facts:** One row per entity per time period +- **Accumulating snapshot facts:** One row per entity lifecycle, updated as milestones are reached + +**Fact table Liquid Clustering strategy:** +```sql +CREATE TABLE gold.sales.fact_orders ( + order_key BIGINT GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY, + customer_key BIGINT NOT NULL, + product_key BIGINT NOT NULL, + date_key INT NOT NULL, + order_amount DECIMAL(18,2), + quantity INT, + CONSTRAINT fk_customer FOREIGN KEY (customer_key) REFERENCES gold.sales.dim_customer(customer_key), + CONSTRAINT fk_product FOREIGN KEY (product_key) REFERENCES gold.sales.dim_product(product_key) +) +CLUSTER BY (date_key, customer_key); +``` + +### Dimension Table Patterns + +**Design rules:** +- Use `GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY` or hash values for surrogate keys +- Prefer integer surrogate keys over strings for join performance +- Highly denormalize: flatten many-to-one relationships within a single dimension table +- Support complex types: MAP for extensibility, STRUCT for nested attributes, ARRAY for multi-valued attributes +- Avoid using ARRAY/MAP columns as filter predicates (they lack column-level statistics for data skipping) +- Cluster dimension tables by primary key plus common filter columns + +**Dimension table example:** +```sql +CREATE TABLE gold.sales.dim_customer ( + customer_key BIGINT GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY, + customer_id STRING NOT NULL COMMENT 'Natural key from source system', + full_name STRING, + email STRING, + city STRING, + state STRING, + country STRING, + segment STRING, + effective_start_date TIMESTAMP, + effective_end_date TIMESTAMP, + is_current BOOLEAN, + CONSTRAINT pk_customer PRIMARY KEY (customer_key) +) +CLUSTER BY (customer_key, segment) +COMMENT 'Customer dimension with SCD Type 2 history tracking'; +``` + +### Slowly Changing Dimensions (SCD) Patterns + +**SCD Type 1 (Overwrite):** +- In-place updates without tracking history +- Use MERGE INTO with matched UPDATE +- Suitable for corrections or attributes where history is not needed + +**SCD Type 2 (History Tracking):** +- Version records with surrogate keys and metadata columns +- Include `effective_start_date`, `effective_end_date`, and `is_current` columns +- Use MERGE INTO for implementing SCD Type 2 logic in DBSQL + +**SCD Type 2 with MERGE:** +```sql +MERGE INTO gold.sales.dim_customer AS target +USING ( + SELECT * FROM silver.crm.customers_changes +) AS source +ON target.customer_id = source.customer_id AND target.is_current = TRUE +WHEN MATCHED AND ( + target.full_name != source.full_name OR + target.city != source.city +) THEN UPDATE SET + effective_end_date = current_timestamp(), + is_current = FALSE +WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT ( + customer_id, full_name, email, city, state, country, segment, + effective_start_date, effective_end_date, is_current +) VALUES ( + source.customer_id, source.full_name, source.email, + source.city, source.state, source.country, source.segment, + current_timestamp(), NULL, TRUE +); +-- Then insert new versions for changed records in a second pass +``` + +**Delta Lake Time Travel** enables historical data access within configured log retention periods as a complementary feature to SCD. + +### Partitioning Strategies + +**Databricks recommends Liquid Clustering over traditional partitioning for all new tables.** + +Traditional partitioning rules of thumb (when needed): +- Keep partition count under 10,000 (ideally under 5,000 distinct values) +- Each partition should contain at least 1 GB of data +- Partition by low-cardinality columns that are frequently used in WHERE clauses (e.g., date, region) +- Works best for highly selective single-partition queries (e.g., filter on one day) + +**When traditional partitioning may still be appropriate:** +- Very large tables (hundreds of terabytes) with a clear, stable partition key +- Queries consistently filter on the same low-cardinality column +- Data lifecycle management requires partition-level operations + +### Liquid Clustering vs Traditional Partitioning + +**Liquid Clustering is the default recommendation for all new Delta tables**, including streaming tables and materialized views. It replaces both partitioning and Z-ORDER. + +| Aspect | Liquid Clustering | Partitioning + Z-ORDER | +|---|---|---| +| Column flexibility | Change clustering keys anytime | Partition column fixed at creation | +| Maintenance | Incremental, automatic with predictive optimization | Manual OPTIMIZE + Z-ORDER required | +| Filter dimensions | Best with 1-4 clustering keys | One partition key + Z-ORDER columns | +| Write overhead | Minimal (only unclustered ZCubes reorganized) | Z-ORDER reorganizes entire table/partition | +| Best for | Most workloads, evolving access patterns | Very large tables with stable, low-cardinality filter | +| Performance | 30-60% query speed improvement for variable queries | Better for single-partition lookup queries | + +**Liquid Clustering key selection best practices:** +- Choose columns most frequently used in query filters and joins +- Limit to 1-4 keys (fewer is better for smaller tables under 10 TB) +- For fact tables: cluster by the most commonly filtered foreign keys +- For dimension tables: cluster by primary key + common filter columns +- Too many keys dilute data skipping benefits; for tables under 10 TB, 2 keys often outperform 4 + +**Important:** Liquid Clustering is not compatible with partitioning or Z-ORDER on the same table. + +### Z-Ordering Considerations + +Z-ORDER is the legacy approach, now superseded by Liquid Clustering: + +- Z-ORDER reorganizes the entire table/partition during optimization (heavier writes) +- Does not track ZCube IDs, so every OPTIMIZE re-sorts all data +- Better suited for read-heavy workloads where write overhead is acceptable +- For new tables, always prefer Liquid Clustering + +**Migration path:** When migrating existing partitioned + Z-ORDERed tables to Liquid Clustering: +1. Drop the partition specification +2. Enable Liquid Clustering with chosen keys +3. Run OPTIMIZE to incrementally cluster data +4. Allow predictive optimization to maintain layout going forward + +--- + +## DBSQL Performance + +### Query Optimization Tips + +**Engine-level optimizations (automatic in DBSQL Serverless):** +- **Predictive Query Execution (PQE):** Monitors tasks in real time, dynamically adjusts query execution to avoid skew, spills, and unnecessary work. Unlike Adaptive Query Execution (AQE) which re-plans only after a stage completes, PQE detects issues like data skew or memory spills as they occur and replans immediately. +- **Photon Vectorized Shuffle:** Keeps data in compact columnar format, sorts within CPU cache, and uses vectorized instructions for 1.5x higher shuffle throughput. Best for CPU-bound workloads (large joins, wide aggregations). +- **Low Shuffle Merge:** Optimized MERGE implementation that reduces shuffle overhead for most common workloads. + +**Manual optimization actions:** +- Run `ANALYZE TABLE ... COMPUTE STATISTICS FOR COLUMNS` on dimension keys and frequently filtered columns to support AQE and data skipping +- Set `'delta.dataSkippingStatsColumns'` table property to specify which columns collect statistics +- Define PRIMARY KEY and FOREIGN KEY constraints to help the query optimizer +- Use deterministic queries (avoid `NOW()`, `CURRENT_TIMESTAMP()` in filters) to benefit from query result caching +- Prefer `CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE` over delete-then-create patterns +- Use `DECIMAL` over `FLOAT`/`DOUBLE` for financial calculations + +**SQL writing tips for DBSQL:** +- Filter early, aggregate late: push WHERE clauses as close to the source as possible +- Prefer explicit column lists over SELECT * +- Use CTEs for readability but be aware the optimizer may inline them +- Avoid Python/Scala UDFs when native SQL functions exist (UDFs require serialization between Python and Spark, significantly slowing queries) +- Use window functions instead of self-joins where possible +- Leverage QUALIFY clause for row-level filtering after window functions + +### Warehouse Sizing Guidance + +**Databricks recommends serverless SQL warehouses for most workloads.** Serverless uses Intelligent Workload Management (IWM) to automatically manage query workloads. + +**Sizing strategy:** +- Start with a single larger warehouse and let serverless features manage concurrency +- Size down if needed rather than starting small and scaling up +- If queries spill to disk, increase the cluster size + +**Scaling configuration:** +- Low concurrency (1-2 queries): keep max_clusters low +- Unpredictable spikes: set max_num_clusters high with target_utilization ~70% +- For dashboards with variable/infrequent load: enable aggressive auto-scaling and auto-stopping + +**Serverless advantages:** +- Start and scale up in seconds +- Scale down earlier than non-serverless warehouses +- Pay only when queries are running +- 30-60 second cold start latency (savings from no idle time far outweigh this) +- All 2025 optimizations (PQE, Photon Vectorized Shuffle) are automatically available + +### Caching Strategies + +**Query Result Cache:** +- DBSQL caches results per-cluster for all queries +- Cache is invalidated when underlying Delta data changes +- To maximize cache hits, use deterministic queries (no `NOW()`, `RAND()`, etc.) +- Both OBT and star schema achieve sub-500ms with automatic caching after first run + +**Delta Cache (Disk Cache):** +- Automatically caches remote data on local SSD in columnar format +- Accelerates data reads without manual configuration on serverless warehouses +- Particularly effective for repeated scans of the same tables + +**Best practice:** Design dashboards and reports to use parameterized queries that hit the same underlying patterns, maximizing cache reuse. + +### Photon Engine Benefits + +Photon is a vectorized query engine written in C++ that runs natively on Databricks: + +- Enabled by default on all DBSQL serverless warehouses +- Processes data in columnar batches using CPU vector instructions (SIMD) +- Excels at: large joins, wide aggregations, string processing, data shuffles +- 2025 vectorized shuffle delivers 1.5x higher shuffle throughput +- Combined with PQE, delivers up to 25% faster queries on top of existing 5x gains + +### Recent Performance Improvements (2025) + +| Improvement | Impact | +|---|---| +| Overall production workloads | Up to 40% faster (automatic, no tuning) | +| Photon Vectorized Shuffle | 1.5x higher shuffle throughput | +| PQE + Photon Vectorized Shuffle combined | Up to 25% faster on top of existing 5x gains | +| Spatial SQL queries | Up to 17x faster (R-tree indexing, optimized spatial joins) | +| AI functions | Up to 85x faster for large batch workloads | +| End-to-end Unity Catalog latency | Up to 10x improvement | +| 3-year cumulative improvement | 5x faster across customer workloads | + +All improvements are live in DBSQL Serverless with nothing to enable. + +### Cost Optimization Patterns + +1. **Use serverless SQL warehouses:** Pay only when queries run, auto-scale and auto-stop +2. **Enable predictive optimization:** Automatically runs OPTIMIZE and VACUUM on Unity Catalog managed tables +3. **Right-size warehouses:** Start larger, scale down based on actual usage patterns +4. **Avoid idle warehouses:** Use aggressive auto-stop for dashboards with infrequent load +5. **Leverage caching:** Design deterministic queries to maximize result cache hits +6. **Use Liquid Clustering:** Reduces scan volume, fewer DBUs consumed per query +7. **Collect statistics:** `ANALYZE TABLE` enables better query plans, reducing wasted compute +8. **Monitor with Query Profile:** Identify expensive operations, spills, and skew +9. **Use

OPTIMIZE, VACUUM, and ANALYZE + +**Recommended execution order:** OPTIMIZE -> VACUUM -> ANALYZE + +**OPTIMIZE:** +- Compacts small files into larger ones (target 1 GB by default) +- Run frequently on tables with many small files (especially after streaming writes) +- Configurable target size via `delta.targetFileSize` table property +- With Liquid Clustering: only reorganizes unclustered ZCubes (incremental) + +**VACUUM:** +- Removes old files no longer in the transaction log +- Reduces storage costs +- Use compute-optimized instances (AWS C5, Azure F-series, GCP C2) +- Default retention: 7 days (configurable via `delta.deletedFileRetentionDuration`) +- Never set retention below the longest-running query duration + +**ANALYZE TABLE:** +- Computes column-level statistics for query

Temporary Tables and Temporary Views + +### Temporary Tables + +Temporary tables are session-scoped, physical Delta tables for intermediate data storage. They exist only within the session where they are created. + +#### Key Characteristics + +- **Session-scoped**: Only visible to the creating session; isolated from other users +- **Physical storage**: Stored as Delta tables in an internal Unity Catalog location tied to the workspace +- **Maximum lifetime**: 7 days from session creation, or until the session ends (whichever comes first) +- **No catalog privileges needed**: Any user can create temporary tables without `CREATE TABLE` privileges +- **Automatic cleanup**: Databricks reclaims storage automatically, even after unexpected disconnections +- **Shared namespace**: Temporary tables share a namespace with temporary views; you cannot create both with the same name + +#### Syntax + +```sql +-- Create with schema +CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE temp_results ( + id INT, + name STRING, + score DOUBLE +); + +-- Create from query (CTAS) +CREATE TEMP TABLE temp_active_users +AS SELECT user_id, username, last_login +FROM catalog.schema.users +WHERE last_login > current_date() - INTERVAL 30 DAYS; +``` + +Note: `CREATE OR REPLACE TEMP TABLE` is **not yet supported**.

Temporary tables in the current session +2. Permanent tables in the current schema + +Temporary tables with the same name as permanent tables **take precedence** within that session. + +### Temporary Views + +Temporary views are session-scoped, logical views that store a query definition (not data). They are recomputed on each access. + +#### Syntax + +```sql +-- Create a temporary view +CREATE TEMPORARY VIEW active_customers +AS SELECT customer_id, name, email +FROM catalog.schema.customers +WHERE status = 'active'; + +-- Replace an existing temporary view +CREATE OR REPLACE TEMPORARY VIEW active_customers +AS SELECT customer_id, name, email, phone +FROM catalog.schema.customers +WHERE status = 'active' AND last_order > current_date() - INTERVAL 90 DAYS; +``` + +#### Key Rules + +- Temporary view names **must not be qualified** (no catalog or schema prefix) +- No special privileges required to create +- Dropped automatically when the session ends +- Cannot use `schema_binding` clauses +- Support `COMMENT` and column comments + +#### Global Temporary Views (Databricks Runtime Only) + +```sql +-- Only available in Databricks Runtime, NOT in Databricks SQL +CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY VIEW global_summary +AS SELECT region, SUM(revenue) AS total_revenue +FROM catalog.schema.sales +GROUP BY region; + +-- Must reference via global_temp schema +SELECT * FROM global_temp.global_summary; +``` + +Global temporary views are stored in a system `global_temp` schema and are session-scoped. They are **not available in Databricks SQL** (only Databricks Runtime). + +### Temporary Tables vs Temporary Views + +| Aspect | Temporary Tables | Temporary Views | +|--------|-----------------|-----------------| +| **Storage** | Physical Delta table (stores data) | Logical (stores query definition only) | +| **Compute on access** | No (data already materialized) | Yes (query re-executed each time) | +| **DML support** | INSERT, UPDATE, MERGE | None (read-only definition) | +| **Max lifetime** | 7 days or session end | Session end | +| **CREATE OR REPLACE** | Not supported | Supported | +| **Performance** | Faster for repeated reads (data cached) | Slower for repeated reads (recomputed) | +| **Storage cost** | Uses cloud storage (auto-cleaned) | No storage cost | +| **Shared namespace** | Yes (conflicts with temp views) | Yes (conflicts with temp tables) | +| **When to use** | Large intermediate results, repeated access, DML needed | Simple query aliases, lightweight transformations | + +### Temporary Metric Views (Added September 2025) + +```sql +-- Temporary metric views: session-scoped, dropped on session end +CREATE TEMPORARY METRIC VIEW session_metrics +AS SELECT ...; +``` + +Available in Databricks Runtime 17.2+ and Databricks SQL. + +--- + +## 3. SQL Pipe Syntax + +### Overview + +Pipe syntax (introduced February 2025) allows composing SQL queries as a top-down, left-to-right chain of operations using the `|>` operator. It eliminates deeply nested subqueries and makes SQL read like a DataFrame pipeline. + +**Requirements**: Databricks SQL or Databricks Runtime **16.2+** + +### Basic Syntax + +```sql +FROM table_name +|> pipe_operation_1 +|> pipe_operation_2 +|> pipe_operation_3; +``` + +Any query can start a pipeline. The most common pattern is `FROM table_name`, but any SELECT or subquery also works: + +```sql +-- Start from a table +FROM catalog.schema.sales |> WHERE region = 'US' |> SELECT product, amount; + +-- Start from a subquery +(SELECT * FROM catalog.schema.sales WHERE year = 2025) +|> AGGREGATE SUM(amount) AS total GROUP BY product +|> ORDER BY total DESC; +``` + +### All Available Pipe Operators + +#### SELECT -- Project columns + +```sql +FROM catalog.schema.employees +|> SELECT employee_id, name, department, salary; +``` + +Note: `SELECT` in pipe syntax **must not contain aggregate functions**. Use `AGGREGATE` instead. + +#### EXTEND -- Add new columns + +Appends new columns to the existing result set (like PySpark's `withColumn`): + +```sql +FROM catalog.schema.orders +|> EXTEND quantity * unit_price AS line_total +|> EXTEND line_total * 0.1 AS tax; +``` + +Expressions can reference columns created by preceding expressions in the same EXTEND. + +#### SET -- Modify existing columns + +Overrides existing column values (like PySpark's `withColumn` on existing columns): + +```sql +FROM catalog.schema.products +|> SET price = price * 1.1 +|> SET name = UPPER(name); +``` + +Raises `UNRESOLVED_COLUMN` if the column does not exist. + +#### DROP -- Remove columns + +Removes columns (shorthand for `SELECT * EXCEPT`): + +```sql +FROM catalog.schema.users +|> DROP password_hash, internal_id, debug_flag; +``` + +#### WHERE -- Filter rows + +```sql +FROM catalog.schema.transactions +|> WHERE amount > 1000 +|> WHERE transaction_date >= '2025-01-01'; +``` + +#### AGGREGATE -- Aggregation with optional GROUP BY + +```sql +-- Full-table aggregation +FROM catalog.schema.orders +|> AGGREGATE + COUNT(*) AS total_orders, + SUM(amount) AS total_revenue, + AVG(amount) AS avg_order_value; + +-- Grouped aggregation +FROM catalog.schema.orders +|> AGGREGATE + SUM(amount) AS total_revenue, + COUNT(*) AS order_count + GROUP BY region, product_category; +``` + +In pipe syntax, `AGGREGATE` replaces `SELECT ... GROUP BY`. Numeric values in GROUP BY reference input columns, not generated results. + +#### JOIN -- Combine relations + +```sql +FROM catalog.schema.orders +|> AS o +|> LEFT JOIN catalog.schema.customers c ON o.customer_id = c.customer_id +|> SELECT o.order_id, c.name, o.amount; +``` + +All JOIN types are supported: `INNER JOIN`, `LEFT OUTER JOIN`, `RIGHT OUTER JOIN`, `FULL OUTER JOIN`, `CROSS JOIN`, `SEMI JOIN`, `ANTI JOIN`. + +#### ORDER BY -- Sort results + +```sql +FROM catalog.schema.products +|> ORDER BY price DESC, name ASC; +``` + +#### LIMIT and OFFSET -- Pagination + +```sql +FROM catalog.schema.products +|> ORDER BY price DESC +|> LIMIT 10 +|> OFFSET 20; +``` + +#### AS -- Assign table alias + +Names the intermediate result for use in subsequent JOINs or self-references: + +```sql +FROM catalog.schema.sales +|> AS current_sales +|> JOIN catalog.schema.targets t ON current_sales.region = t.region +|> SELECT current_sales.region, current_sales.revenue, t.target; +``` + +#### Set Operators -- UNION, EXCEPT, INTERSECT + +```sql +FROM catalog.schema.us_customers +|> UNION ALL (SELECT * FROM catalog.schema.eu_customers) +|> ORDER BY name; +``` + +#### TABLESAMPLE -- Sample rows + +```sql +-- Sample by row count +FROM catalog.schema.large_table +|> TABLESAMPLE (1000 ROWS); + +-- Sample by percentage +FROM catalog.schema.large_table +|> TABLESAMPLE (10 PERCENT); +``` + +#### PIVOT -- Rows to columns + +```sql +FROM catalog.schema.quarterly_sales +|> PIVOT ( + SUM(revenue) + FOR quarter IN ('Q1', 'Q2', 'Q3', 'Q4') + ); +``` + +#### UNPIVOT -- Columns to rows + +```sql +FROM catalog.schema.wide_metrics +|> UNPIVOT ( + metric_value FOR metric_name IN (cpu_usage, memory_usage, disk_usage) + ); +``` + +### Practical Examples + +#### Example 1: Multi-step aggregation (replaces nested subqueries) + +Traditional SQL: +```sql +SELECT c_count, COUNT(*) AS custdist +FROM ( + SELECT c_custkey, COUNT(o_orderkey) AS c_count + FROM customer + LEFT OUTER JOIN orders ON c_custkey = o_custkey + AND o_comment NOT LIKE '%unusual%packages%' + GROUP BY c_custkey +) AS c_orders +GROUP BY c_count +ORDER BY custdist DESC, c_count DESC; +``` + +Pipe syntax: +```sql +FROM customer +|> LEFT OUTER JOIN orders ON c_custkey = o_custkey + AND o_comment NOT LIKE '%unusual%packages%' +|> AGGREGATE COUNT(o_orderkey) AS c_count GROUP BY c_custkey +|> AGGREGATE COUNT(*) AS custdist GROUP BY c_count +|> ORDER BY custdist DESC, c_count DESC; +``` + +#### Example 2: Data exploration and profiling + +```sql +FROM catalog.schema.raw_events +|> WHERE event_date >= '2025-01-01' +|> EXTEND YEAR(event_date) AS event_year, MONTH(event_date) AS event_month +|> AGGREGATE + COUNT(*) AS event_count, + COUNT(DISTINCT user_id) AS unique_users, + AVG(duration_seconds) AS avg_duration + GROUP BY event_year, event_month +|> ORDER BY event_year, event_month; +``` + +#### Example 3: Building a report step-by-step + +```sql +FROM catalog.schema.orders +|> AS o +|> JOIN catalog.schema.products p ON o.product_id = p.product_id +|> JOIN catalog.schema.customers c ON o.customer_id = c.customer_id +|> WHERE o.order_date >= '2025-01-01' +|> EXTEND o.quantity * p.unit_price AS line_total +|> AGGREGATE + SUM(line_total) AS total_revenue, + COUNT(DISTINCT o.order_id) AS order_count + GROUP BY c.region, p.category +|> ORDER BY total_revenue DESC +|> LIMIT 20; +``` + +#### Example 4: Debugging by commenting out tail operations + +```sql +FROM catalog.schema.sales +|> WHERE region = 'US' +|> EXTEND amount * tax_rate AS tax_amount +-- |> AGGREGATE SUM(tax_amount) AS total_tax GROUP BY state +-- |> ORDER BY total_tax DESC +; +-- Comment out the last operations to inspect intermediate results +``` + +### Pipe Syntax vs Traditional SQL + +| Aspect | Traditional SQL | Pipe SQL | +|--------|----------------|----------| +| **Reading order** | Inside-out (subqueries first) | Top-down, left-to-right | +| **Clause order** | Fixed: SELECT...FROM...WHERE...GROUP BY...ORDER BY | Any order, any number of times | +| **Subquery nesting** | Required for multi-step aggregations | Eliminated via chaining | +| **Column addition** | SELECT *, expr AS new_col | `EXTEND expr AS new_col` | +| **Column removal** | SELECT with explicit column list or EXCEPT | `DROP col1, col2` | +| **Column modification** | SELECT with expression replacing column | `SET col = new_expr` | +| **Aggregation** | SELECT agg() ...

If the names differ, `align()` cannot find the corresponding score pairs and alignment will fail or produce incorrect results. + +--- + +## ❌ WRONG Aligned Judge Score Interpretation + +### WRONG: Assuming a lower aligned judge score means the agent got worse +```python +# ❌ WRONG interpretation - panicking because aligned judge gives lower scores +# Unaligned judge: 4.2/5.0 average +# Aligned judge: 3.1/5.0 average +# "The agent regressed!" — No, the judge got more accurate. +``` + +### ✅ CORRECT: Understanding that a lower aligned score reflects more accurate evaluation +```python +# ✅ CORRECT interpretation +# The aligned judge now evaluates with domain-expert standards rather than generic best practices. +# A lower score from a more accurate judge is a better signal than an inflated score from +# a judge that doesn't understand your domain. The unaligned judge was underspecified. +# Use optimize_prompts() with the aligned judge to improve the agent against this standard. +``` + +**Why?** An unaligned judge evaluates against generic best practices and often gives inflated scores. Once aligned with SME feedback, the judge applies domain-specific criteria that are harder to satisfy. The lower score is not a regression in agent quality; it is a more honest assessment.

The `_episodic_memory` list is empty on deserialization. The aligned `instructions` field (which includes distilled semantic guidelines) is the reliable thing to inspect after `get_scorer()`. + +--- + +## ❌ WRONG GEPA Optimization Dataset — Missing expectations + +### WRONG: Using eval-style dataset (inputs only) for optimize_prompts() +```python +# ❌ WRONG - GEPA requires expectations; optimization will fail or produce poor results +optimization_dataset = [ + {"inputs": {"input": [{"role": "user", "content": "How does the offense attack the blitz?"}]}}, + {"inputs": {"input": [{"role": "user", "content": "What are 3rd down tendencies?"}]}}, +] + +result = mlflow.genai.optimize_prompts( + predict_fn=predict_fn, + train_data=optimization_dataset, # ❌ Missing expectations + prompt_uris=[prompt.uri], + optimizer=GepaPromptOptimizer(...), + scorers=[aligned_judge], +) +``` + +### ✅ CORRECT: Include expectations in every optimization dataset record +```python +# ✅ CORRECT - Each record must have both inputs AND expectations +optimization_dataset = [ + { + "inputs": { + "input": [{"role": "user", "content": "How does the offense attack the blitz?"}] + }, + "expectations": { + "expected_response": ( + "The agent should analyze blitz performance metrics, compare success " + "rates across pressure packages, and provide concrete tactical recommendations." + ) + } + }, + { + "inputs": { + "input": [{"role": "user", "content": "What are 3rd down tendencies?"}] + }, + "expectations": { + "expected_response": ( + "The agent should call the appropriate tool with down=3 parameters, " + "summarize the play distribution, and give defensive recommendations." + ) + } + }, +] +``` + +**Why?** GEPA uses the `expectations` field during reflection — it compares the agent's output against the expected behavior to generate targeted prompt improvement suggestions.

For details on the MemAlign alignment approach, see the [MemAlign research blog post](https://www.databricks.com/blog/memalign-building-better-llm-judges-human-feedback-scalable-memory). + +### The Loop at a Glance + +``` +1. Run evaluate() -> Generate traces, score with base judge +2. Tag traces -> Mark successfully evaluated traces for dataset +3. Build eval dataset -> Persist traces to UC for labeling +4. Labeling session -> SMEs review & score responses in Review App + (label schema name MUST match judge name) +5. Align judge (MemAlign) -> Distill SME feedback into judge guidelines +6. Re-evaluate -> Baseline with aligned judge (score may decrease, that's OK) +7. Build optim dataset -> inputs + expectations (required for GEPA) +8. optimize_prompts() -> GEPA iteratively improves system prompt +9. Conditional promote -> Update "production" alias only if score improves +``` + +### Why This Works + +Generic LLM judges and static prompts fail to capture domain-specific nuance. Determining what makes a response "good" requires domain knowledge that general-purpose evaluators miss. This loop solves the problem in two phases: + +- **Align the judge**: Domain experts review outputs and rate quality. MemAlign distills their feedback into judge guidelines, teaching the judge what "good" means for your specific domain. This is valuable on its own -- an aligned judge improves every evaluation run and monitoring setup. +- **Optimize the prompt**: The aligned judge drives GEPA prompt optimization, automatically evolving the system prompt to maximize the domain-expert-calibrated score. Only improvements get promoted to production. + +### Steps + +**Phase 1: Evaluate and Collect Feedback** + +1. **Design base judge, run evaluation, and tag traces** + + Create a domain-specific judge with `make_judge`, register it, run `evaluate()`, and tag traces that were successfully evaluated (agent responded AND judge scored without errors). + + See `patterns-judge-alignment.md` Patterns 1-2 + +2. **Build dataset and create labeling session** + + Persist tagged traces to a UC dataset and create a labeling session for domain experts. + + **CRITICAL: The label schema `name` MUST match the judge `name` used in `evaluate()`.** This is how `align()` pairs SME feedback with LLM judge scores. If they don't match, alignment will fail. + + See `patterns-judge-alignment.md` Pattern 3 + +3. **Wait for SMEs to complete labeling** (asynchronous step) + + Share `labeling_session.url` with domain experts. They review agent responses and submit ratings using the Review App. + +**Phase 2: Align the Judge** + +4. **Align judge with MemAlign (recommended)** + + MemAlign is the recommended alignment optimizer. It is the fastest (seconds vs. minutes for alternatives), most cost-effective ($0.03 vs. $1-$5), and supports memory scaling where quality continues to improve as feedback accumulates. Other optimizers (e.g., SIMBA) are also supported. + + See `patterns-judge-alignment.md` Patterns 4-5 + +5. **Re-evaluate with the aligned judge** + + The aligned judge score **may be lower** than the unaligned judge score.

These practices should hold true in almost all scenarios. + +**Source**: Canadian Data Guy — "Spark Streaming Best Practices" + +## Beginner Checklist + +### 1. Always Set a Trigger Interval + +```python +# ✅ Good: Controls API costs and listing operations +stream.writeStream \ + .trigger(processingTime='5 seconds') \ + .start() + +# ❌ Bad: No trigger means continuous microbatches +# Can cause excessive S3/ADLS listing costs +``` + +**Why**: Fast processing (<1 sec) repeats listing operations, causing unintended costs. + +### 2. Use Auto Loader Notification Mode + +```python +# Switch from file listing to event-based +spark.readStream \ + .format("cloudFiles") \ + .option("cloudFiles.useNotifications", "true") \ + .load("/path/to/data") +``` + +[Auto Loader File Notification Mode](https://docs.databricks.com/ingestion/auto-loader/file-notification-mode.html) + +### 3. Disable S3 Versioning + +```python +# ❌ Don't enable versioning on S3 buckets with Delta +# ✅ Delta has time travel — no need for S3 versioning +# Versioning adds significant latency at scale +``` + +### 4. Co-Locate Compute and Storage + +```python +# ✅ Keep compute and storage in the same region +# Cross-region = latency + egress costs +``` + +### 5. Use ADLS Gen2 on Azure + +```python +# ✅ ADLS Gen2 is optimized for big data analytics +# ❌ Regular blob storage = slower performance +``` + +### 6. Partition Strategy + +```python +# ✅ Partition on low-cardinality columns: date, region, country +# ❌ Avoid high-cardinality: user_id, transaction_id + +# Rule of thumb: < 100,000 partitions +# Example: 10 years × 365 days × 20 countries = 73,000 partitions ✅ +``` + +### 7. Name Your Streaming Query + +```python +# ✅ Easily identifiable in Spark UI +stream.writeStream \ + .option("queryName", "IngestFromKafka") \ + .start() + +# Shows up as "IngestFromKafka" in Streaming tab +``` + +### 8. One Checkpoint Per Stream + +```python +# ✅ Each stream has its own checkpoint +# ❌ Never share checkpoints between streams + +# Example: Two sources → one target +# Source 1 → checkpoint_1 → target +# Source 2 → checkpoint_2 → target +``` + +### 9. Don't Multiplex Streams + +```python +# ❌ Don't run multiple streams on same driver +# Can cause stability issues + +# ✅ Use separate jobs or benchmark thoroughly +``` + +### 10. Optimal Partition Size + +```python +# Target: 100-200MB per partition in memory + +# Tune with: +.option("maxFilesPerTrigger", "100") +.option("maxBytesPerTrigger", "100MB") + +# Monitor in Spark UI → Stages → Partition size +``` + +### 11. Prefer Broadcast Hash Join + +```python +# ✅ BroadcastHashJoin is faster than SortMergeJoin +# Spark auto-broadcasts tables < 100MB + +# Increase threshold if needed: +spark.conf.set("spark.sql.autoBroadcastJoinThreshold", "1g") +``` + +## Advanced Checklist + +### 12. Checkpoint Naming Convention + +```python +# Structure: {table_location}/_checkpoints/_{target_table_name}_starting_{identifier} + +# Examples: +# 1. By timestamp: /delta/events/_checkpoints/_events_starting_2024_01_15 +# 2. By version: /delta/events/_checkpoints/_events_startingVersion_12345 + +# Why: Multiple checkpoints over table lifetime (upgrades, logic changes) +``` + +### 13. Minimize Shuffle Spill + +```python +# ✅ Goal: Shuffle spill (disk) = 0 +# ✅ Only shuffle read should exist + +# Check: Spark UI → SQL → Exchange operators +# If spill > 0: Increase memory or reduce partition size +``` + +### 14. Use RocksDB for Stateful Operations + +```python +# For large state stores, use RocksDB backend +spark.conf.set( + "spark.sql.streaming.stateStore.providerClass", + "com.databricks.sql.streaming.state.RocksDBStateProvider" +) +``` + +### 15. Event Hubs via Kafka Connector + +```python +# ✅ Use Kafka protocol for Azure Event Hubs +# More flexible partition handling + +# Note: With EventHubs Kafka connector +# Number of cores can differ from partitions +# (vs native EventHubs: cores == partitions) +``` + +### 16. Watermark for State Cleanup + +```python +# ✅ Always use watermark with stateful ops +# Prevents infinite state growth + +stream.withWatermark("timestamp", "10 minutes") \ + .groupBy("user_id") \ + .agg(sum("amount")) + +# Exception: If infinite state needed, store in Delta + ZORDER +``` + +### 17. Deduplication at Scale + +```python +# At trillion-record scale: +# ✅ Delta merge over dropDuplicates + +# dropDuplicates: State store grows very large +# Delta merge: Use table for lookup + +# Example: +spark.sql(""" + MERGE INTO target t + USING source s ON t.event_id = s.event_id + WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT * +""") +``` + +### 18.

Actual implementations should be more sophisticated — use domain-specific distributions, realistic business rules, and correlations that reflect the user's actual use case. Ask clarifying questions to understand the business context before generating. + +## Core Principles + +### 1. Data Must Be Interesting + +Synthetic data should reveal patterns humans can see in dashboards and ML models can learn from: + +- **Visible trends** — Revenue growth, seasonal spikes, degradation over time +- **Actionable segments** — Clear differences between customer tiers, regions, product categories +- **Anomalies to detect** — Fraud patterns, equipment failures, churn signals +- **Correlations to discover** — Higher tier = more spend, faster resolution = better CSAT + +**Anti-pattern:** Uniform random data with no story — useless for demos and ML. + +### 2. Non-Uniform Distributions + +Real data is never uniformly distributed. Use appropriate distributions: + +| Distribution | When to Use | Examples | +|--------------|-------------|----------| +| **Log-normal** | Monetary values, sizes | Order amounts, salaries, file sizes | +| **Pareto (80/20)** | Popularity, wealth | 20% of customers = 80% of revenue | +| **Exponential** | Time between events | Support resolution time, session duration | +| **Weighted categorical** | Skewed categories | Status (70% complete, 5% failed), tiers | + +```python +# Log-normal for amounts (long tail, always positive) +amount = np.random.lognormal(mean=5.5, sigma=0.8) # ~$245 median + +# Pareto for power-law (few large, many small) +value = (np.random.pareto(a=1.5) + 1) * base_value + +# Exponential for time-to-event +hours = np.random.exponential(scale=24) # avg 24h, skewed right +``` + +### 3. Row Coherence + +Attributes within a row must make business sense together. Generate correlated attributes in a single UDF for example: + +| If This... | Then This... | +|------------|--------------| +| Enterprise tier | Higher order amounts, more activity, priority support | +| Critical priority | Faster resolution, more interactions | +| Older equipment | Higher failure rate, more anomalies | +| Large transaction + unusual hour | Higher fraud probability | +| Fast resolution | Higher CSAT score | + +```python +@F.pandas_udf("struct") +def generate_coherent_ticket(tiers: pd.Series) -> pd.DataFrame: + """All attributes correlate logically within each row.""" + results = [] + for tier in tiers: + # Priority depends on tier + priority = "Critical" if tier == "Enterprise" and random() < 0.3 else "Medium" + # Resolution depends on priority + resolution = np.random.exponential(4 if priority == "Critical" else 36) + # CSAT depends on resolution + csat = 5 if resolution < 4 else (3 if resolution < 24 else 2) + results.append({"priority": priority, "resolution_hours": resolution, "csat": csat}) + return pd.DataFrame(results) +``` + +### 4. The 80/20 Rule + +Apply power-law distributions where appropriate: + +- **20% of customers** generate 80% of orders/revenue +- **20% of products** account for 80% of sales +- **20% of support agents** handle 80% of tickets + +Implementation: Use weighted sampling when assigning FKs, not uniform random. + +### 5. Time-Based Patterns + +Most data has temporal patterns: + +- **Weekday vs weekend** — B2B drops on weekends, B2C peaks +- **Business hours** — Support tickets cluster 9am-5pm +- **Seasonality** — Q4 retail spike, summer travel peak +- **Trends** — Growth over time, degradation curves + +```python +def get_volume_multiplier(date): + multiplier = 1.0 + if date.weekday() >= 5: multiplier *= 0.6 # Weekend drop + if date.month in [11, 12]: multiplier *= 1.5 # Holiday spike + return multiplier +``` + +### 6. ML-Ready Data + +If data will train ML models, ensure: + +- **Signal exists** — The patterns you want the model to learn are present +- **Noise is realistic** — Not too clean (overfitting) or too noisy (unlearnable) +- **Class balance** — Fraud at 0.1-1%, not 50/50 (unrealistic) +- **Temporal validity** — Train/test split respects time (no future leakage) + +## Referential Integrity + +Generate master tables first, write to Delta, then join for FKs: + +```python +# 1. Generate and write master table +customers_df.write.mode("overwrite").saveAsTable(f"{CATALOG}.{SCHEMA}.customers") + +# 2.

Complex inheritance hierarchies and abstract base classes break serialization and make cross-process debugging painful. Use one shared base class mixed with the PySpark interface (e.g., `class YourBatchWriter(YourWriter, DataSourceWriter)`). + +**Import third-party libraries inside executor methods.** The `read()` and `write()` methods run on remote executor processes that don't share the driver's Python environment. Top-level imports from the driver won't be available on executors — always import libraries like `requests` or database drivers inside the methods that run on workers. + +**Minimize dependencies.** Every package you add must be installed on all executor nodes in the cluster, not just the driver.
