A data engineering team operates a DLT pipeline that updates all tables at specified intervals until it is manually stopped. Upon stopping, the compute resources are terminated. Which execution mode best describes this DLT pipeline?
Explanation:
Continuous pipelines are designed to update tables continuously as new data arrives, running indefinitely until manually stopped. In Production mode, the Delta Live Tables system ensures that the cluster is terminated immediately upon pipeline stoppage, restarts the cluster for recoverable errors, and retries execution in the event of specific failures. This behavior aligns with the scenario described. For more information, refer to the Delta Live Tables documentation.
