A
Gold tables are more likely to contain aggregations than Silver tables.
B
Gold tables are more likely to contain valuable data than Silver tables.
C
Gold tables are more likely to contain a less refined view of data than Silver tables.
D
Gold tables are more likely to contain truthful data than Silver tables.
Explanation:
In the Databricks Lakehouse architecture, the medallion architecture consists of three layers: Bronze (raw data), Silver (cleaned and validated data), and Gold (aggregated, enriched, and business-ready data).
Key points:
- Gold tables contain aggregated, summarized, and business-ready data optimized for analytics and reporting
- Silver tables contain cleaned, validated, and enriched data that is ready for consumption
- Option A is correct: Gold tables are indeed more likely to contain aggregations than Silver tables, as they represent the final, business-ready layer with aggregated metrics
- Option B is incorrect: Both Gold and Silver tables contain valuable data, but Gold tables are specifically optimized for business consumption
- Option C is incorrect: Gold tables contain a MORE refined view of data than Silver tables, not less refined
- Option D is incorrect: Both Gold and Silver tables contain truthful data after validation and cleaning processes
The medallion architecture progression is: Bronze (raw) → Silver (cleaned) → Gold (aggregated/business-ready).
