SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides robust patterns for implementing advanced data quality validation in Databricks pipelines, offering richer diagnostics and flexible quarantine strategies than standard DLT expectations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Detailed Failure Insights: Identifies the exact reason for data quality failures.
  • Flexible Quarantine: Allows for strategies like dropping, marking, or splitting invalid records.
  • Use Case: When loading customer transaction data, use this Skill to validate that amounts are non-negative and transaction dates are within a reasonable range, automatically quarantining any records that fail these critical checks.

Quick Start

Apply DQX checks defined in 'dqx_checks_transactions.yml' to the 'bronze_transactions' stream and save valid records to 'silver_transactions'.

FAQPage Schema
How do I implement advanced data quality validation in Databricks pipelines?▼

Advanced data quality validation in Databricks pipelines is implemented using the DQX framework to validate Silver and Gold layer data, providing richer diagnostics and flexible quarantine strategies than standard expectations.

What is the best way to quarantine invalid records in a Databricks data pipeline?▼

Quarantining invalid records in a Databricks pipeline is handled by flexible DQX strategies that allow dropping, marking, or splitting invalid rows into separate Delta tables for detailed failure diagnostics.

Does DQX data quality validation work with serverless compute on Databricks?▼

Yes, DQX data quality validation supports serverless compute compatibility on Databricks, allowing you to run YAML-configured checks on Silver and Gold layer data without provisioning dedicated clusters.

How do I configure DQX checks for a Databricks Silver layer data stream?▼

Configuring DQX checks requires defining validation rules in a YAML file, which is then applied to your Bronze or Silver layer streams to validate records before saving them to downstream Delta tables.

Why use DQX patterns instead of standard DLT expectations for data quality?▼

DQX patterns provide detailed failure insights by identifying the exact reason for data quality failures, offering more granular diagnostics and quarantine strategies than standard DLT expectations for Silver and Gold layers.
