Question 240
A Fabric platform team coordinates Apache Airflow and data pipelines. The current environment exhibits the following problem: operators see a DAG marked green but a required downstream data check failed. Which technical choice fits this evidence?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Represent data-validation assertions as required tasks in the DAG. Scheduling success is not equivalent to data correctness.
Incorrect Answers
An Airflow operator retries a nonidempotent append operation. DAG retries can repeat earlier data mutations.
A DAG uses a personal token that has expired in production. Managed execution must not depend on an unmaintained user's token.
A simple copy-and-transform process is wrapped in unnecessary Airflow operators. Tool choice should match operational complexity.
