A data engineer notices that data in the 'processed' zone is missing some recent records. What is the most likely cause?
ASandbox zone overwrote the data
BCurated zone deleted the records
CData lake storage is full
DRaw data ingestion failed or delayed
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Trace data flow

    Processed zone depends on raw data ingestion; missing raw data causes missing processed data.
  2. Step 2: Evaluate other options

    Curated zone does not delete processed data, sandbox is separate, storage full causes errors but not selective missing data.
  3. Final Answer:

    Raw data ingestion failed or delayed -> Option D
  4. Quick Check:

    Missing processed data = Raw ingestion issue [OK]
Quick Trick: Processed data depends on raw ingestion success [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Blaming curated zone for missing processed data
  • Assuming sandbox overwrites processed data
  • Ignoring ingestion failures
