SCD Type 3 Databricks
SCD Type 3 Databricks
SCD Type 3 in Databricks is a method for managing slowly changing dimensions within a data warehouse. It focuses explicitly on tracking an attribute’s current and previous values when it changes. This approach allows you to maintain a history of changes while still having access to the most recent data.
Implementation Approaches:
While Databricks doesn’t have a built-in SCD Type 3 implementation, you can effectively implement it using the following methods:
- Delta Live Tables (DLT):
- Leverage the APPLY CHANGES API within DLT to simplify change data capture.
- Use MERGE statements to efficiently update your dimension table efficiently, preserving old and new attribute values.
- Handle out-of-order events and ensure data consistency.
- Spark Structured Streaming:
- Process incoming data streams in real time.
- Apply similar MERGE logic to maintain the SCD Type 3 structure.
- Ensure fault tolerance and exact-once processing for reliable updates.
