4/5

What do you dislike about Databricks?

using the same cluster to perform several streaming tasks

Since shutdown immediately following the job run/fail is configured by default, job clusters cannot be reused even for the same retry in PRODUCTION. Checking potential ways to raise this limit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
