The failure is that the code to add CHECK constraints to the Delta Lake table fails when executed. The code uses ALTER TABLE ADD CONSTRAINT commands to add two CHECK constraints to a table named activity_details. The first constraint checks if the latitude value is between -90 and 90, and the second constraint checks if the longitude value is between -180 and 180. The cause of this failure is that the activity_details table already contains records that violate these constraints, meaning that they have invalid latitude or longitude values outside of these ranges. When adding CHECK constraints to an existing table, Delta Lake verifies that all existing data satisfies the constraints before adding them to the table. If any record violates the constraints, Delta Lake throws an exception and aborts the operation. Verified References:

This is the correct answer because the window function is used to group streaming data by time intervals. The window function takes two arguments: a time column and a window duration. The window duration specifies how long each window is, and must be a multiple of 1 second. In this case, the window duration is "5 minutes", which means each window will cover a non-overlapping five-minute interval. The window function also returns a struct column with two fields: start and end, which represent the start and end time of each window. The alias function is used to rename the struct column as "time".

When a table is dropped in Delta Lake, the table is removed from the catalog and the data is deleted. This is because Delta Lake is a transactional storage layer that provides ACID guarantees. When a table is dropped, the transaction log is updated to reflect the deletion of the table and the data is deleted from the underlying storage. References:

In Spark Structured Streaming, certain types of joins between a static DataFrame and a streaming DataFrame are not supported. Specifically, a right outer join where the static DataFrame is on the left side and the streaming DataFrame is on the right side is not valid. This is because Spark Structured Streaming cannot handle scenarios where it has to wait for new rows to arrive in the streaming DataFrame to match rows in the static DataFrame. The other join types listed (inner, left, and full outer joins) are supported in streaming-static DataFrame joins.

Explanation
The answer is OPTIMIZE table_name,
Optimize compacts small parquet files into a bigger file, by default the size of the files are determined based on the table size at the time of OPTIMIZE, the file size can also be set manually or adjusted based on the workload.
https://docs.databricks.com/delta/optimizations/file-mgmt.html
Tune file size based on Table size
To minimize the need for manual tuning, Databricks automatically tunes the file size of Delta tables based on the size of the table. Databricks will use smaller file sizes for smaller tables and larger file sizes for larger tables so that the number of files in the table does not grow too large.
