What you should be able to do

Independently: Design a rerun that does not duplicate the same batch.

Suggested prerequisites

A short guide

Use incremental loads and idempotency to make decisions inspectable. Design a rerun that does not duplicate the same batch. Read the indicated source section, identify its key concepts and conditions, and work through the example. Record inputs, sources, units and assumptions. Keep your method separate from the result, mark unanswered questions, and review the output against the checklist.

An example

Stable-key updates avoid unconditional duplicate appends.

Self-check

Try a practice set

Calculations and choices receive immediate checks. Review open responses yourself against the rubric. All examples are educational.

1. 500 input rows with 10 explicitly rejected. Successful output?
2. How can a batch retry avoid duplication?
3. After the logs and lineage task, state one assumption, one supporting fact and one condition that would change your conclusion.
