Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

spark-cert-3.5 scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

spark-cert-3.5 — Study Orchestrator

Purpose

Coordinate the underlying Spark sub-skills for effective, exam-targeted study of the Databricks Certified Associate Developer for Apache Spark 3.5. Track study progress. Generate practice material.

Sub-skills consulted

  • apache-spark: Damji book "Learning Spark, 2nd Edition" (Spark 3.0 baseline) → ch01–ch12
  • spark-connect: exam Section 6
  • pandas-on-spark: exam Section 7 (Pandas API on Spark)
  • spark-3.5-updates: built-ins added in 3.1–3.5, AQE evolution post-3.0, Pandas UDF / Arrow APIs

Exam topic map

Sec Topic Primary source Secondary
1 Architecture & Components apache-spark/ch01, ch02
2 DataFrame API basics apache-spark/ch03, ch04
3 DataFrame transformations + built-ins apache-spark/ch05 spark-3.5-updates (new built-ins)
4 Performance & tuning apache-spark/ch07, ch12 spark-3.5-updates (AQE post-3.0)
5 Structured Streaming apache-spark/ch08
6 Spark Connect spark-connect (only)
7 Pandas API on Spark + Pandas UDF pandas-on-spark + spark-3.5-updates apache-spark/ch05 (baseline)

State file

Persistent state in ~/spark-cert/progress.md. Update at every session.

Workflows

study

  1. Identify section/topic from the exam topic map.
  2. Consult the primary source plus any secondary source.
  3. Produce output:
    • Concept (concise)
    • Code example (runnable)
    • 2 exam-style multiple-choice questions (4 options each)
    • 1 trap question (tests a common misconception)
  4. Wait for the user's answers.
  5. Explain mistakes, update progress.md (coverage % and weak spots when answers are wrong).

quiz | quiz random

  • 5–10 exam-style questions on the given topic, or random from the full syllabus.
  • Format: stem + 4 options + correct answer + explanation.
  • Track score in progress.md session log.

mock-exam

  • 45 questions distributed by syllabus weight.
  • Indicative time limit: 90 minutes.
  • Explicit caveat: this does NOT replace external mocks (Udemy / ExamTopics).
  • Score + per-section breakdown.
  • Identify weak sections and suggest follow-up study sessions.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
