Explanation
To create a Unity Catalog-enabled all-purpose cluster, the cluster must be attached to a Unity Catalog-enabled workspace, configured with an appropriate access mode (Single User or Shared), and assigned a Unity Catalog metastore. These configurations ensure that the cluster can interact with Unity Catalog for metadata management and access control.
- A. Incorrect.
There is no specific 'Unity Catalog' option in the cluster configuration. Unity Catalog is enabled through access mode, workspace, and metastore configurations.
- B. Correct.
Unity Catalog functionality is tied to a workspace that is enabled for Unity Catalog. Without attaching the cluster to such a workspace, Unity Catalog cannot be utilized.
- C. Correct.
To use Unity Catalog, the cluster must use a supported access mode, such as Single User or Shared. Unsupported modes like No Isolation prevent Unity Catalog integration.
- D. Correct.
A Unity Catalog metastore must be assigned to the cluster to manage metadata and govern data access.
- E. Incorrect.
Table ACLs are not configured directly in the cluster settings. Unity Catalog handles access control through the metastore and workspace configuration.
