A developer is migrating an existing Spark application to use Spark Connect. The application uses a UDF that is defined in a JAR file. The developer wants to ensure the UDF is available on the server. What should they do?

Include the JAR in the client's classpath and it will be automatically transferred to the server.

Use a UDF that is defined in Python instead of Java.

Register the UDF on the client and it will be sent with each query.

Add the JAR to the server's classpath or use the server's dependency management to make it available.

A team is running a Spark Connect server that is experiencing high latency for all clients. They suspect that a single client is running a large number of queries and saturating the server. They want to ensure fair resource usage without disrupting other clients. What should they do?

Ask the client to reduce their query load manually.

Move the Spark Connect server to a larger machine.

Restart the Spark Connect server to clear the backlog.

Configure resource limits and quotas on the Spark Connect server to cap the number of concurrent queries per client.

What is the primary purpose of Spark Connect?

To decouple the Spark client from the Spark server, enabling remote connections

To provide a new storage format for Spark DataFrames

To replace the Spark UI with a new monitoring interface

To replace the Spark SQL engine with a new query optimizer
