A data engineer has realized that they made a mistake when making a daily update...

 The VACUUM command is used to remove files that are no longer referenced by a Delta table and are older than the retention threshold1. The default retention period is 7 days2, but it can be changed by setting the delta.logRetentionDuration and delta.deletedFileRetentionDuration configurations3. If the VACUUM command was run on the table with a retention period shorter than 3 days, then the data files that were needed to restore the table to a 3-day-old version would have been deleted. The other commands do not delete data files from the table. The TIME TRAVEL command is used to query a historical version of the table4. The DELETE HISTORY command is not a valid command in Delta Lake. The OPTIMIZE command is used to improve the performance of the table by compacting small files into larger ones5. The HISTORY command is used to retrieve information about the operations performed on the table. References: 1: VACUUM | Databricks on AWS 2: Work with Delta Lake table history | Databricks on AWS 3: [Delta Lake configuration | Databricks on AWS] 4: Work with Delta Lake table history - Azure Databricks 5: [OPTIMIZE | Databricks on AWS] : [HISTORY | Databricks on AWS]
