I have 2 separate notebooks with high concurreny sessions running.
Both have the omnis_silver_lh.instrument table.
In one notebook, it shows that I have data that I just inserted
In another notebooks it shows that the same omnis_silver_lh.instrument table has no data.
Also, the omnis_silver_lh.instrument table view in the Lakehouse shows no data
How can this be??
I logged out, logged in, stopped both sessions and restarted etc etc.
Solved! Go to Solution.
The problem turned out to be that the default Lakehouse dictates what the Spark catalog can see.
So when I was updating what I thought was omnis_silver_lh in workspace B, it was actually updating it in workspace A.
In the second screenshot, when I list all the databases in the spark catalog it lists the ones from workspace A because the default lakehouse is omnis_bronze_lh which is in workspace A.
In the first screenshot, when I switched the default lakehouse so now it's omnis_silver_lh2 and list the databases in the spark catalog, it shows the ones from workspace B.
This is super confusing

If you just added data, it can be a sync time between artifacts.
Try to refresh lakehouse on the top rubban, then in each notebooks also, refresh lakehouse tables by clicking in the 3 dots > Refresh :
Hope it can help you !

I've tried all that and I waited an hour.
