What

  • fixes a versioning issue with the mc entrypoint command in the docker file
    • Before, it was running an outdated config command that prevented the catalog from being created. The user impact was that no magic SQL commands in the notebooks could be run
    • Now, it's been fixed so the catalog creates seamlessly and magic SQL can be run in the notebooks
  • fix: correct spelling on analyze_datelist query filename
  • fix: clarify that incremental and cumulative are not so different in hw2

Context for changes on the homework

In hw2 for fact data modeling, you have two separate questions:

- A cumulative query to generate `device_activity_datelist` from `events`
- The incremental query to generate `host_activity_datelist`, similar to the cumulative query you did to generate `device_activity_datelist` from `events`

I confused myself thinking these must be very different methods given they use different words (cumulative vs. incremental), but I ended up with similar methods. If this is what you intended, I think some clarification is warranted here

@EcZachly somewhat urgent fix for the mc setup that all students will need for module 3

The Docker part is already updated. Thanks, other than that, no significant change. Closing it.
