Why this matters now
## Workload baseline and bottleneck pattern
### Scenario
<Describe the workload shape: data size, query pattern, scheduling model, and latency/throughput goals.>
### Pain point
## What changed in Fabric Runtime
<Explain the capability, enhancement, or feature and where it fits in Spark execution.>
## How the enhancement improves Spark execution
### Mechanism
<Describe execution-level behavior changes, such as shuffle handling, partitioning, planning, caching, memory use, or adaptive strategy updates.>
### Practical effect
<Explain expected directional impact on runtime, stability, or cost efficiency.>
## Implementation guidance in Fabric
### Configuration and defaults
### Code or notebook guidance
## Validation approach and expected impact
### Before and after framing
### Metrics to watch
- Job duration
- Stage retries and failures
- Shuffle read/write volume
- Spill to disk
- Skewed task distribution
## Operational caveats and anti-patterns
- <Caveat 1>
- <Caveat 2>
- <Anti-pattern 1>
## Adoption checklist
- [ ] Confirm baseline metrics for representative workload windows
- [ ] Roll out to non-critical pipelines first
- [ ] Verify impact under peak concurrency
- [ ] Update runbooks with new defaults and fallback settings
