Scaling ML inference on Databricks often fails not because of model complexity, but due to poor data layout. When a 420-core cluster sits idle while a few executors process millions of skewed rows, you have a partitioning nightmare. Learn how to use dynamic salting and liquid clustering to maximize cluster utilization and performance.
