Explanation

Databricks Auto Loader simplifies and automates the process of loading data into Delta Lake. The default execution mode of the Auto Loader identifies new files by listing the input directory. It incrementally and idempotently loads these new files into the target Delta Lake table. This approach ensures that files are not missed and are processed exactly once, avoiding data duplication. The other options describe different mechanisms or integrations that are not part of the default behavior of the Auto Loader.
