Research direction

Start by reproducing a CREATE OR REFRESH STREAMING TABLE submission through the Node.js SDK and compare its behavior with the same command in the Databricks SQL editor. Investigate why the SDK-created table disappears after 30 minutes despite no DROP statement; done means identifying the cause and verifying that an SDK-created streaming table persists.

Description

i am building an integration where i am submitting SQL to databricks via this SDK.

when i submit a CREATE OR REFRESH STREAMING TABLE command, it completes... but 30 minutes later, it just disappears from databricks completely.

when i create streaming tables via the sql editor in the databricks console, it seems to stick around, no problem.

i triple checked, and there are no DROP statements, or anything that we are doing to remove the streaming table.
