Feb 1, 2026February 2026 monthly performance summary for hmcts/ARIAMigration-Databrick. This period focused on stabilizing data processing, enhancing data quality, and delivering key capabilities to support case processing workflows and reporting. Key features delivered - MoneyGBP fields updated and associated tests added, improving currency accuracy and financial validation across cases. - Implemented Databricks Active Case Linking to enable faster, traceable connections between related cases in the analytics layer. - Added pipelines and tests for CaseUnderReview and ReasonForAppealSubmitted to strengthen workflow coverage and ensure end-to-end scenario validation. - Added state-to-output_name mapping in the active CCD publish Hive store reading, enabling consistent data routing and reporting across states. - Refactored DQ Rules across all states to improve consistency, reduce conditional drift, and simplify future maintenance. Major bugs fixed - Resolved issue with leftover TargetState and HighLevelSegment in states, eliminating stale state data and reducing processing errors. - Dropped non-mobile numbers from sponsor and internal appellant mobile number fields to improve contact data quality. - Fixed appealSubmitted payment and remissions DQ checks to ensure accurate validation and reporting. - Fixed localAuthorityPolicy organisationalDetails type and enforced type handling for NULL literals, improving data integrity. - Fixed out-of-country address tests for legalRepresentatives to align with real-world address scenarios. - Various DQ and data handling fixes (e.g., appellantLanguage checks, appealOutOfCountry, paymentPending rules, PFH hearingResponse logic with tests, Array(NullType) handling with no transactions, NULL DQ rules, preserving null is_valid on stg_invalid, decision_dq_rules wiring, and fpta/ftpa type corrections) to enhance reliability and correctness. Overall impact and accomplishments - Significantly improved data quality, reliability, and governance for case processing analytics. - Enabled more robust end-to-end workflows (From data ingestion to decision reporting) with higher confidence in DQ validation. - Strengthened capabilities for cross-state consistency, auditable data lineage, and faster issue resolution in production. - Prepared the platform for upcoming features like automated case linking and enhanced reporting, driving better business decision speed and accuracy. Technologies and skills demonstrated - Databricks / Spark-based data pipelines and notebooks, with improved DQ rule implementation and testing. - Hive store read paths and output_name mappings for enhanced data routing. - Data quality engineering, data modeling adjustments, and test-driven development for complex workflows. - Cross-functional collaboration to align data definitions and validation rules with business processes.
