Questions 32

Your company is migrating their 30-node Apache Hadoop cluster to the cloud. They want to re-use Hadoop jobs they have already created and minimize the management of the cluster as much as possible. They also want to be able to persist data beyond the life of the cluster. What should you do?

Options:
A.

Create a Google Cloud Dataflow job to process the data.

B.

Create a Google Cloud Dataproc cluster that uses persistent disks for HDFS.

C.

Create a Hadoop cluster on Google Compute Engine that uses persistent disks.

D.

Create a Cloud Dataproc cluster that uses the Google Cloud Storage connector.

E.

Create a Hadoop cluster on Google Compute Engine that uses Local SSD disks.

Questions 33

Your company handles data processing for a number of different clients. Each client prefers to use their own suite of analytics tools, with some allowing direct query access via Google BigQuery. You need to secure the data so that clients cannot see each other’s data. You want to ensure appropriate access to the data. Which three steps should you take? (Choose three.)

Options:
A.

Load data into different partitions.

B.

Load data into a different dataset for each client.

C.

Put each client’s BigQuery dataset into a different table.

D.

Restrict a client’s dataset to approved users.

E.

Only allow a service account to access the datasets.

F.

Use the appropriate identity and access management (IAM) roles for each client’s users.

Questions 34

Your company is running their first dynamic campaign, serving different offers by analyzing real-time data during the holiday season. The data scientists are collecting terabytes of data that rapidly grows every hour during their 30-day campaign. They are using Google Cloud Dataflow to preprocess the data and collect the feature (signals) data that is needed for the machine learning model in Google Cloud Bigtable. The team is observing suboptimal performance with reads and writes of their initial load of 10 TB of data. They want to improve this performance while minimizing cost. What should they do?

Options:
A.

Redefine the schema by evenly distributing reads and writes across the row space of the table.

B.

The performance issue should be resolved over time as the site of the BigDate cluster is increased.

C.

Redesign the schema to use a single row key to identify values that need to be updated frequently in the cluster.

D.

Redesign the schema to use row keys based on numeric IDs that increase sequentially per user viewing the offers.

Questions 35

You have spent a few days loading data from comma-separated values (CSV) files into the Google BigQuery table CLICK_STREAM. The column DT stores the epoch time of click events. For convenience, you chose a simple schema where every field is treated as the STRING type. Now, you want to compute web session durations of users who visit your site, and you want to change its data type to the TIMESTAMP. You want to minimize the migration effort without making future queries computationally expensive. What should you do?

Options:
A.

Delete the table CLICK_STREAM, and then re-create it such that the column DT is of the TIMESTAMP type. Reload the data.

B.

Add a column TS of the TIMESTAMP type to the table CLICK_STREAM, and populate the numeric values from the column TS for each row. Reference the column TS instead of the column DT from now on.

C.

Create a view CLICK_STREAM_V, where strings from the column DT are cast into TIMESTAMP values. Reference the view CLICK_STREAM_V instead of the table CLICK_STREAM from now on.

D.

Add two columns to the table CLICK STREAM: TS of the TIMESTAMP type and IS_NEW of the BOOLEAN type. Reload all data in append mode. For each appended row, set the value of IS_NEW to true. For future queries, reference the column TS instead of the column DT, with the WHERE clause ensuring that the value of IS_NEW must be true.

E.

Construct a query to return every row of the table CLICK_STREAM, while using the built-in function to cast strings from the column DT into TIMESTAMP values. Run the query into a destination table NEW_CLICK_STREAM, in which the column TS is the TIMESTAMP type. Reference the table NEW_CLICK_STREAM instead of the table CLICK_STREAM from now on. In the future, new data is loaded into the table NEW_CLICK_STREAM.

Questions 36

Your company is in a highly regulated industry. One of your requirements is to ensure individual users have access only to the minimum amount of information required to do their jobs. You want to enforce this requirement with Google BigQuery. Which three approaches can you take? (Choose three.)

Options:
A.

Disable writes to certain tables.

B.

Restrict access to tables by role.

C.

Ensure that the data is encrypted at all times.

D.

Restrict BigQuery API access to approved users.

E.

Segregate data across multiple tables or databases.

F.

Use Google Stackdriver Audit Logging to determine policy violations.

Questions 37

Your company is streaming real-time sensor data from their factory floor into Bigtable and they have noticed extremely poor performance. How should the row key be redesigned to improve Bigtable performance on queries that populate real-time dashboards?

Options:
A.

Use a row key of the form .

B.

Use a row key of the form .

C.

Use a row key of the form #.

D.

Use a row key of the form >##.

Questions 38

Your software uses a simple JSON format for all messages. These messages are published to Google Cloud Pub/Sub, then processed with Google Cloud Dataflow to create a real-time dashboard for the CFO. During testing, you notice that some messages are missing in the dashboard. You check the logs, and all messages are being published to Cloud Pub/Sub successfully. What should you do next?

Options:
A.

Check the dashboard application to see if it is not displaying correctly.

B.

Run a fixed dataset through the Cloud Dataflow pipeline and analyze the output.

C.

Use Google Stackdriver Monitoring on Cloud Pub/Sub to find the missing messages.

D.

Switch Cloud Dataflow to pull messages from Cloud Pub/Sub instead of Cloud Pub/Sub pushing messages to Cloud Dataflow.

Questions 39

Your weather app queries a database every 15 minutes to get the current temperature. The frontend is powered by Google App Engine and server millions of users. How should you design the frontend to respond to a database failure?

Options:
A.

Issue a command to restart the database servers.

B.

Retry the query with exponential backoff, up to a cap of 15 minutes.

C.

Retry the query every second until it comes back online to minimize staleness of data.

D.

Reduce the query frequency to once every hour until the database comes back online.

Questions 40

You have Google Cloud Dataflow streaming pipeline running with a Google Cloud Pub/Sub subscription as the source. You need to make an update to the code that will make the new Cloud Dataflow pipeline incompatible with the current version. You do not want to lose any data when making this update. What should you do?

Options:
A.

Update the current pipeline and use the drain flag.

B.

Update the current pipeline and provide the transform mapping JSON object.

C.

Create a new pipeline that has the same Cloud Pub/Sub subscription and cancel the old pipeline.

D.

Create a new pipeline that has a new Cloud Pub/Sub subscription and cancel the old pipeline.
