NEW QUESTION 1

You have an Azure event hub named retailhub that has 16 partitions. Transactions are posted to retailhub. Each transaction includes the transaction ID, the individual line items, and the payment details. The transaction ID is used as the partition key.
You are designing an Azure Stream Analytics job to identify potentially fraudulent transactions at a retail store. The job will use retailhub as the input. The job will output the transaction ID, the individual line items, the payment details, a fraud score, and a fraud indicator.
You plan to send the output to an Azure event hub named fraudhub.
You need to ensure that the fraud detection solution is highly scalable and processes transactions as quickly as possible.
How should you structure the output of the Stream Analytics job? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

• A. Mastered
• B. Not Mastered

Answer: A

Explanation:
Box 1: 16
For Event Hubs you need to set the partition key explicitly.
An embarrassingly parallel job is the most scalable scenario in Azure Stream Analytics. It connects one partition of the input to one instance of the query to one partition of the output.

Which technologies should you use? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

• A. Mastered
• B. Not Mastered

Answer: A

Explanation:
Data storage: Azure Data Lake Store
A key mechanism that allows Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 to provide file system performance at object storage scale and prices is the addition of a hierarchical namespace. This allows the collection of objects/files within an account to be organized into a hierarchy of directories and nested subdirectories in the same way that the file system on your computer is organized. With the hierarchical namespace enabled, a storage account becomes capable of providing the scalability and cost-effectiveness of object storage, with file system semantics that are familiar to analytics engines and frameworks.
Batch processing: HD Insight Spark
Aparch Spark is an open-source, parallel-processing framework that supports in-memory processing to boost the performance of big-data analysis applications.
HDInsight is a managed Hadoop service. Use it deploy and manage Hadoop clusters in Azure. For batch processing, you can use Spark, Hive, Hive LLAP, MapReduce.
Languages: R, Python, Java, Scala, SQL Analytic data store: SQL Data Warehouse
SQL Data Warehouse is a cloud-based Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) that uses Massively Parallel Processing (MPP).
SQL Data Warehouse stores data into relational tables with columnar storage. References:

NEW QUESTION 5

You configure monitoring for a Microsoft Azure SQL Data Warehouse implementation. The implementation uses PolyBase to load data from comma-separated value (CSV) files stored in Azure Data Lake Gen 2 using an external table.
Files with an invalid schema cause errors to occur. You need to monitor for an invalid schema error. For which error should you monitor?

• A. EXTERNAL TABLE access failed due to internal error: 'Java exception raised on call to HdfsBridge_Connect: Error[com.microsoft.polybase.client.KerberosSecureLogin] occurred while accessing external files.'
• B. EXTERNAL TABLE access failed due to internal error: 'Java exception raised on call to HdfsBridge_Connect: Error [No FileSystem for scheme: wasbs] occurred while accessing external file.'
• C. Cannot execute the query "Remote Query" against OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI11": for linked server "(null)", Query aborted- the maximum reject threshold (orows) was reached while regarding from an external source: 1 rows rejected out of total 1 rows processed.
• D. EXTERNAL TABLE access failed due to internal error: 'Java exception raised on call to HdfsBridge_Connect: Error [Unable to instantiate LoginClass] occurredwhile accessing external files.'

Answer: C

Explanation:
Customer Scenario:
SQL Server 2016 or SQL DW connected to Azure blob storage. The CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE DDL points to a directory (and not a specific file) and the directory contains files with different schemas.
SSMS Error:
Select query on the external table gives the following error: Msg 7320, Level 16, State 110, Line 14
Cannot execute the query "Remote Query" against OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI11" for linked server "(null)". Query aborted-- the maximum reject threshold (0 rows) was reached while reading from an external source: 1 rows rejected out of total 1 rows processed.
Possible Reason:
The reason this error happens is because each file has different schema. The PolyBase external table DDL when pointed to a directory recursively reads all the files in that directory. When a column or data type mismatch happens, this error could be seen in SSMS.
Possible Solution:
If the data for each table consists of one file, then use the filename in the LOCATION section prepended by the directory of the external files. If there are multiple files per table, put each set of files into different directories in Azure Blob Storage and then you can point LOCATION to the directory instead of a particular
file. The latter suggestion is the best practices recommended by SQLCAT even if you have one file per table.

NEW QUESTION 9

You are monitoring an Azure Stream Analytics job.
The Backlogged Input Events count has been 20 for the last hour. You need to reduce the Backlogged Input Events count.
What should you do?

• A. Drop late arriving events from the job.
• B. Add an Azure Storage account to the job.
• C. Increase the streaming units for the job.
• D. Stop the job.

Answer: C

Explanation:
General symptoms of the job hitting system resource limits include:
If the backlog event metric keeps increasing, it’s an indicator that the system resource is constrained (either because of output sink throttling, or high CPU).
Note: Backlogged Input Events: Number of input events that are backlogged. A non-zero value for this metric implies that your job isn't able to keep up with the number of incoming events. If this value is slowly increasing or consistently non-zero, you should scale out your job: adjust Streaming Units.

NEW QUESTION 12

You have the following Azure Stream Analytics query.

For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

• A. Mastered
• B. Not Mastered

Answer: A

Explanation:
Box 1: Yes
You can now use a new extension of Azure Stream Analytics SQL to specify the number of partitions of a stream when reshuffling the data.
The outcome is a stream that has the same partition scheme. Please see below for an example: WITH step1 AS (SELECT * FROM [input1] PARTITION BY DeviceID INTO 10),
step2 AS (SELECT * FROM [input2] PARTITION BY DeviceID INTO 10)
SELECT * INTO [output] FROM step1 PARTITION BY DeviceID UNION step2 PARTITION BY DeviceID Note: The new extension of Azure Stream Analytics SQL includes a keyword INTO that allows you to specify
the number of partitions for a stream when performing reshuffling using a PARTITION BY statement.
Box 2: Yes
When joining two streams of data explicitly repartitioned, these streams must have the same partition key and partition count.
Box 3: Yes
10 partitions x six SUs = 60 SUs is fine.
Note: Remember, Streaming Unit (SU) count, which is the unit of scale for Azure Stream Analytics, must be adjusted so the number of physical resources available to the job can fit the partitioned flow. In general, six SUs is a good number to assign to each partition. In case there are insufficient resources assigned to the job, the system will only apply the repartition if it benefits the job.

After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen.
You plan to create an Azure Databricks workspace that has a tiered structure. The workspace will contain the following three workloads:
A workload for data engineers who will use Python and SQL.
A workload for jobs that will run notebooks that use Python, Scala, and SOL.
A workload that data scientists will use to perform ad hoc analysis in Scala and R.
The enterprise architecture team at your company identifies the following standards for Databricks environments:
The data engineers must share a cluster.
The job cluster will be managed by using a request process whereby data scientists and data engineers provide packaged notebooks for deployment to the cluster.
All the data scientists must be assigned their own cluster that terminates automatically after 120 minutes of inactivity. Currently, there are three data scientists.
You need to create the Databricks clusters for the workloads.
Solution: You create a High Concurrency cluster for each data scientist, a High Concurrency cluster for the data engineers, and a Standard cluster for the jobs.
Does this meet the goal?

• A. Yes
• B. No

Answer: B

Explanation:
Need a High Concurrency cluster for the jobs.
Standard clusters are recommended for a single user. Standard can run workloads developed in any language: Python, R, Scala, and SQL.
A high concurrency cluster is a managed cloud resource. The key benefits of high concurrency clusters are that they provide Apache Spark-native fine-grained sharing for maximum resource utilization and minimum query latencies.

NEW QUESTION 18

You are creating an Azure Data Factory data flow that will ingest data from a CSV file, cast columns to specified types of data, and insert the data into a table in an Azure Synapse Analytic dedicated SQL pool. The CSV file contains three columns named username, comment, and date.
The data flow already contains the following:
A source transformation.
A Derived Column transformation to set the appropriate types of data.
A sink transformation to land the data in the pool.
You need to ensure that the data flow meets the following requirements:
All valid rows must be written to the destination table.
Truncation errors in the comment column must be avoided proactively.
Any rows containing comment values that will cause truncation errors upon insert must be written to a file in blob storage.
Which two actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

• A. To the data flow, add a sink transformation to write the rows to a file in blob storage.
• B. To the data flow, add a Conditional Split transformation to separate the rows that will cause truncation errors.
• C. To the data flow, add a filter transformation to filter out rows that will cause truncation errors.
• D. Add a select transformation to select only the rows that will cause truncation errors.

Answer: AB

Explanation:
B: Example:
* 1. This conditional split transformation defines the maximum length of "title" to be five. Any row that is less than or equal to five will go into the GoodRows stream. Any row that is larger than five will go into the BadRows stream.

* 2. This conditional split transformation defines the maximum length of "title" to be five. Any row that is less than or equal to five will go into the GoodRows stream. Any row that is larger than five will go into the BadRows stream.
A:
* 3. Now we need to log the rows that failed. Add a sink transformation to the BadRows stream for logging. Here, we'll "auto-map" all of the fields so that we have logging of the complete transaction record. This is a text-delimited CSV file output to a single file in Blob Storage. We'll call the log file "badrows.csv".

* 4. The completed data flow is shown below. We are now able to split off error rows to avoid the SQL truncation errors and put those entries into a log file. Meanwhile, successful rows can continue to write to our target database.
