Professional-Data-Engineer Practice Exam Questions and Answers

Your company produces 20,000 files every hour. Each data file is formatted as a comma separated values (CSV) file that is less than 4 K

B.  

You are told that due to seasonality, your company expects the number of files to double for the next three months. Which two actions should you take? (choose two.)

MJTelco’s Google Cloud Dataflow pipeline is now ready to start receiving data from the 50,000 installations. You want to allow Cloud Dataflow to scale its compute power up as required. Which Cloud Dataflow pipeline configuration setting should you update?

You are deploying a new storage system for your mobile application, which is a media streaming service. You decide the best fit is Google Cloud Datastore. You have entities with multiple properties, some of which can take on multiple values. For example, in the entity ‘Movie’ the property ‘actors’ and the property ‘tags’ have multiple values but the property ‘date released’ does not. A typical query would ask for all movies with actor= ordered by date_released or all movies with tag=Comedy ordered by date_released. How should you avoid a combinatorial explosion in the number of indexes?

You create a new report for your large team in Google Data Studio 360. The report uses Google BigQuery as its data source. It is company policy to ensure employees can view only the data associated with their region, so you create and populate a table for each region. You need to enforce the regional access policy to the data.

Which two actions should you take? (Choose two.)

MJTelco needs you to create a schema in Google Bigtable that will allow for the historical analysis of the last 2 years of records. Each record that comes in is sent every 15 minutes, and contains a unique identifier of the device and a data record. The most common query is for all the data for a given device for a given day. Which schema should you use?

MJTelco is building a custom interface to share data. They have these requirements:

They need to do aggregations over their petabyte-scale datasets.

They need to scan specific time range rows with a very fast response time (milliseconds).

Which combination of Google Cloud Platform products should you recommend?

You need to compose visualizations for operations teams with the following requirements:

Which approach meets the requirements?

You need to compose visualization for operations teams with the following requirements:

Telemetry must include data from all 50,000 installations for the most recent 6 weeks (sampling once every minute)

The report must not be more than 3 hours delayed from live data.

The actionable report should only show suboptimal links.

Most suboptimal links should be sorted to the top.

Suboptimal links can be grouped and filtered by regional geography.

User response time to load the report must be <5 seconds.

You create a data source to store the last 6 weeks of data, and create visualizations that allow viewers to see multiple date ranges, distinct geographic regions, and unique installation types. You always show the latest data without any changes to your visualizations. You want to avoid creating and updating new visualizations each month. What should you do?

Given the record streams MJTelco is interested in ingesting per day, they are concerned about the cost of Google BigQuery increasing. MJTelco asks you to provide a design solution. They require a single large data table called tracking_table. Additionally, they want to minimize the cost of daily queries while performing fine-grained analysis of each day’s events. They also want to use streaming ingestion. What should you do?

Your organization has been collecting and analyzing data in Google BigQuery for 6 months. The majority of the data analyzed is placed in a time-partitioned table namedevents_partitioned. To reduce the cost of queries, your organization created a view calledevents, which queries only the last 14 days of data. The view is described in legacy SQL. Next month, existing applications will be connecting to BigQuery to read theeventsdata via an ODBC connection. You need to ensure the applications can connect. Which two actions should you take? (Choose two.)
