c) Library
d) HDFS
View Answer

Answer: d
þÿ Explanation: FileInputFormat splits only large files(Here large means larger than an
HDFS block).

12. Point out the correct statement.

a) The minimum split size is usually 1 byte, although some
formats have a lower bound on the split size
b) Applications may impose a minimum split size
c)
The maximum split size defaults to the maximum value that can be represented by a Java long type
d) All of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: The maximum split size has an effect only when it is less than the block
size, forcing splits to be smaller than a block.

13. Point out the wrong statement.

a) Hadoop works better with a small number of large files than a
large number of small files
b) CombineFileInputFormat is designed to work well with small files
c)
CombineFileInputFormat does not compromise the speed at which it can process the input in a
typical MapReduce job
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: c
þÿ Explanation: If the file is very small ( small means significantly smaller than an HDFS
block) and there are a lot of them, then each map task will process very little input, and there will be
a lot of them (one per file), each of which imposes extra bookkeeping overhead.

9. _________ can be configured per table for non-QUORUM consistency levels.

a) Read repair
b)
Read damage
c) Write repair
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: If the replicas are inconsistent, the coordinator issues writes to the
out-of-date replicas to update the row to the most recent values. This process is known as read
repair.
