QUESTION NO: 5

You want to migrate an on-premises Hadoop system to Cloud Dataproc. Hive is the primary tool in use, and the data format
is Optimized Row Columnar (ORC). All ORC files have been successfully copied to a Cloud Storage bucket. You need to
replicate some data to the cluster’s local Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) to maximize performance. What are two
ways to start using Hive in Cloud Dataproc? (Choose two.)

A. Run the gsutil utility to transfer all ORC files from the Cloud Storage bucket to HDFS. Mount the Hive tables locally.

B. Run the gsutil utility to transfer all ORC files from the Cloud Storage bucket to any node of the Dataproc cluster. Mount
the Hive tables locally.

C. Run the gsutil utility to transfer all ORC files from the Cloud Storage bucket to the master node of the Dataproc cluster.
Then run the Hadoop utility to copy them do HDFS. Mount the Hive tables from HDFS.

D. Leverage Cloud Storage connector for Hadoop to mount the ORC files as external Hive tables. Replicate external Hive
tables to the native ones.

E. Load the ORC files into BigQuery. Leverage BigQuery connector for Hadoop to mount the BigQuery tables as external
Hive tables. Replicate external Hive tables to the native ones.

QUESTION NO: 6

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 KB. All files must be ingested on Google Cloud Platform before they can be processed. Your company site has a
200 ms latency to Google Cloud, and your Internet connection bandwidth is limited as 50 Mbps. You currently deploy a
secure FTP (SFTP) server on a virtual machine in Google Compute Engine as the data ingestion point. A local SFTP client
runs on a dedicated machine to transmit the CSV files as is. The goal is to make reports with data from the previous day
available to the executives by 10:00 a.m. each day. This design is barely able to keep up with the current volume, even
though the bandwidth utilization is rather low.

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.)

A. Introduce data compression for each file to increase the rate file of file transfer.

B. Contact your internet service provider (ISP) to increase your maximum bandwidth to at least 100 Mbps.

C. Redesign the data ingestion process to use gsutil tool to send the CSV files to a storage bucket in parallel.

D. Assemble 1,000 files into a tape archive (TAR) file. Transmit the TAR files instead, and disassemble the CSV files in the
cloud upon receiving them.

E. Create an S3-compatible storage endpoint in your network, and use Google Cloud Storage Transfer Service to transfer
on-premises data to the designated storage bucket.

ANSWER: C E

QUESTION NO: 7

You are running a pipeline in Cloud Dataflow that receives messages from a Cloud Pub/Sub topic and writes the results to a
BigQuery dataset in the EU. Currently, your pipeline is located in europe-west4 and has a maximum of 3 workers, instance
type n1-standard-1. You notice that during peak periods, your pipeline is struggling to process records in a timely fashion,
when all 3 workers are at maximum CPU utilization. Which two actions can you take to increase performance of your
pipeline? (Choose two.)

A. Increase the number of max workers

B. Use a larger instance type for your Cloud Dataflow workers

C. Change the zone of your Cloud Dataflow pipeline to run in us-central1

D. Create a temporary table in Cloud Bigtable that will act as a buffer for new data. Create a new step in your pipeline to
write to this table first, and then create a new pipeline to write from Cloud Bigtable to BigQuery

E. Create a temporary table in Cloud Spanner that will act as a buffer for new data. Create a new step in your pipeline to
write to this table first, and then create a new pipeline to write from Cloud Spanner to BigQuery
