Question 1: Correct

Your data engineering team has an Azure Stream Analytics job in place. Currently the
job is configured to take in events from an Azure Event Hub. It then outputs data to an
Azure Dedicated SQL pool within Azure Synapse Analytics. The engineers have been
reviewing the metrics. They are seeing a high number of Backlogged input events.
Which of the following can be done to ensure the Backlogged input events are kept in
check?
● Add another output to the Stream Analytics job
● Change the partition key of the incoming stream
● Add another input to the Stream Analytics job
● Increase the number of streaming units assigned to the job
● (Correct)
Explanation
One reason for a high value of Backlogged Inputs events could be because the job is not
able to keep up with the incoming stream. By adding more streaming units , it can help
to add more resources to ensure the job can keep up with the incoming streams.

in the same. The output scheme is then matching the input stream scheme key

Question 39: Incorrect
You have to develop the SQL statement for an Azure Stream Analytics Job. The Job will
take inputs from two separate Azure Event Hubs. And then write the data to a table in a
Dedicated SQL pool in an Azure Synapse Analytics workspace.

Below is the script that needs to be completed

Which of the following would go into Area 2?
● TIMESTAMP
● CreatedAt
● (Incorrect)
● LogID
● (Correct)
Explanation
Here the data is being repartitioned based on the LogID that could be part of the input
data stream. You have to ensure that the stream scheme key and count of each stream
in the same. The output scheme is then matching the input stream scheme key

● Create a notebook in the cluster with the cluster configuration
● Pin the cluster
● (Correct)
● Configure the cluster init scripts
Explanation
If you want to maintain the configuration of the cluster, you just need to Pin the cluster.

Question 41: Correct
Your team has an Azure Data Lake Gen2 storage account. Continuous Time
series-based data is going to be streamed into the Data Lake Gen2 storage account.
Which of the following is the right design pattern to follow when it comes to the folder
structure and file naming convention for the streaming data?
● \YYYY\MM\DD\DataSet\datafile_YYYY_MM_DD.csv
● \DataSet\YYYY\MM\DD\datafile_YYYY_MM_DD.csv
● (Correct)
● \DataSet\datafile_YYYY_MM_DD.csv
Explanation
The recommendation is to ensure to have a parent folder that could specify the data
source or the data set for the data. Then the format of the child folders needs to be in
the form of the year , then the month and then the day. And then finally you have the file.

Question 42: Correct
Your team currently has an Azure Stream Analytics job in place. The job is used to take
in data being streamed via Azure Event Hubs. Here log-based metrics from an
application is being streamed from Azure Event Hubs onto the Stream Analytics job.

You have to find the difference in time between the First and the Final Event in the
stream over a 2-hour duration.

You have to complete the below script for this requirement

Which of the following should come in Area 1?

● LIMIT
● LAST
● COLLATE
● DATEDIFF
● (Correct)
Explanation
Here we need to use the DATEDIFF function to find the time difference

This question is based on the example in the below documentation link

You have to complete the below script for this requirement

Which of the following should come in Area 2?

 ● LIMIT
● LAST
● (Correct)
● COLLATE
● DATEDIFF
Explanation
Here we use the LAST function to retrieve the last event

This question is based on the example in the below documentation link

You have to complete the below script for this requirement

Which of the following should come in Area 3?

● LIMIT
● (Correct)
● LAST
 ● COLLATE
● (Incorrect)
● DATEDIFF
Explanation
Since we need to search within the last 2 hours , we use the LIMIT function here.

Question 45: Incorrect
Your team needs to create an external table in an Azure Synapse Serverless SQL pool.
The table will be used to query parquet-based files in an Azure Data Lake Gen2 storage
account. Currently the storage account container is configured as shown below

You have to ensure the Serverless SQL Pool has the right authorization to query the data
in the storage account. Which of the following would you create for this requirement?
● An encryption key
● (Incorrect)
● An Azure Databricks scoped secret
● A database scoped credential
● (Correct)
Explanation
Here we need to create a database scoped credential that would have the right
authorization such as Shared Access Signatures. This would allow the external table to
query the data in the Azure Data Lake Gen2 storage account.
