4. Performance Tuning Correct

Multiple Choice Easy Performance Tuning

Question description

Which of the following Snowflake features can be used to boost the efficiency of complex queries with several joins and
subqueries?

Interviewer guidelines
Precomputed views, called materialised views, enable for quicker access to data by storing the results of a query in a
table-like format. By generating precomputed views of the data used in the queries, materialised views can be used to
enhance the efficiency of complex queries with several joins and subqueries. This lessens the requirement for
processing the same data again and enhances query performance.

Candidate's Solution

Options: (Expected answer indicated with a tick)

Snowpipe, which provides continuous data ingestion into a data warehouse

external functions, which allow users to run custom code outside of Snowflake and integrate the

results into their queries

data sharing, which allows for the sharing of data between different Snowflake accounts

Candidate Report Page 8 of 36

 Siddhesh Kalgaonkar

Question description

A data engineer needs to ingest data in Databricks after every five minutes for the next sixty days. The engineer has
decided to use the advanced feature Auto Loader instead of COPY INTO.

What could be the reason for this?

Interviewer guidelines
Auto Loader is specifically designed for structured streaming workloads in Databricks. It is optimized to handle
continuous and incremental data ingestion, making it well-suited for scenarios where data needs to be ingested every
five minutes for a long duration. By leveraging structured streaming capabilities, Auto Loader processes the incoming
data in multiple batches, allowing for efficient loading and handling of re-uploaded data. This means that if a portion
of the data has already been ingested in a previous batch, Auto Loader will only process and load the new or modified
data, minimizing redundant processing and improving performance

Candidate's Solution

Options: (Expected answer indicated with a tick)

Autoloader is made for structured streaming. Also, it splits the processing into multiple batches

which helps to load a subset of re-uploaded a bit easier.

Autoloader is expensive for large data but provides better primitives around schema inference and

evolution.

Autoloader provides the additional layer of security which supersedes COPY INTO.

Auto Loader provides an additional protective layer, but COPY INTO does not.

7. Data Warehousing Incorrect

Multiple Choice Data Warehouse Database Easy

Question description

A healthcare organization that has recently migrated its data warehouse to Snowflake wants to design the schema
for storing patient records including patient demographics, medical history, and medication orders.

Which of the following Snowflake schema design options is most suitable in this situation?

Interviewer guidelines

Candidate Report Page 10 of 36

 Siddhesh Kalgaonkar

Snowflake does not require primary keys, although they are still a good idea for indexing and data structure. In this
instance, the patient id is the ideal primary key because it is an exclusive identifier for every patient. The ideal schema
design is Option 2, which uses the patient id as the primary key without adding any extra indexing or partitioning that
can slow down queries.

Candidate's Solution

Options: (Expected answer indicated with a tick)

<pre> <code class="language-sql">CREATE TABLE patients( patient_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,

Question description

A video streaming service aims to expand its presence globally. With a vast and growing volume of high-definition
videos and the demand for low-latency streaming, the company's IT team seeks to optimize its cloud storage solution.
They prioritize rapid content delivery, durability of data, cost-effectiveness, and the capability of analytics and machine
learning operations on this data. Which storage configuration best meets these requirements?

Interviewer guidelines
Implementing Amazon S3 Standard storage class ensures quick access to video content. Integrating with Amazon
Redshift Spectrum offers efficient analytics directly on the S3 data, making it suitable for future machine learning
operations. While in Option 1, the use of Kinesis Video Streams focuses more on real-time video analytics. While
analytics is part of the requirements, the scenario also mentions the need for future machine learning operations on
the stored data

i.name=o.order_item) select * from orderdb where quantity=(select max(quantity) from orderdb)

What is the output of this query?

Interviewer guidelines
The query starts by creating a recursive common table expression (CTE) named "orderdb". The CTE uses a JOIN
operation to combine the 'inventory' and 'orders' tables, and it returns the item number, quantity, customer_id, and
order_id for each order item.

14. Databricks Job Configuration Incorrect

Multiple Choice Spark Databricks Jobs Azure Datalake Azure Workflow Medium

Question description

User A is responsible for managing and monitoring 12 production jobs that transfer data to Azure Data Lake (ADL)
which are utilized by the data science team at a large e-commerce store. One day, User A noticed that Job 6 took much
longer than expected, resulting in delays for subsequent jobs and disrupting the team's workflow.

What should User A do to prevent such issues from occurring in the future?

Interviewer guidelines
In order to avoid delays in subsequent jobs due to slow or stalled jobs, User A should create new shared or task-
scoped clusters. These clusters ensure that each job runs in a completely isolated environment, preventing resource
contention and allowing jobs to run independently. Option 1, terminating the current job and manually running the
next job, is not a scalable solution and may result in unnecessary downtime. Option 2, including data quality checks
before each job, is important but does not directly address the issue of job delays. Option 4, increasing the number of
worker nodes, may be helpful but is not as effective as creating new clusters for each job. Therefore, the correct
answer is option 3.

Candidate's Solution

Options: (Expected answer indicated with a tick)

Immediately terminate the current job and run the next job manually.

Include data quality checks before each job to prevent such problems.

16. Python: Fancy tuple Correct

Coding Python Strings Medium OOPS Exception Handling Collections

Question description

Implement the class FancyTuple.

The constructor takes 0 to 5 parameters.
The elements of FancyTuple can be accessed as named properties: first , second , third , fourth , and fifth . The
expression FancyTuple("dog", "cat").first returns "dog" and FancyTuple("dog", "cat").second returns "cat".
An AttributeError exception is raised if a nonexistent element of the tuple is accessed. The expression
FancyTuple("dog", "cat").third raises an AttributeError exception.
len(FancyTuple) returns the number of elements. len(FancyTuple("dog", "cat")) returns 2.

Your implementations of the class will be tested by a provided code stub on several input files. Each input file
contains parameters to test your implementation with. First, the provided code stub initializes the instance of
FancyTuple. Next, it tests the implementation by accessing its elements and checking its length. The result of their
executions will be printed to the standard output by the provided code.

INPUT FORMAT FORMAT FOR CUSTOM TESTING

Input from stdin will be processed as follows and passed to the function.

The first line has the integer n, the number of elements in the tuple.
The next n lines contain the elements of the tuple.
The following line has the integer q, the number of operations to be performed on a FancyTuple instance.
The next q lines contain the standalone operations to be performed on the FancyTuple.

Explanation 0
The code initializes t = FancyTuple("dog", "cat", "mouse"). Then, there are 6 operations to be performed:
1. t.first returns "dog" because "dog" is the first element of the tuple.
2. t.second returns "cat" because "cat" is the second element of the tuple.
3. t.third returns "mouse" because "mouse" is the third element of the tuple.
4. t.fourth raises the AttributeError exception because the tuple has 3 elements.
5. t.fifth raises the AttributeError exception because the tuple has 3 elements.
6. len(t) returns 3 because the tuple has 3 elements.

Question description

In NLP, stop words are commonly used words like "a", "is", and "the". They are typically filtered out during processing.

Implement a function that takes a string text and an integer k, and returns the list of words that occur in the text at
least k times. The words must be returned in the order of their first occurrence in the text.

Example
text = "a mouse is smaller than a dog but a dog is stronger"
k=2

The list of stop words that occur at least k = 2 times is ["a", "is", "dog"]. "a" occurs 3 times, "is" and "dog" both occur 2
times. No other word occurs at least 2 times. The answer is in order of first appearance in text.
