NEW QUESTION 1

Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some question sets might have more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution.
After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen.
You plan to create an Azure Databricks workspace that has a tiered structure. The workspace will contain the following three workloads:
A workload for data engineers who will use Python and SQL.
A workload for jobs that will run notebooks that use Python, Scala, and SOL.
A workload that data scientists will use to perform ad hoc analysis in Scala and R.
The enterprise architecture team at your company identifies the following standards for Databricks environments:
The data engineers must share a cluster.
The job cluster will be managed by using a request process whereby data scientists and data engineers provide packaged notebooks for deployment to the cluster.
All the data scientists must be assigned their own cluster that terminates automatically after 120 minutes of inactivity. Currently, there are three data scientists.
You need to create the Databricks clusters for the workloads.
Solution: You create a High Concurrency cluster for each data scientist, a High Concurrency cluster for the data engineers, and a Standard cluster for the jobs.
Does this meet the goal?

• A. Yes
• B. No

Answer: B

Explanation:
Need a High Concurrency cluster for the jobs.
Standard clusters are recommended for a single user. Standard can run workloads developed in any language: Python, R, Scala, and SQL.
A high concurrency cluster is a managed cloud resource. The key benefits of high concurrency clusters are that they provide Apache Spark-native fine-grained sharing for maximum resource utilization and minimum query latencies.

Which two components should you include in the solution? Each correct answer presents part of the solution. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

• A. sensitivity-classification labels applied to columns that contain confidential information
• B. resource tags for databases that contain confidential information
• C. audit logs sent to a Log Analytics workspace
• D. dynamic data masking for columns that contain confidential information

Answer: AC

Explanation:
A: You can classify columns manually, as an alternative or in addition to the recommendation-based classification:

Select Add classification in the top menu of the pane.
In the context window that opens, select the schema, table, and column that you want to classify, and the information type and sensitivity label.
Select Add classification at the bottom of the context window.
C: An important aspect of the information-protection paradigm is the ability to monitor access to sensitive data. Azure SQL Auditing has been enhanced to include a new field in the audit log called data_sensitivity_information. This field logs the sensitivity classifications (labels) of the data that was returned by a query. Here's an example:

NEW QUESTION 9

You have an Azure Synapse workspace named MyWorkspace that contains an Apache Spark database named mytestdb.
You run the following command in an Azure Synapse Analytics Spark pool in MyWorkspace. CREATE TABLE mytestdb.myParquetTable(
EmployeeID int, EmployeeName string, EmployeeStartDate date) USING Parquet
You then use Spark to insert a row into mytestdb.myParquetTable. The row contains the following data.

One minute later, you execute the following query from a serverless SQL pool in MyWorkspace. SELECT EmployeeID
FROM mytestdb.dbo.myParquetTable WHERE name = 'Alice';
What will be returned by the query?

• A. 24
• B. an error
• C. a null value

Answer: A

Explanation:
Once a database has been created by a Spark job, you can create tables in it with Spark that use Parquet as the storage format. Table names will be converted to lower case and need to be queried using the lower case name. These tables will immediately become available for querying by any of the Azure Synapse workspace Spark pools. They can also be used from any of the Spark jobs subject to permissions.
Note: For external tables, since they are synchronized to serverless SQL pool asynchronously, there will be a delay until they appear.

NEW QUESTION 14

You need to create an Azure Data Factory pipeline to process data for the following three departments at your company: Ecommerce, retail, and wholesale. The solution must ensure that data can also be processed for the entire company.
How should you complete the Data Factory data flow script? To answer, drag the appropriate values to the correct targets. Each value may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

• A. Mastered
• B. Not Mastered

Answer: A

Explanation:
The conditional split transformation routes data rows to different streams based on matching conditions. The conditional split transformation is similar to a CASE decision structure in a programming language. The transformation evaluates expressions, and based on the results, directs the data row to the specified stream.
Box 1: dept=='ecommerce', dept=='retail', dept=='wholesale'
First we put the condition. The order must match the stream labeling we define in Box 3. Syntax:
<incomingStream> split(
<conditionalExpression1>
<conditionalExpression2>
disjoint: {true | false}
) ~> <splitTx>@(stream1, stream2, ..., <defaultStream>)
Box 2: discount : false
disjoint is false because the data goes to the first matching condition. All remaining rows matching the third condition go to output stream all.
Box 3: ecommerce, retail, wholesale, all Label the streams

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/data-flow-conditional-split

NEW QUESTION 15

What should you recommend using to secure sensitive customer contact information?

• A. data labels
• B. column-level security
• C. row-level security
• D. Transparent Data Encryption (TDE)

Answer: B

Explanation:
Scenario: All cloud data must be encrypted at rest and in transit.
Always Encrypted is a feature designed to protect sensitive data stored in specific database columns from access (for example, credit card numbers, national identification numbers, or data on a need to know basis). This includes database administrators or other privileged users who are authorized to access the database to perform management tasks, but have no business need to access the particular data in the encrypted columns. The data is always encrypted, which means the encrypted data is decrypted only for processing by client applications with access to the encryption key.

NEW QUESTION 16

You are building an Azure Analytics query that will receive input data from Azure IoT Hub and write the results to Azure Blob storage.
You need to calculate the difference in readings per sensor per hour.
How should you complete the query? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

• A. Mastered
• B. Not Mastered

Answer: A

Explanation:
Box 1: LAG
The LAG analytic operator allows one to look up a “previous” event in an event stream, within certain constraints. It is very useful for computing the rate of growth of a variable, detecting when a variable crosses a threshold, or when a condition starts or stops being true.
Box 2: LIMIT DURATION
Example: Compute the rate of growth, per sensor: SELECT sensorId,
growth = reading
LAG(reading) OVER (PARTITION BY sensorId LIMIT DURATION(hour, 1)) FROM input

NEW QUESTION 17

You have an Azure Databricks workspace named workspace1 in the Standard pricing tier.
You need to configure workspace1 to support autoscaling all-purpose clusters. The solution must meet the following requirements:
Automatically scale down workers when the cluster is underutilized for three minutes.
Minimize the time it takes to scale to the maximum number of workers.
Minimize costs.
What should you do first?

• A. Enable container services for workspace1.
• B. Upgrade workspace1 to the Premium pricing tier.
• C. Set Cluster Mode to High Concurrency.
• D. Create a cluster policy in workspace1.

Answer: B

Explanation:
For clusters running Databricks Runtime 6.4 and above, optimized autoscaling is used by all-purpose clusters in the Premium plan
Optimized autoscaling:
Scales up from min to max in 2 steps.
Can scale down even if the cluster is not idle by looking at shuffle file state. Scales down based on a percentage of current nodes.
On job clusters, scales down if the cluster is underutilized over the last 40 seconds.
On all-purpose clusters, scales down if the cluster is underutilized over the last 150 seconds.
The spark.databricks.aggressiveWindowDownS Spark configuration property specifies in seconds how often a cluster makes down-scaling decisions. Increasing the value causes a cluster to scale down more slowly. The maximum value is 600.
Note: Standard autoscaling
Starts with adding 8 nodes. Thereafter, scales up exponentially, but can take many steps to reach the max. You can customize the first step by setting the spark.databricks.autoscaling.standardFirstStepUp Spark configuration property.
Scales down only when the cluster is completely idle and it has been underutilized for the last 10 minutes. Scales down exponentially, starting with 1 node.

NEW QUESTION 18

You are designing an Azure Databricks table. The table will ingest an average of 20 million streaming events per day.
You need to persist the events in the table for use in incremental load pipeline jobs in Azure Databricks. The solution must minimize storage costs and incremental load times.
What should you include in the solution?

• A. Partition by DateTime fields.
• B. Sink to Azure Queue storage.
• C. Include a watermark column.
• D. Use a JSON format for physical data storage.

Answer: B

Explanation:
The Databricks ABS-AQS connector uses Azure Queue Storage (AQS) to provide an optimized file source that lets you find new files written to an Azure Blob storage (ABS) container without repeatedly listing all of the files.
This provides two major advantages:
Lower costs: no more costly LIST API requests made to ABS.

NEW QUESTION 19

You plan to monitor an Azure data factory by using the Monitor & Manage app.
You need to identify the status and duration of activities that reference a table in a source database.
Which three actions should you perform in sequence? To answer, move the actions from the list of actions to the answer are and arrange them in the correct order.

• A. Mastered
• B. Not Mastered

Answer: A

Explanation:
Step 1: From the Data Factory authoring UI, generate a user property for Source on all activities. Step 2: From the Data Factory monitoring app, add the Source user property to Activity Runs table.
You can promote any pipeline activity property as a user property so that it becomes an entity that you can
monitor. For example, you can promote the Source and Destination properties of the copy activity in your pipeline as user properties. You can also select Auto Generate to generate the Source and Destination user properties for a copy activity.
Step 3: From the Data Factory authoring UI, publish the pipelines
Publish output data to data stores such as Azure SQL Data Warehouse for business intelligence (BI) applications to consume.
