Does the EMR Hadoop input connector for Kinesis enable continuous stream processing?

  1. Only in some regions
  2. Yes
  3. No
  4. Only if the iteration process succeeds

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The Hadoop MapReduce framework is a batch processing system. As such, it does not support continuous queries. However, there is an emerging set of Hadoop ecosystem frameworks like Twitter Storm and Spark Streaming that enable developers to build applications for continuous stream processing. A Storm connector for Kinesis is available on GitHub here and you can find a tutorial explaining how to setup Spark Streaming on EMR and run continuous queries here.
Additionally, developers can utilize the Kinesis client library to develop real-time stream processing applications.

Which statements are true for user-managed preconditions in AWS Data Pipeline? (choose three)

  1. User-managed preconditions only run on the computational resource that you have specified.
  2. You can create, access and manage user-managed preconditions using the AWS Management Console.
  3. You can create, access and manage user-managed preconditions using the AWS Command Line Interface.
  4. You need to install the AWS SDK to manage user-managed preconditions.

Answer(s): A,B,C

Explanation:

AWS Data Pipeline supports two types of preconditions. System-managed preconditions and usermanaged preconditions.
System-managed preconditions are run by the AWS Data Pipeline web service on your behalf do not require a computational resource.
User Managed preconditions only run on the computational resource that you have specified. You can create, access and manage your pipelines using the AWS Management Console.
You can create, access and manage your pipelines use the AWS Command Line Interface. Reference:
