You have a data pipeline that writes data to Cloud Bigtable using well-designed row keys. You want to monitor your pipeline to determine when to increase the size of you Cloud Bigtable cluster.
Which two actions can you take to accomplish this? Choose 2 answers.

  1. Review Key Visualizer metrics. Increase the size of the Cloud Bigtable cluster when the Read pressure index is above 100.
  2. Review Key Visualizer metrics. Increase the size of the Cloud Bigtable cluster when the Write pressure index is above 100.
  3. Monitor the latency of write operations. Increase the size of the Cloud Bigtable cluster when there is a sustained increase in write latency.
  4. Monitor storage utilization. Increase the size of the Cloud Bigtable cluster when utilization increases above 70% of max capacity.
  5. Monitor latency of read operations. Increase the size of the Cloud Bigtable cluster of read operations take longer than 100 ms.

Answer(s): A,C



You want to analyze hundreds of thousands of social media posts daily at the lowest cost and with the fewest steps.

You have the following requirements:

You will batch-load the posts once per day and run them through the Cloud Natural Language API.

    What should you do?
  2. Use Cloud Dataflow with Beam to detect errors and perform transformations.
  3. Use Cloud Dataprep with recipes to detect errors and perform transformations.
  4. Use Cloud Dataproc with a Hadoop job to detect errors and perform transformations.
  5. Use federated tables in BigQuery with queries to detect errors and perform transformations.

Answer(s): B



Your company needs to upload their historic data to Cloud Storage. The security rules don't allow access from external IPs to their on-premises resources. After an initial upload, they will add new data from existing on-premises applications every day.
What should they do?

  2. Use Cloud Dataflow and write the data to Cloud Storage.
  3. Write a job template in Cloud Dataproc to perform the data transfer.
  4. Install an FTP server on a Compute Engine VM to receive the files and move them to Cloud
    Storage.

Answer(s): B



You have a query that filters a BigQuery table using a WHERE clause on timestamp and ID columns. By using bq query ­ -dry_run you learn that the query triggers a full scan of the table, even though the filter on timestamp and ID select a tiny fraction of the overall dat

  1. You want to reduce the amount of data scanned by BigQuery with minimal changes to existing SQL queries.
    What should you do?
  2. Create a separate table for each ID.
  3. Use the LIMIT keyword to reduce the number of rows returned.
  4. Recreate the table with a partitioning column and clustering column.
  5. Use the bq query - -maximum_bytes_billed flag to restrict the number of bytes billed.
