You have a SQL pool in Azure Synapse.
You plan to load data from Azure Blob storage to a staging table. Approximately 1 million rows of data will be loaded daily. The table will be truncated before each daily load.
You need to create the staging table. The solution must minimize how long it takes to load the data to the staging table.
How should you configure the table? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Correct Answer:

Explanation
Graphical user interface, application, table Description automatically generated

Box 1: Hash
Hash-distributed tables improve query performance on large fact tables. They can have very large numbers of rows and still achieve high performance.
Box 2: Clustered columnstore
When creating partitions on clustered columnstore tables, it is important to consider how many rows belong to each partition. For optimal compression and performance of clustered columnstore tables, a minimum of 1 million rows per distribution and partition is needed.
Box 3: Date
Table partitions enable you to divide your data into smaller groups of data. In most cases, table partitions are created on a date column.
Partition switching can be used to quickly remove or replace a section of a table.

You are developing a solution using a Lambda architecture on Microsoft Azure.
The data at test layer must meet the following requirements:
Data storage:
* Serve as a repository (or high volumes of large files in various formats.
* Implement optimized storage for big data analytics workloads.
* Ensure that data can be organized using a hierarchical structure.
Batch processing:
* Use a managed solution for in-memory computation processing.
* Natively support Scala, Python, and R programming languages.
* Provide the ability to resize and terminate the cluster automatically.
Analytical data store:
* Support parallel processing.
* Use columnar storage.
* Support SQL-based languages.
You need to identify the correct technologies to build the Lambda architecture.

You are designing an Azure Stream Analytics solution that will analyze Twitter data.
You need to count the tweets in each 10-second window. The solution must ensure that each tweet is counted only once.
Solution: You use a tumbling window, and you set the window size to 10 seconds.
Does this meet the goal?

• A.Yes
• B.No

Correct Answer: A

Explanation
Tumbling windows are a series of fixed-sized, non-overlapping and contiguous time intervals. The following diagram illustrates a stream with a series of events and how they are mapped into 10-second tumbling windows.
