A Cassandra write is only successful when...
- UT is read
- It is marked
- Both commits are completed
- Commit log on disk
Correct Answer

A. Both commits are completed

Explanation

A Cassandra write is only considered successful when both commits are completed. This means that the data being written is successfully committed to both the commit log on disk and the memtable in memory. Only when both of these commits are completed can it be ensured that the write operation has been successfully executed and the data is durable and available for reading.

Cassandra was written in which language?
- COBOL
- C++
- Java
- Python
Correct Answer

A. Java

Explanation

Cassandra was written in Java. Java is a widely used programming language known for its platform independence and object-oriented approach. Java's robustness and scalability make it a suitable choice for developing a distributed database system like Cassandra.

Memtables and SStables are created per the...
- Row family
- Column family
- Table family
- Cell family
Correct Answer

A. Column family

Explanation

Memtables and SStables are created per the column family. In Apache Cassandra, data is organized into column families, which are similar to tables in a relational database. Each column family contains multiple columns and rows, and it is the unit of data storage and retrieval in Cassandra. Memtables are in-memory data structures that temporarily hold data before flushing it to disk as SStables (sorted string tables). SStables are immutable files on disk that store data permanently. Therefore, both memtables and SStables are created and managed at the column family level.

Cassandra writes are first written to the commit log on disk for...
- Durability
- Time
- Speed
- Control
Correct Answer

A. Durability

Explanation

Cassandra writes are first written to the commit log on disk for durability. This means that the data is securely stored and can be recovered even in the event of a system failure or crash. By writing the data to the commit log, Cassandra ensures that the data is not lost and can be retrieved later. This is an important feature for maintaining data integrity and reliability in distributed systems like Cassandra.

How many modes of operation does Flume support?
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 4
Correct Answer

A. 3

Explanation

Flume supports three modes of operation. These modes are:
1. Standalone mode: In this mode, Flume runs as a single JVM process.
2. Agent mode: In this mode, Flume agents are used to collect, aggregate, and move data from various sources to a destination.
3. Embedded mode: In this mode, Flume is embedded within another application, allowing it to be used as a library.

All of these are concepts of Cassandra data models except...
- Key space
- Row
- Column
- Cluster
Correct Answer

A. Row

Explanation

The given options are all related to the concepts of Cassandra data models. However, "Row" is not a concept of Cassandra data models. In Cassandra, data is organized in a distributed manner using key spaces, which contain multiple rows. Each row consists of columns, and they are grouped together in clusters. Therefore, the correct answer is "Row" as it is not a concept of Cassandra data models.

A high-level consulting executive who is engaged in life saving manual data entry is called a...
- Data miner
- Data wizard
- Data merger
- Data collector
Correct Answer

A. Data wizard

Explanation

A high-level consulting executive who is engaged in life-saving manual data entry is called a data wizard. This term implies that the executive possesses exceptional skills and expertise in handling data and can efficiently manipulate and analyze it to extract valuable insights. The term "wizard" suggests a level of mastery and proficiency in the field of data management, making it a fitting description for someone in this role.

9.

Which of these modes of operation are not supported by Flume?
- Single node
- Pseudo distributed
- Double node
- Fully distributed
Correct Answer

A. Double node

Explanation

The correct answer is "Double node" because Flume does not have a specific mode of operation called "Double node". Flume supports four modes of operation: Single node, Pseudo distributed, Fully distributed, and Multinode.

Which of the following usually translates into Hadoop MapReduce jobs?
- JAQL
- SQL
- Hive
- Impala
Correct Answer

A. JAQL

Explanation

JAQL is a query language that is specifically designed for querying and manipulating data in Hadoop. It is primarily used in conjunction with Hadoop MapReduce jobs to process and analyze large datasets. JAQL provides a high-level interface for writing complex data transformations and is well-suited for tasks such as data extraction, transformation, and loading in Hadoop environments. Therefore, JAQL is the correct answer as it is commonly used to translate into Hadoop MapReduce jobs.
