    MapReduce  is a programming and an associated implementation for processing and generating_____ - ProProfs

    MapReduce  is a programming and an associated implementation for processing and generating_____

    • Big data sets

    • Small data sets

    • Infinite data sets

    • Finite data sets

    Correct Answer
    A. Big data sets
    Explanation
    MapReduce is a programming and implementation framework specifically designed for processing and generating big data sets. It allows for the parallel processing of large amounts of data across multiple nodes in a cluster, making it ideal for handling the massive volumes of data typically associated with big data sets. The framework breaks down the data processing tasks into smaller, more manageable chunks that can be distributed across the nodes for efficient processing and analysis. Therefore, the correct answer is "Big data sets".

    The name MapReduce  originally referred to the proprietary of_______ - ProProfs

    The name MapReduce  originally referred to the proprietary of_______

    • Apple Technology

    • Microsoft Technology

    • Amazon Technology

    • Google Technology

    Correct Answer
    A. Google Technology
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Google Technology. The term "MapReduce" was originally used to describe the proprietary technology developed by Google. This technology allowed for the processing and analysis of large datasets by dividing them into smaller parts (mapping) and then combining the results (reducing). Google's implementation of MapReduce was a key component in the development of their search engine and data processing capabilities.

    MapReduce allows for distributed processing of the map and reduction operations - ProProfs

    MapReduce allows for distributed processing of the map and reduction operations

    • Seldom true

    • Not true

    • Always true

    • Sometimes true

    Correct Answer
    A. Always true
    Explanation
    MapReduce is a programming model used for processing and generating large data sets. It allows for distributed processing, meaning that the tasks can be divided and processed across multiple machines in parallel. This enables scalability and efficient utilization of resources. Therefore, it is always true that MapReduce allows for distributed processing of the map and reduction operations.

    The Map and Reduce functions of MapReduce are both defined with respect to - ProProfs

    The Map and Reduce functions of MapReduce are both defined with respect to

    • Trios

    • Pairs

    • Single

    • Serials

    Correct Answer
    A. Pairs
    Explanation
    The Map and Reduce functions of MapReduce are both defined with respect to pairs. In the Map phase, the input data is divided into key-value pairs, where the key represents the intermediate result and the value represents the corresponding data. The Map function processes each pair independently and generates a set of intermediate key-value pairs. In the Reduce phase, the intermediate key-value pairs are grouped by key, and the Reduce function processes each group to produce the final output. Therefore, the Map and Reduce functions are designed to work with pairs of data.

    Methods of processing data in MapReduce include all except - ProProfs

    Methods of processing data in MapReduce include all except

    • Map step

    • Shuffle step

    • Reduce step

    • Adjustment step

    Correct Answer
    A. Adjustment step
    Explanation
    The MapReduce framework is used for processing large datasets in a distributed computing environment. It consists of three main steps: Map, Shuffle, and Reduce. In the Map step, the input data is divided into smaller chunks and processed independently. In the Shuffle step, the intermediate results from the Map step are sorted and grouped based on a specified key. In the Reduce step, the grouped data is combined and processed to produce the final output. However, there is no Adjustment step in the MapReduce framework, making it the correct answer.

    The model is the specialization of spilt-supply-combine strategy for data analysis - ProProfs

    The model is the specialization of spilt-supply-combine strategy for data analysis

    • Not true

    • Often true

    • Always true

    • Seldom true

    Correct Answer
    A. Always true
    Explanation
    The given statement is always true because the model mentioned is a specialization of the split-supply-combine strategy for data analysis. This means that the model is specifically designed to implement and utilize this strategy in order to analyze data effectively. Therefore, it can be concluded that the statement is always true.

    Another way to look at MapReduce is as a_____ step parallel - ProProfs

    Another way to look at MapReduce is as a_____ step parallel

    • 4

    • 5

    • 6

    • 3

    Correct Answer
    A. 5
    Explanation
    MapReduce is a parallel processing technique used in big data processing. It involves breaking down a large dataset into smaller chunks and processing them in parallel across multiple nodes or machines. In this context, the statement "Another way to look at MapReduce is as a 5 step parallel" suggests that MapReduce can be seen as a process that involves five parallel steps. However, without further context or information, it is difficult to determine the specific nature of these steps.

    Rate this question:

    MapReduce program is composed of a - ProProfs

    MapReduce program is composed of a

    • Mapping method

    • Map reading method

    • Map reduction method

    • Map procedure method

    Correct Answer
    A. Mapping method
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Mapping method" because in a MapReduce program, the mapping method is responsible for taking input data and converting it into key-value pairs. This method is applied to each input record independently and generates intermediate key-value pairs. These intermediate pairs are then passed to the reducing method for further processing. The mapping method plays a crucial role in the MapReduce framework as it helps in distributing the workload across multiple nodes and enables parallel processing of data.

    MapReduce was changed by its proprietary company in

    • 2012

    • 2013

    • 2015

    • 2014

    Correct Answer
    A. 2014
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 2014. This implies that the proprietary company made changes to MapReduce in the year 2014.
