Which best describes what the map method accepts and emits?
A. It accepts a single key-value pair as input and emits a single key and list of corresponding values as output.
B. It accepts a single key-value pairs as input and can emit only one key-value pair as output.
C. It accepts a list key-value pairs as input and can emit only one key-value pair as output.
D. It accepts a single key-value pairs as input and can emit any number of key-value pair as output, including zero.
What is the disadvantage of using multiple reducers with the default HashPartitioner and distributing your workload across you cluster?
A. You will not be able to compress the intermediate data.
B. You will longer be able to take advantage of a Combiner.
C. By using multiple reducers with the default HashPartitioner, output files may not be in globally sorted order.
D. There are no concerns with this approach. It is always advisable to use multiple reduces.
Given a directory of files with the following structure: line number, tab character, string: Example: 1abialkjfjkaoasdfjksdlkjhqweroij 2kadfjhuwqounahagtnbvaswslmnbfgy 3kjfteiomndscxeqalkzhtopedkfsikj You want to send each line as one record to your Mapper. Which InputFormat should you use to complete
the line: conf.setInputFormat (____.class) ; ?
A. SequenceFileAsTextInputFormat
B. SequenceFileInputFormat

D. BDBInputFormat
MapReduce v2 (MRv2/YARN) is designed to address which two issues?
A. Single point of failure in the NameNode.
B. Resource pressure on the JobTracker.
C. HDFS latency.
D. Ability to run frameworks other than MapReduce, such as MPI.
E. Reduce complexity of the MapReduce APIs.
F. Standardize on a single MapReduce API.
Workflows expressed in Oozie can contain:
A. Sequences of MapReduce and Pig. These sequences can be combined with other actions including forks, decision points, and path joins.
B. Sequences of MapReduce job only; on Pig on Hive tasks or jobs. These MapReduce sequences can be combined with forks and path joins.
C. Sequences of MapReduce and Pig jobs. These are limited to linear sequences of actions with exception handlers but no forks.
D. Iterntive repetition of MapReduce jobs until a desired answer or state is reached.
Given the following Pig command:
logevents = LOAD andapos;input/my.logandapos; AS (date:chararray, levehstring, code:int, message:string);
Which one of the following statements is true?
A. The logevents relation represents the data from the my.log file, using a comma as the parsing delimiter
B. The logevents relation represents the data from the my.log file, using a tab as the parsing delimiter
C. The first field of logevents must be a properly-formatted date string or table return an error
D. The statement is not a valid Pig command
Which one of the following statements is false about HCatalog?
A. Provides a shared schema mechanism
B. Designed to be used by other programs such as Pig, Hive and MapReduce
C. Stores HDFS data in a database for performing SQL-like ad-hoc queries
D. Exists as a subproject of Hive
On a cluster running MapReduce v1 (MRv1), a TaskTracker heartbeats into the JobTracker on your cluster, and alerts the JobTracker it has an open map task slot.
What determines how the JobTracker assigns each map task to a TaskTracker?
A. The amount of RAM installed on the TaskTracker node.
B. The amount of free disk space on the TaskTracker node.
C. The number and speed of CPU cores on the TaskTracker node.
D. The average system load on the TaskTracker node over the past fifteen (15) minutes.
E. The location of the InsputSplit to be processed in relation to the location of the node.
Which project gives you a distributed, Scalable, data store that allows you random, realtime read/write access to hundreds of terabytes of data?
A. HBase
B. Hue
C. Pig
D. Hive
E. Oozie
F. Flume
G. Sqoop
When is the earliest point at which the reduce method of a given Reducer can be called?
A. As soon as at least one mapper has finished processing its input split.
B. As soon as a mapper has emitted at least one record.
C. Not until all mappers have finished processing all records.
D. It depends on the InputFormat used for the job.
