You designed a database for patient records as a pilot project to cover a few hundred patients in three clinics. Your design used a single database table to represent all patients and their visits, and you used self-joins to generate reports. The server resource utilization was at 50%. Since then, the scope of the project has expanded. The database must now store 100 times more patientrecords. You can no longer run the reports, because they either take too long or they encounter errors with insufficient compute resources. How should you adjust the database design?

A.

Add capacity (memory and disk space) to the database server by the order of 200.

B.

Shard the tables into smaller ones based on date ranges, and only generate reports with prespecified date ranges.

C.

Normalize the master patient-record table into the patient table and the visits table, and create other necessary tables to avoid self-join.

D.

Partition the table into smaller tables, with one for each clinic. Run queries against the smaller table pairs, and use unions for consolidated reports.

An external customer provides you with a daily dump of data from their database. The data flows into Google Cloud Storage GCS as comma-separated values (CSV) files. You want to analyze this data in Google BigQuery, but the data could have rows that are formatted incorrectly or corrupted. How should you build this pipeline?

A.

Use federated data sources, and check data in the SQL query.

B.

Enable BigQuery monitoring in Google Stackdriver and create an alert.

C.

Import the data into BigQuery using the gcloud CLI and set max_bad_records to 0.

D.

Run a Google Cloud Dataflow batch pipeline to import the data into BigQuery, and push errors to another dead-letter table for analysis.

You are deploying 10,000 new Internet of Things devices to collect temperature data in your warehouses globally. You need to process, store and analyze these very large datasets in real time. What should you do?

A.

Send the data to Google Cloud Datastore and then export to BigQuery.

B.

Send the data to Google Cloud Pub/Sub, stream Cloud Pub/Sub to Google Cloud Dataflow, and store the data in Google BigQuery.

C.

Send the data to Cloud Storage and then spin up an Apache Hadoop cluster as needed in Google Cloud Dataproc whenever analysis is required.

D.

Export logs in batch to Google Cloud Storage and then spin up a Google Cloud SQL instance, import the data from Cloud Storage, and run an analysis as needed.

You create a new report for your large team in Google Data Studio 360. The report uses Google BigQuery as its data source. It is company policy to ensure employees can view only the data associated with their region, so you create and populate a table for each region. You need to enforce the regional access policy to the data.

Which two actions should you take? (Choose two.)

A.

Ensure all the tables are included in global dataset.

B.

Ensure each table is included in a dataset for a region.

C.

Adjust the settings for each table to allow a related region-based security group view access.

D.

Adjust the settings for each view to allow a related region-based security group view access.

E.

Adjust the settings for each dataset to allow a related region-based security group view access.

MJTelco is building a custom interface to share data. They have these requirements:

They need to do aggregations over their petabyte-scale datasets.

They need to scan specific time range rows with a very fast response time (milliseconds).

Which combination of Google Cloud Platform products should you recommend?

A.

Cloud Datastore and Cloud Bigtable

B.

Cloud Bigtable and Cloud SQL

C.

BigQuery and Cloud Bigtable

D.

BigQuery and Cloud Storage

You want to use a database of information about tissue samples to classify future tissue samples as either normal or mutated. You are evaluating an unsupervised anomaly detection method for classifying the tissue samples. Which two characteristic support this method? (Choose two.)

A.

There are very few occurrences of mutations relative to normal samples.

B.

There are roughly equal occurrences of both normal and mutated samples in the database.

C.

You expect future mutations to have different features from the mutated samples in the database.

D.

You expect future mutations to have similar features to the mutated samples in the database.

E.

You already have labels for which samples are mutated and which are normal in the database.

You work for a car manufacturer and have set up a data pipeline using Google Cloud Pub/Sub to capture anomalous sensor events. You are using a push subscription in Cloud Pub/Sub that calls a custom HTTPS endpoint that you have created to take action of these anomalous events as they occur. Your custom HTTPS endpoint keeps getting an inordinate amount of duplicate messages. What is the most likely cause of these duplicate messages?

A.

The message body for the sensor event is too large.

B.

Your custom endpoint has an out-of-date SSL certificate.

C.

The Cloud Pub/Sub topic has too many messages published to it.

D.

Your custom endpoint is not acknowledging messages within the acknowledgement deadline.

You are building a model to predict whether or not it will rain on a given day. You have thousands of input features and want to see if you can improve training speed by removing some features while having a minimum effect on model accuracy. What can you do?

A.

Eliminate features that are highly correlated to the output labels.

B.

Combine highly co-dependent features into one representative feature.

C.

Instead of feeding in each feature individually, average their values in batches of 3.

D.

Remove the features that have null values for more than 50% of the training records.

You have spent a few days loading data from comma-separated values (CSV) files into the Google BigQuery table CLICK_STREAM. The column DT stores the epoch time of click events. For convenience, you chose a simple schema where every field is treated as the STRING type. Now, you want to compute web session durations of users who visit your site, and you want to change its data type to the TIMESTAMP. You want to minimize the migration effort without making future queries computationally expensive. What should you do?

A.

Delete the table CLICK_STREAM, and then re-create it such that the column DT is of the TIMESTAMP type. Reload the data.

B.

Add a column TS of the TIMESTAMP type to the table CLICK_STREAM, and populate the numeric values from the column TS for each row. Reference the column TS instead of the column DT from now on.

C.

Create a view CLICK_STREAM_V, where strings from the column DT are cast into TIMESTAMP values. Reference the view CLICK_STREAM_V instead of the table CLICK_STREAM from now on.

D.

Add two columns to the table CLICK STREAM: TS of the TIMESTAMP type and IS_NEW of the BOOLEAN type. Reload all data in append mode. For each appended row, set the value of IS_NEW to true. For future queries, reference the column TS instead of the column DT, with the WHERE clause ensuring that the value of IS_NEW must be true.

E.

Construct a query to return every row of the table CLICK_STREAM, while using the built-in function to cast strings from the column DT into TIMESTAMP values. Run the query into a destination table NEW_CLICK_STREAM, in which the column TS is the TIMESTAMP type. Reference the table NEW_CLICK_STREAM instead of the table CLICK_STREAM from now on. In the future, new data is loaded into the table NEW_CLICK_STREAM.

You are building a model to make clothing recommendations. You know a user’s fashion preference is likely to change over time, so you build a data pipeline to stream new data back to the model as it becomes available. How should you use this data to train the model?

A.

Continuously retrain the model on just the new data.

B.

Continuously retrain the model on a combination of existing data and the new data.

C.

Train on the existing data while using the new data as your test set.

D.

Train on the new data while using the existing data as your test set.
