Step 1: Mount the Data Lake Storage onto DBFS
Begin with creating a file system in the Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 account.
Step 2: Read the file into a data frame.
You can load the json files as a data frame in Azure Databricks.
Step 3: Perform transformations on the data frame.
Step 4: Specify a temporary folder to stage the data
Specify a temporary folder to use while moving data between Azure Databricks and Azure Synapse.

NEW QUESTION # 85
You are designing the folder structure for an Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 container.
Users will query data by using a variety of services including Azure Databricks and Azure Synapse Analytics serverless SQL pools. The data will be secured by subject are a. Most queries will include data from the current year or current month.
Which folder structure should you recommend to support fast queries and simplified folder security?
- A. /{YYYY}/{MM}/{DD}/{SubjectArea}/{DataSource}/{FileData}_{YYYY}_{MM}_{DD}.csv
- B. /{SubjectArea}/{DataSource}/{YYYY}/{MM}/{DD}/{FileData}_{YYYY}_{MM}_{DD}.csv
- C. /{DD}/{MM}/{YYYY}/{SubjectArea}/{DataSource}/{FileData}_{YYYY}_{MM}_{DD}.csv
- D. /{SubjectArea}/{DataSource}/{DD}/{MM}/{YYYY}/{FileData}_{YYYY}_{MM}_{DD}.csv
Answer: B
Explanation:
There's an important reason to put the date at the end of the directory structure. If you want to lock down certain regions or subject matters to users/groups, then you can easily do so with the POSIX permissions. Otherwise, if there was a need to restrict a certain security group to viewing just the UK data or certain planes, with the date structure in front a separate permission would be required for numerous directories under every hour directory. Additionally, having the date structure in front would exponentially increase the number of directories as time went on.
Note: In IoT workloads, there can be a great deal of data being landed in the data store that spans across numerous products, devices, organizations, and customers. It's important to pre-plan the directory layout for organization, security, and efficient processing of the data for down-stream consumers. A general template to consider might be the following layout:
{Region}/{SubjectMatter(s)}/{yyyy}/{mm}/{dd}/{hh}/
NEW QUESTION # 86
You are designing a financial transactions table in an Azure Synapse Analytics dedicated SQL pool. The table will have a clustered columnstore index and will include the following columns:
TransactionType: 40 million rows per transaction type
CustomerSegment: 4 million per customer segment
TransactionMonth: 65 million rows per month
AccountType: 500 million per account type
You have the following query requirements:
Analysts will most commonly analyze transactions for a given month.
Transactions analysis will typically summarize transactions by transaction type, customer segment, and/or account type You need to recommend a partition strategy for the table to minimize query times.
On which column should you recommend partitioning the table?
- A. CustomerSegment
- B. AccountType
- C. TransactionMonth
- D. TransactionType
Answer: D
Explanation:
For optimal compression and performance of clustered columnstore tables, a minimum of 1 million rows per distribution and partition is needed. Before partitions are created, dedicated SQL pool already divides each table into 60 distributed databases.
Example: Any partitioning added to a table is in addition to the distributions created behind the scenes. Using this example, if the sales fact table contained 36 monthly partitions, and given that a dedicated SQL pool has 60 distributions, then the sales fact table should contain 60 million rows per month, or 2.1 billion rows when all months are populated. If a table contains fewer than the recommended minimum number of rows per partition, consider using fewer partitions in order to increase the number of rows per partition.
NEW QUESTION # 87
You have an Azure data factory.
You need to ensure that pipeline-run data is retained for 120 days. The solution must ensure that you can query the data by using the Kusto query language.
Which four actions should you perform in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.
NOTE: More than one order of answer choices is correct. You will receive credit for any of the correct orders you select.
Answer:
Explanation:
Explanation
Step 1: Create an Azure Storage account that has a lifecycle policy
To automate common data management tasks, Microsoft created a solution based on Azure Data Factory. The service, Data Lifecycle Management, makes frequently accessed data available and archives or purges other data according to retention policies. Teams across the company use the service to reduce storage costs, improve app performance, and comply with data retention policies.
Step 2: Create a Log Analytics workspace that has Data Retention set to 120 days.
Data Factory stores pipeline-run data for only 45 days. Use Azure Monitor if you want to keep that data for a longer time. With Monitor, you can route diagnostic logs for analysis to multiple different targets, such as a Storage Account: Save your diagnostic logs to a storage account for auditing or manual inspection. You can use the diagnostic settings to specify the retention time in days.
Step 3: From Azure Portal, add a diagnostic setting.
Step 4: Send the data to a log Analytics workspace,
Event Hub: A pipeline that transfers events from services to Azure Data Explorer.
Keeping Azure Data Factory metrics and pipeline-run data.
Configure diagnostic settings and workspace.
Create or add diagnostic settings for your data factory.
* In the portal, go to Monitor. Select Settings > Diagnostic settings.
* Select the data factory for which you want to set a diagnostic setting.
* If no settings exist on the selected data factory, you're prompted to create a setting. Select Turn on diagnostics.
* Give your setting a name, select Send to Log Analytics, and then select a workspace from Log Analytics Workspace.
* Select Save.

NEW QUESTION # 88
You have an Azure Synapse Analytics dedicated SQL pool.
You need to Create a fact table named Table1 that will store sales data from the last three years. The solution must be optimized for the following query operations:
Show order counts by week.
* Calculate sales totals by region.
* Calculate sales totals by product.
* Find all the orders from a given month.
Which data should you use to partition Table1?
- A. week
- B. month
- C. product
- D. region
Answer: B
Explanation:
Table partitions enable you to divide your data into smaller groups of data. In most cases, table partitions are created on a date column.
Benefits to queries
Partitioning can also be used to improve query performance. A query that applies a filter to partitioned data can limit the scan to only the qualifying partitions. This method of filtering can avoid a full table scan and only scan a smaller subset of data. With the introduction of clustered columnstore indexes, the predicate elimination performance benefits are less beneficial, but in some cases there can be a benefit to queries.
For example, if the sales fact table is partitioned into 36 months using the sales date field, then queries that filter on the sale date can skip searching in partitions that don't match the filter.
Note: Benefits to loads
The primary benefit of partitioning in dedicated SQL pool is to improve the efficiency and performance of loading data by use of partition deletion, switching and merging. In most cases data is partitioned on a date column that is closely tied to the order in which the data is loaded into the SQL pool. One of the greatest benefits of using partitions to maintain data is the avoidance of transaction logging. While simply inserting, updating, or deleting data can be the most straightforward approach, with a little thought and effort, using partitioning during your load process can substantially improve performance.

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.
