Questions and Answers

What is the primary goal of assigning a larger resource class to automated data load queries in Azure Synapse Analytics?

To ensure automated data loads complete quickly and successfully (correct)
To create sampled statistics for every column in each table
To reduce the maximum memory per query
To increase concurrency

What is the impact of a smaller resource class on the performance of a query in Azure Synapse Analytics?

It reduces the maximum memory per query but increases concurrency (correct)
It increases the maximum memory per query
It creates sampled statistics for every column in each table
It has no impact on the performance of a query

Study Notes

Building Spark-Listeners-Loganalytics JAR

Build the spark-listeners-loganalytics-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar JAR file
Create Dropwizard counters or gauges in the application code for monitoring and logging purposes

Azure Synapse Analytics

Assign a larger resource class to automated data load queries to ensure they have enough memory to complete quickly and successfully
Smaller resource classes reduce maximum memory per query but increase concurrency
Larger resource classes increase maximum memory per query but reduce concurrency

Azure Stream Analytics

Monitor the Backlogged input Events metric to ensure it's not increasing slowly and consistently non-zero

Designing an Enterprise Data Warehouse

For a star schema fact table, recommend a hash-distributed table with a clustered columnstore index for the fastest query performance
Consider using a hash-distributed table when the table size on disk is more than 2 GB and has frequent insert, update, and delete operations
Clustered columnstore tables offer both the highest level of data compression and the best overall query performance

Azure Data Factory

Use resource pools to manage workload groups and resource governance
Resource Governor supports user-defined workload groups

Azure SQL Database

Implement memory-optimized tables to resolve performance issues due to tempDB contention
TempDB contention troubleshooting involves identifying and stopping the use of temporary tables and using memory-optimized tables instead
