Test your knowledge of Apache Beam

Question 1

What is the difference between a pipeline and a PTransform in Apache Beam?

A PTransform is a NoSQL database A pipeline is a web server A pipeline is a distributed file system A pipeline is a collection of PTransforms that are executed to produce a result A pipeline is a type of PTransform A PTransform is a collection of pipelines that are executed to produce a result

Correct Answer: A pipeline is a collection of PTransforms that are executed to produce a result

A pipeline is a collection of PTransforms that are executed to produce a result. A PTransform represents a data processing operation that transforms one or more input PCollections into one or more output PCollections.

Question 2

What is the purpose of the Distinct transform in Apache Beam?

To retrieve a fixed number of elements from a PCollection To filter elements from a PCollection based on a given condition To remove duplicate elements from a PCollection To aggregate elements of a PCollection into a single value To perform a parallel computation on multiple PCollections To transform each element of a PCollection into a new one with a different type

Correct Answer: To remove duplicate elements from a PCollection

The Distinct transform is used to remove duplicate elements from a PCollection. This can be useful when you want to perform aggregation or remove noise from the data.

Question 3

What are the key concepts in Apache Beam?

Pipelines, SQL, DataFrames MapReduce, Spark, Flink TensorFlow, Keras, PyTorch Pipelines, PTransforms, PCollections Hadoop, Hive, Pig Kafka, RabbitMQ, ActiveMQ

Correct Answer: Pipelines, PTransforms, PCollections

Pipelines are the top-level object that encapsulates a data processing workflow. PTransforms represent a data processing operation that transforms one or more PCollections into one or more output PCollections. PCollections represent a distributed data set that can be processed in parallel.
