AWS Certified Data Engineer Associate DEA-C01 Practice Question

A data engineering team stores application logs in an Amazon S3 bucket using keys like s3://company-logs/year=2024/month=04/day=15/*. They register the dataset in the AWS Glue Data Catalog so analysts can query the logs with Amazon Athena and limit scans to the last few days. Which Data Catalog metadata component must they create to enable this partition pruning?

  • Create a separate AWS Glue database for each day and direct Athena to the appropriate database.

  • Configure an AWS Glue connection object that points to the S3 bucket's partitioned prefixes.

  • Add partition entries to the Data Catalog table for every year, month, and day prefix in the bucket.

  • Define a custom crawler classifier that recognizes the year, month, and day parameters in the object keys.
