AWS Certified Data Engineer Associate DEA-C01 Practice Question
An analytics team stores 2 TB of GZIP-compressed JSON click-stream data in Amazon S3. The data engineer needs a web notebook to interactively run PySpark, inspect samples, and write partitioned Parquet back to S3, without managing clusters and paying only when code executes. Which AWS approach satisfies these goals?
Launch an Amazon EMR cluster with Apache Zeppelin notebooks and configure the cluster to auto-terminate when idle.
Create an Athena for Apache Spark notebook and use the interactive session to transform and write the data.
Use AWS Glue DataBrew to profile the JSON files and export the results as Parquet.
Build an on-demand AWS Glue PySpark job that is started by AWS Step Functions when transformation is required.
Athena for Apache Spark notebooks give engineers a serverless, web-based interface to start Spark sessions within seconds, run interactive PySpark code, and read or write data directly in Amazon S3. Charges accrue only for the active session's compute usage, and there is no cluster lifecycle to administer.
Launching an Amazon EMR cluster with Zeppelin still requires cluster provisioning and upkeep. An AWS Glue PySpark job can transform data but is not an interactive notebook environment. AWS Glue DataBrew offers point-and-click transformations rather than PySpark scripting and is not intended for custom Spark code.
