AWS Certified Data Engineer Associate DEA-C01 Practice Question
An e-commerce company stores daily CSV sales files in an S3 prefix partitioned by year, month, and day. Business analysts query the data with Amazon Athena minutes after each file lands. The data engineering team must keep the AWS Glue Data Catalog current, detect new partitions automatically, and label columns that contain customer PII for Lake Formation permissions with minimal ongoing maintenance. Which approach best meets these requirements?
Launch an Amazon EMR cluster on a cron schedule to import the Glue catalog into Hive and replicate it to an on-premises MySQL database; manage PII access with SQL GRANT statements.
Define the table in an AWS CloudFormation stack and update the stack daily with new partitions; mark PII by tagging the underlying S3 objects.
Configure an AWS Glue crawler that is triggered by Amazon S3 event notifications; allow the crawler to infer the schema and partitions, then apply Lake Formation column tags to the sensitive columns.
Run a scheduled AWS Glue ETL job each day that issues ALTER TABLE ADD PARTITION statements in Athena and maintains PII information in a separate spreadsheet.
An AWS Glue crawler can be configured to run when an S3 event notification (through EventBridge) indicates that new data has arrived. The crawler uses the built-in CSV classifier to create or update the table and its partitions in the Glue Data Catalog without manual DDL. After the initial crawl, Lake Formation column-level tags can be applied once to the sensitive columns and remain attached as the crawler adds future partitions, satisfying the PII labeling requirement with little ongoing effort. The other approaches rely on manual DDL, infrastructure updates, or additional clusters, which increase operational overhead and delay data availability.
