Cloudera Certified Administrator for Apache Hadoop (CCAH) Sample Questions:

Question #1
Which YARN daemon or service monitors a Controller's per-application resource using (e.g., memory CPU)?

A. ApplicationMaster
B. NodeManager
C. ApplicationManagerService
D. ResourceManager

Question #2
You have a cluster running with the fair Scheduler enabled.
There are currently no jobs running on the cluster, and you submit a job A, so that only job A is running on the cluster.
A while later, you submit Job B.now Job A and Job B are running on the cluster at the same time.
How will the Fair Scheduler handle these two jobs?

A. When Job A gets submitted, it consumes all the task slots.
B. When Job A gets submitted, it doesn't consumes all the task slots.
C. When Job B gets submitted, Job A has to finish first, before job B can gets scheduled.
D. When Job B gets submitted, it will get assigned tasks, while job A continues to run with fewer tasks.

Question #3
Your cluster has the following characteristics:
A rack aware topology is configured and on
Replication is set to 3
Cluster block size is set to 64MB
Which describes the file read process when a client application connects into the cluster and requests a 50MB file?

A. The client queries the NameNode which retrieves the block from the nearest DataNode to the client then passes
that block back to the client.
B. The client queries the NameNode for the locations of the block, and reads all three copies. The first copy to
complete transfer to the client is the one the client reads as part of hadoop's speculative execution framework.
C. The client queries the NameNode for the locations of the block, and reads from the first location in the list it
receives.
D. The client queries the NameNode for the locations of the block, and reads from a random location in the list it
receives to eliminate network I/O loads by balancing which nodes it retrieves data from any given time.

without starting long-running jobs?

A. FIFO Scheduler
B. Complexity Fair Scheduler (CFS)
C. Fair Scheduler
D. Capacity Scheduler

Question #5
You want to understand more about how users browse your public website. For example, you want to know which
pages they visit prior to placing an order. You have a server farm of 200 web servers hosting your website. Which is
the most efficient process to gather these web server across logs into your Hadoop cluster analysis?

A. Channel these clickstreams into Hadoop using Hadoop Streaming
B. Write a MapReeeduce job with the web servers for mappers and the Hadoop cluster nodes for reducers
C. Sample the web server logs web servers and copy them into HDFS using curl
D. Import all user clicks from your OLTP databases into Hadoop using Sqoop
