What happens when a Spark Executor fails?

  • The entire application restarts.
  • Lost data is recovered from disk only if it was persisted.
  • Spark context is shut down, and the job needs to be submitted again.
  • The Spark master schedules the re-execution of lost tasks on available executors.
  • No effect on running job as Spark Executors never fail.

In the context of distributed data processing, which of the following best explains the concept of lazy evaluation in Apache Spark?

  • Executes tasks immediately when an action is called.
  • Processes data in real-time without storing it in memory.
  • Delays computation until an action is triggered to optimize the execution plan.
  • It is the ability of Spark to cache processed data for future actions.
  • Lazy evaluation refers to Spark's fault-tolerance mechanism by rebuilding lost data.

Given the nature of Spark's Resilient Distributed Datasets (RDDs), which feature is NOT true about RDDs?

  • RDDs are immutable.
  • RDDs can only be created through deterministic operations on either data or other RDDs.
  • RDDs provide support for transactions like a database system.
  • RDDs are fault-tolerant.

Which of the following is NOT a benefit of using DataFrames over RDDs in Apache Spark?

  • DataFrames provide a domain-specific language for structured data manipulation.
  • DataFrames allow custom memory management and optimization.
  • DataFrames support automatic optimization with Catalyst Optimizer.
  • DataFrames have the ability to integrate with a variety of data formats and storage systems.

Apache Spark can be integrated with which big data tool for real-time processing?

  • Hive
  • MapReduce
  • HBase
  • Apache Kafka
  • Sqoop

Which Spark component acts as a distributed SQL query engine and enables the execution of SQL queries on data stored in Apache Spark?

  • Spark Streaming
  • MLlib
  • GraphX
  • Spark SQL
  • Spark Core
