This comprehensive assessment delves into Spark Streaming fundamentals, evaluating candidates through multiple-choice questions, code snippets, and scenario-based problems. It covers key areas such as creating and manipulating DStreams for data ingestion, applying transformations like map, filter, and join for stream processing, and implementing stateful operations for maintaining context across batches.
Candidates are tested on windowed computations for aggregating data over time intervals, integration with storage systems like HDFS or databases, and handling of exactly-once semantics via checkpointing and write-ahead logs. The test also explores advanced topics like combining streaming with batch data via Spark SQL and optimizing for low-latency with dynamic allocation. By simulating real-world challenges, such as processing high-velocity logs or sensor data, it reveals practical problem-solving abilities.
For organizations, this ensures hires can build robust, scalable streaming architectures that support continuous data flows, reducing latency and enhancing operational efficiency in big data ecosystems.
