Welcome to the community @dvrk. I think most of your questions are covered in our community article Cloudera Certification FAQ and the CCA-500 page on Cloudera.com. If you have any further questions after reading through those, let me know and I will see what I can find out. 🙂

Best of luck.

Dear Jervis, Thanks a lot for the information. But the answer to my specific query is not clear from the FAQ.

As requested please confirm me on the below:

(1) Is the exam pattern is going to be Question with Multiple choice type or it is going to be descriptive one.

Kindly confirm on this.

(2) Any sample questions from the exam so that we can prepare for the exam based on that.

Best Regards,

DVRK

I think for those questions the CCA-500 page on Cloudera.com should be what you are looking for as it lays out the exam sections and blueprint. By reading through it it looks like a descriptive test but I can double check if you still need clarification after looking it over.

For example, section one of the exam:

1. HDFS (17%)

Describe the function of HDFS daemons
Describe the normal operation of an Apache Hadoop cluster, both in data storage and in data processing
Identify current features of computing systems that motivate a system like Apache Hadoop
Classify major goals of HDFS Design
Given a scenario, identify appropriate use case for HDFS Federation
Identify components and daemon of an HDFS HA-Quorum cluster
Analyze the role of HDFS security (Kerberos)
Determine the best data serialization choice for a given scenario
Describe file read and write paths
Identify the commands to manipulate files in the Hadoop File System Shell

@chancabe if you check the CCA131 certification page and look at the bottom you will find information on the testing cluster.

Each user is given their own CDH5 (currently 5.10.1) cluster running on CentOS 7.3.

Thank you for asking @ABP. Cloudera doesn't have such a book. If you are wondering what to study for the CCA Administrator Exam (CCA131), you can find out on the certification page which lists:

Number of questions
Time limit
Score required to pass
Pricing
How the test is evaluated and scored
Audience and Prerequisites
Exam delivery and cluster information

Of course the part you would be interested in is listed as well in the Required Skills section. This section lists all the skills you will need to be able to perform as part of the test.
