Currently, HDPCD is completely exercise based exam where you will be given tasks from Hive, Pig, Sqoop and Flume with proper instructions on what is expected out of each task, where is the input located, where must you direct the output etc.

Refer HDPCD Exam Objectives to aid you in your preparation.

I wrote the exam yesterday and I feel the practice exam on AWS was of great help to get me a feel of the actual exam pattern and environment.

Best of luck.

If you have tried practice exam on AWS after Feb 2016, the pattern for HDPCD is the same. Except there would be 7 tasks and each one of them are independent.
