Hi, I was answering the practice exam and encountered a question where I had to store a PIG result in multiple files. This was a surprise question as I could not find any reference for this kind of storage in PIG documentation. Initially, I thought of using SPLIT which was very close to multiple file storage. But, when I googled about it I encountered a function 'MultiStorage()' which would serve the purpose. So, where can I find such methods/functions and their usages? Can you please help me with the piggybank references that are documented so far? Regards Saurabh ... View more

Hi, I went through the practice exam and while attempting it I wasn't sure where should I be posting my answers. Will I have a html in the actual exam as well independent of the 'Ambari' screen where we see the status of our cluster? Also, where am I supposed to post the answers. I launched a terminal in the environment provided and it was working fine. But, wanted to be sure if that is a right approach. One last question: How are our answers evaluated. Are they evaluated on the result that we achieve or the way we achieve it matters too? To be specific, I performed a task which took 3-4 iterative steps to complete from my side, but there could be a possibility that the task could be performed in a single go. Either way the task was completed. So, the end result is evaluated or the way of reaching the end result is evaluated as well? Regards Saurabh ... View more

Hi, I ran compatibility test before scheduling the exam and it said a minimum requirement of 2 GHz frequency and a dual core processor. My system has dual core but the frequency is only about 1.8 GHz. How much of impact will this be? Can we take up this test from prometric centre because of the restriction with my hardware? Lastly, test can be conducted on windows or we'll have to take it up through LINUX platform only? Please assist me on these. Regards Saurabh ... View more
