Topic #: 3

[All Google Cloud Certified Professional Data Engineer Questions]

You have historical data covering the last three years in BigQuery and a data pipeline that delivers new data to BigQuery daily. You have noticed that when the Data Science team runs a query filtered on a date column and limited to 30--90 days of data, the query scans the entire table. You also noticed that your bill is increasing more quickly than you expected. You want to resolve the issue as cost-effectively as possible while maintaining the ability to conduct SQL queries. What should you do?

ARe-create the tables using DDL. Partition the tables by a column containing a TIMESTAMP or DATE Type.

BRecommend that the Data Science team export the table to a CSV file on Cloud Storage and use Cloud Datalab to explore the data by reading the files directly.

CModify your pipeline to maintain the last 30--90 days of data in one table and the longer history in a different table to minimize full table scans over the entire history.

DWrite an Apache Beam pipeline that creates a BigQuery table per day. Recommend that the Data Science team use wildcards on the table name suffixes to select the data they need.
