AWS Certified Data Analytics Specialty 2021 – Hands-On - Spark Integration with Kinesis and Redshift

The video tutorial explains how Spark applications use data sets similar to database tables, particularly in Spark Streaming and Structured Streaming. It covers integrating Spark Streaming with Amazon Kinesis and Redshift, highlighting the simplicity of coding and the power of distributed processing. The tutorial also discusses using Spark for ETL processes on data stored in Amazon S3, leveraging Redshift Spectrum for SQL interface access.

What is a dataset in the context of Spark applications?

• A visualization tool

• A type of machine learning model

• A continuously growing database table

• A static collection of data

How does Spark Streaming handle new data in a stream?

• It stores new data in a separate file

• It adds new rows to a virtual database table

• It replaces old data with new data

• It deletes old data to make space for new data

What is required to integrate Spark Streaming with Amazon Kinesis?

• A special hardware device

• A library built on the Kinesis Client Library

• A custom-built application

• A dedicated server

What is Amazon Redshift described as in the context of Spark integration?

• A simple SQL database

• A distributed data warehouse

• A machine learning platform

• A data visualization tool

How can Spark treat datasets from Redshift?

• As a machine learning model

• As a non-relational database

• As any other SQL data source

• As a data visualization tool
