Screen candidates with the highest quality questions

We have a very high focus on the quality of questions that test for on-the-job skills. Every question is non-googleable and we have a very high bar for the level of subject matter experts we onboard to create these questions. We have crawlers to check if any of the questions are leaked online. If/ when a question gets leaked, we get an alert. We change the question for you & let you know.

How we design questions

These are just a small sample from our library of 15,000+ questions. The actual questions on this Hadoop Online Test will be non-googleable.

🧐 Question
Easy Count number of occurrences Mappers Reducers	Solve
Chusk works as Hadoop developer at Pesla Inc. Chusk is tasked with processing input data to count number of occurrences of each unique word. Chusk did the following to achieve this: 1. Tokenize each word and emit lateral value 1 with Mapper 2. Reducer increments counter for each literal 1 it receives Chusk is now tasked with optimizing this by using a combiner. Will Chusk be able to reuse existing reducers as combiners? A: Yes B: No C: Because the sum operation is both associative and commutative and the input and output types to the reduce method match D: Because the sum operation in the Reducer is incompatible with the operation of a combiner E: Because the combiner is incompatible with a Mapper, which doesn't use the same data type for both the key and value F: Insufficient information
Medium Hive ngrams	Solve
Assuming the following Hive statements execute successfully, choose the correct statements that describe the result: from fooddata select context_ngrams(sentences(lines), array("twiggy", "romato", null), 68); A. A bigram of the top 68 sentences that contain the substring "twiggy romato" in the lines column of the input data A1 table. B. An 68-value ngram of sentences that contain the words "twiggy" or "romato" in the lines column of the fooddata table. C. A trigram of the top 68 sentences that contain "twiggy romato" followed by a null space in the lines column of the fooddata table. D. A frequency distribution of the top 68 words that follow the subsequence "twiggy romato" in the lines column of the fooddata table.
Easy P Q relations Pig	Solve
Consider the following two relations, P and Q: What is the output of the following Pig command? Q = GROUP P BY p2; DUMP Q;

Test candidates on core Hadoop Hiring Test topics

Installing and configuring Hadoop clusters: This skill involves setting up and configuring multiple machines to work together as a distributed cluster, with Hadoop software installed on each node. It requires knowledge of system administration, networking, and understanding the Hadoop ecosystem.

Core Hadoop architecture (HDFS; YARN; MapReduce): This skill covers the fundamental components of Hadoop, including the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) which provides reliable storage, YARN for resource management and job scheduling, and MapReduce for processing large datasets in parallel. Understanding this architecture is crucial for designing and optimizing Hadoop applications.

Writing efficient Hive and Pig queries: This skill involves writing queries in Hive and Pig, which are high-level languages used for processing and analyzing data in Hadoop. Writing efficient queries is important for achieving optimal performance and extracting valuable insights from large datasets.

Publishing data to clusters: This skill requires the ability to import data from external sources into Hadoop clusters, ensuring data is properly formatted and optimized for storage. It also involves managing data replication, compression, and security to ensure data integrity and availability within the cluster.

Handling streaming data: This skill involves processing and analyzing real-time streaming data in Hadoop. It requires knowledge of technologies like Apache Kafka or Apache Storm to ingest and process data as it is generated, enabling real-time analytics and decision-making.

Working with different file formats: This skill involves working with various file formats, such as CSV, JSON, Avro, or Parquet, in Hadoop. It requires understanding file formats and their specific advantages and trade-offs for different use cases, as well as knowledge of tools to process and transform data in different formats.

Troubleshooting and monitoring: This skill is about identifying and resolving issues in Hadoop clusters, such as performance bottlenecks, data inconsistencies, or configuration problems. It involves using various monitoring tools and diagnostic techniques to ensure the smooth operation of the Hadoop environment.

What is the Hadoop Online Test?

The Hadoop Online Test is designed to assess candidates' proficiency in various Hadoop-related skills. Used by recruiters and hiring managers, it helps identify individuals knowledgeable in Hadoop clusters, core architecture, and real-time data processing.

What skills are evaluated in the Hadoop Online Test?

The test covers skills like installing and configuring Hadoop clusters, core Hadoop architecture (HDFS, YARN, MapReduce), writing Hive and Pig queries, and handling streaming data, among others.

Can I test Hadoop and SQL together in a test?

Yes, you can. Combining Hadoop with SQL skills provides a more complete evaluation. Check out our C#, .NET & SQL Test for an example of a combined skills assessment.

Can I combine multiple skills into one custom assessment?

Yes, absolutely. Custom assessments are set up based on your job description, and will include questions on all must-have skills you specify. Here's a quick guide on how you can request a custom test.

How do I interpret test scores?

The primary thing to keep in mind is that an assessment is an elimination tool, not a selection tool. A skills assessment is optimized to help you eliminate candidates who are not technically qualified for the role, it is not optimized to help you find the best candidate for the role. So the ideal way to use an assessment is to decide a threshold score (typically 55%, we help you benchmark) and invite all candidates who score above the threshold for the next rounds of interview.

Does every candidate get the same questions?

Yes, it makes it much easier for you to compare candidates. Options for MCQ questions and the order of questions are randomized. We have anti-cheating/ proctoring features in place. In our enterprise plan, we also have the option to create multiple versions of the same assessment with questions of similar difficulty levels.

What is the cost of using this test?
