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 Big Data - Pig 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.

What is Big Data - Pig Test?

The Big Data - Pig Test evaluates candidates' skills in Apache Pig and related technologies. It is used by recruiters to identify candidates with strong capabilities in Pig Latin Programming, Data Transformations, and Hadoop Integration.

What skills are evaluated in the Big Data - Pig Test?

The test evaluates Apache Pig Basics, Pig Latin Programming, Data Transformations, Debugging and Optimization, Hadoop Integration, MapReduce Concepts, Data Loading and Storage, UDFs, Data Analysis with Pig, Schema Design in Pig, Error Handling, and Performance Tuning in Pig.

Can I test Big Data - Pig and Hadoop together in a test?

Yes, you can. Combining Big Data - Pig and Hadoop in one test helps evaluate candidates' proficiency in both areas. Check out our Big Data - Pig and Hadoop Combo Test.

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?
