Correct Answer: D  🗳️

Explanation: Only visible for ActualTestsIT members. You can sign-up / login (it's free).

You are building an application that will store data in an Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL account.
The account uses the session default consistency level. The account is used by five other applications. The account has a single read-write region and 10 additional read region.
Approximately 20 percent of the items stored in the account are updated hourly.
Several users will access the new application from multiple devices.
You need to ensure that the users see the same item values consistently when they browse from the different devices. The solution must NOT affect the other applications.
Which two actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

  • A. Set the default consistency level to eventual
  • B. Provide a stored session token when performing read requests
  • C. Associate a session token to the user account
  • D. Use implicit session management when performing read requests
  • E. Associate a session token to the device

Requests for every country total approximately 50,000 RU/s every hour of the day. The application team of the company suggests using countryId as the partition key for this container.
Which of the following statements is true?

  • A. This partition key will prevent throughput hot partitions
  • B. All the above
  • C. This partition key will cause fan out when filtering by countryId

Correct Answer:


Explanation:
Box 1: ORDER BY c.name DESC, c.age DESC
Queries that have an ORDER BY clause with two or more properties require a composite index.
The following considerations are used when using composite indexes for queries with an ORDER BY clause with two or more properties:
If the composite index paths do not match the sequence of the properties in the ORDER BY clause, then the composite index can't support the query.
The order of composite index paths (ascending or descending) should also match the order in the ORDER BY clause.
The composite index also supports an ORDER BY clause with the opposite order on all paths.
Box 2: At the same time as the item creation
Azure Cosmos DB supports two indexing modes:
Consistent: The index is updated synchronously as you create, update or delete items. This means that the consistency of your read queries will be the consistency configured for the account.
None: Indexing is disabled on the container.

While chairing a team session, you are telling the team members about the Azure Cosmos DB Emulator.
Which of the following statement is not true about Azure Cosmos DB Emulator?

  • A. The emulator doesn't offer various Azure Cosmos DB consistency levels as offered by the cloud service.
  • B. The emulator does support only a single fixed account and a familiar primary key. You can even regenerate the key while utilizing the Azure Cosmos DB Emulator.
  • C. The emulator doesn't offer multi-region replication.
  • D. Azure Cosmos DB Emulator offers an emulated environment that would run on the local developer workstation.
