  • 17 июл.🚀 Top 20 Data Engineering Terms You Should Know 1. Data Engineering Data Engineering is the practice of designing, building, and maintaining systems that collect, process, transform, and store data for analytics, reporting, and machine learning. 2. Data Pipeline A data pipeline is an automated workflow that moves data from one or more sources to a destination while applying transformations such as cleaning, validation, and aggregation. 3. ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) ETL is a process where data is extracted from source systems, transformed into the required format, and then loaded into a data warehouse or database. 4. ELT (Extract, Load, Transform) ELT is a modern data integration approach where raw data is first loaded into a data warehouse and then transformed using the warehouse's computing power. 5. Data Lake A data lake is a centralized repository that stores large volumes of raw, structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data in its original format. 6. Data Warehouse A data warehouse is a centralized database designed to store cleaned, structured, and historical data optimized for reporting, business intelligence, and analytics. 7. Batch Processing Batch processing is the execution of data processing tasks on a collection of data at scheduled intervals rather than processing each event as it arrives. 8. Stream Processing Stream processing is the continuous processing of data in real time as it is generated, enabling immediate analysis and decision-making. 9. Big Data Big Data refers to extremely large and complex datasets that cannot be efficiently processed using traditional database systems due to their volume, velocity, and variety. 10. Apache Spark Apache Spark is an open-source distributed computing framework used for fast processing of large datasets through in-memory computation. 11. Apache Kafka Apache Kafka is a distributed event-streaming platform used to publish, store, and process real-time data streams between applications. 12. Partitioning Partitioning is the process of dividing large datasets into smaller, manageable parts so they can be processed efficiently and in parallel. 13. DataFrame A DataFrame is a distributed table-like data structure in Spark that organizes data into rows and columns with a defined schema for efficient processing. 14. Schema A schema defines the structure of a dataset or database, including tables, columns, data types, relationships, and constraints. 15. Change Data Capture (CDC) Change Data Capture (CDC) is a technique that identifies and captures only the data that has changed since the last processing cycle, making data pipelines faster and more efficient. 16. Data Modeling Data modeling is the process of designing how data is organized, stored, and related to support efficient querying and analysis. 17. Data Quality Data quality refers to the accuracy, completeness, consistency, validity, and reliability of data used for business decisions. 18. Data Lineage Data lineage tracks the journey of data from its source through transformations to its final destination, helping with debugging, auditing, and compliance. 19. Data Governance Data governance is the framework of policies, standards, and processes that ensure data is secure, consistent, compliant, and properly managed across an organization. 20.

  • 20 мар.🎯 🔧 DATA ENGINEER INTERVIEW QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS 🧠 1️⃣ Tell me about your data engineering experience and key projects ✅ Sample Answer: "I have 4+ years as a data engineer building scalable ETL pipelines, data lakes, and real-time streaming systems. Expert in PySpark, Airflow, Snowflake, Kafka, and dbt. Recently built a 10TB customer 360 pipeline processing 1B+ events daily with 99.99% uptime. Reduced data latency from 6 hours to 15 minutes using streaming and optimized warehouse costs by 68% through partitioning and Z-ordering." 📊 2️⃣ What is the difference between batch processing and stream processing? When to use each? ✅ Answer: Batch: Process large volumes at scheduled intervals (hourly/daily). Use for reports, ML training, data warehousing. Tools: Airflow, Spark batch jobs. Stream: Process data in real-time as it arrives. Use for fraud detection, live dashboards, recommendations. Tools: Kafka Streams, Flink, Spark Streaming. Hybrid: Lambda architecture (batch + stream layers). 🔗 3️⃣ Explain ETL vs ELT. What factors determine your choice? ✅ Answer: ETL (Extract→Transform→Load): Transform in staging layer, load clean data to warehouse. Good for simple transformations, low-volume, strict data quality. ELT (Extract→Load→Transform): Load raw data, transform in warehouse. Better for cloud warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery), complex transformations, data lake use cases. Choose ELT for modern stacks (80% current jobs), ETL for legacy/strict compliance. 🧠 4️⃣ What is a data lake vs data warehouse? When would you use each? ✅ Answer: Data Lake: Raw, semi-structured data at scale (S3, ADLS). Schema-on-read, good for ML, data science, unknown future use cases. Data Warehouse: Clean, structured data optimized for analytics (Snowflake, Redshift). Schema-on-write, SQL analytics, BI dashboards. Use lake for raw storage + warehouse for consumption. Lakehouse (Databricks) combines both. 📈 5️⃣ How do you design idempotent data pipelines? ✅ Answer: Idempotent: Run multiple times → same result. Techniques: - Unique keys/checksums for deduplication - Upsert (MERGE) instead of INSERT - Watermarking (process only new data) - Transactional outbox pattern - Exactly-once Kafka semantics Example: MERGE target t USING staging s ON t.id = s.id WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT 📊 6️⃣ What is Apache Airflow? Key components and DAG best practices ✅ Answer: Airflow: Workflow orchestration platform. DAGs (Directed Acyclic Graphs) define pipeline dependencies. Components: Scheduler, Webserver, Metadata DB, Workers (Celery/Kubernetes). Best practices: - Small, focused tasks (<15min) - Idempotent tasks - Retry logic + SLAs - XComs for lightweight data passing - Dynamic DAGs via Jinja templating 📉 7️⃣ Explain partitioning vs bucketing vs clustering in big data systems ✅ Answer: Partitioning: Split data by column values (date, region) → directory structure. Prunes I/O for queries. Bucketing: Hash-based file grouping within partitions. Optimizes JOINs (same bucket). Clustering: Multi-dimensional sorting (Snowflake Z-order). Dynamic, query-optimized. Example: PARTITIONED BY (year, month) CLUSTERED BY (customer_id) balances prune + sort. 📊 8️⃣ How do you handle schema evolution in data pipelines? ✅ Answer: Schema evolution: Handle changing upstream data structures. Strategies: - Avro/Protobuf (schema in file metadata) - dbt schema.yml + tests - Delta Lake/Apache Iceberg (ACID + schema evolution) - Flexible staging layer (JSON → structured) - Versioned tables (table_v1, table_v2) 🧠 9️⃣ What is Spark? Compare DataFrames vs RDDs vs Datasets ✅ Answer: Spark: Distributed data processing engine. RDD: Low-level, resilient distributed datasets (Python objects). DataFrame: Structured, optimized (Tungsten + Catalyst). Dataset: Type-safe DataFrame (Scala/Java only\0,24%
