Box 1: Configure Evegent Hubs partitions

Scenario: Maximize the throughput of ingesting Twitter feeds from Event Hubs to Azure Storage without purchasing additional throughput or capacity units.

Event Hubs is designed to help with processing of large volumes of events. Event Hubs throughput is scaled by using partitions and throughput-unit allocations.

Event Hubs traffic is controlled by TUs (standard tier). Auto-inflate enables you to start small with the minimum required TUs you choose. The feature then scales automatically to the maximum limit of TUs you need, depending on the increase in your traffic.

Box 2: An Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 account

Scenario: Ensure that the data store supports Azure AD-based access control down to the object level.

Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 implements an access control model that supports both Azure role-based access control (Azure RBAC) and POSIX-like access control lists (ACLs).

Box 1: Hash

Scenario:

Ensure that queries joining and filtering sales transaction records based on product ID complete as quickly as possible.

A hash distributed table can deliver the highest query performance for joins and aggregations on large tables.

Box 2: Set the distribution column to the sales date.

Scenario: Partition data that contains sales transaction records. Partitions must be designed to provide efficient loads by month. Boundary values must belong to the partition on the right.

Scenario: Purge Twitter feed data records that are older than two years.

Data sets have unique lifecycles. Early in the lifecycle, people access some data often. But the need for access often drops drastically as the data ages. Some data remains idle in the cloud and is rarely accessed once stored. Some data sets expire days or months after creation, while other data sets are actively read and modified throughout their lifetimes. Azure Storage lifecycle management offers a rule-based policy that you can use to transition blob data to the appropriate access tiers or to expire data at the end of the data lifecycle.

Box 1: Create table

Scenario: Load the sales transaction dataset to Azure Synapse Analytics

Box 2: RANGE RIGHT FOR VALUES

Scenario: Partition data that contains sales transaction records. Partitions must be designed to provide efficient loads by month. Boundary values must belong to the partition on the right.

RANGE RIGHT: Specifies the boundary value belongs to the partition on the right (higher values).

FOR VALUES ( boundary_value [,...n] ): Specifies the boundary values for the partition.

Scenario: Load the sales transaction dataset to Azure Synapse Analytics.

Contoso identifies the following requirements for the sales transaction dataset:

Partition data that contains sales transaction records. Partitions must be designed to provide efficient loads by month. Boundary values must belong to the partition on the right.

Ensure that queries joining and filtering sales transaction records based on product ID complete as quickly as possible.

Implement a surrogate key to account for changes to the retail store addresses.

Ensure that data storage costs and performance are predictable.

Minimize how long it takes to remove old records.
