DP-203 Certification Practice Question #169

Question

You need to design a solution that will process streaming data from an Azure Event Hub and output the data to Azure Data Lake Storage. The solution must ensure that analysts can interactively query the streaming data.

What should you use?

Accepted Answer

The requirement pairs real-time stream processing with interactive analyst access. Structured Streaming in Azure Databricks best satisfies both in a single solution family: it handles the streaming workload from Event Hub and gives analysts a notebook-based interactive environment over the processed data and lake outputs. Azure Stream Analytics is strong for stream processing, but the interactivity requirement makes Databricks the better fit here, which aligns with the official key and most-voted answer.
