Snowflake Certified SnowPro Specialty - Snowpark Sample Questions (Q104-Q109):

NEW QUESTION # 104
Which of the following statements are correct regarding the authentication methods available when creating a Snowpark session?

A. OAuth with external Oauth providers (like Okta or Azure AD) is not supported in snowpark, and only username password can be used.
B. Using username/password authentication is the most secure and recommended approach for production environments.
C. OAuth authentication requires pre-configuration in Snowflake and typically involves client IDs, client secrets, and refresh/access tokens.
D. Snowflake supports MFA(Multi-Factor Authentication) using Web Browser Authentication, which needs to be enabled at an account level.
E. Key pair authentication uses a private key to establish a secure connection without needing to store passwords directly in the code.

Answer: C,D,E

Explanation:
Options B, C, and D are correct. OAuth provides a secure delegation mechanism. Key pair authentication is also a secure method, eliminating password storage in code. Snowflake Browser-Based MFA relies on web browser redirection. Option A is incorrect because username/password is generally less secure than key pair or OAuth. Option E is incorrect because External Oauth providers like Okta are Azure AD is supported for authentication using a federated OAuth flow.

NEW QUESTION # 105
You are using Snowpark Python to create a DataFrame from an existing Snowflake table "SALES DATA'. You want to apply a user- defined function (UDF) to each row of the DataFrame to calculate a custom sales metric. The UDF requires access to the 'session' object. Which of the following approaches is correct for defining and applying the UDF in Snowpark?

Answer: A

Explanation:
Option E is the correct approach. To access the session object from within the UDF, you can import it when registering the UDF with the session. It should be imported inside the function and use the decorator. The input_types parameter should be set to 0, since this allows for session access.

NEW QUESTION # 106
Which of the following are key benefits of using Snowpark's server-side execution capabilities for data processing tasks within Snowflake, compared to performing the same tasks on the client-side? (Select all that apply)

A. Increased processing speed due to leveraging Snowflake's scalable compute resources.
B. Greater flexibility in choosing programming languages for data processing.
C. Reduced data transfer costs between the client and Snowflake.
D. Improved security by keeping data within Snowflake's secure environment.
E. Simplified code deployment and maintenance.

Answer: A,C,D,E

Explanation:
Server-side execution in Snowpark offers several advantages: Reduced data transfer: Minimizes the amount of data that needs to be transferred between the client and Snowflake, saving costs and improving performance. Improved security: Keeps sensitive data within Snowflake's secure environment, reducing the risk of data breaches. Increased processing speed: Leverages Snowflake's scalable compute resources, allowing for faster processing of large datasets. Simplified code deployment and maintenance: Stored procedures are deployed and managed within Snowflake, simplifying the deployment and maintenance process. While option E can be true to a degree, it's Python/Scala predominantly, not 'greater' choice. All other options listed here are benefits of server-side execution, the most obvious being reduced data transfer costs, improved security and better scalability.

NEW QUESTION # 107
You have developed a Snowpark application that uses a Python UDF to perform sentiment analysis on text data extracted from JSON files stored in a Snowflake stage. The UDF relies on a large pre-trained machine learning model that is loaded during the UDF initialization. After deploying the application, you observe that the UDF initialization is taking a significant amount of time, causing slow query performance. What are the three MOST effective strategies to optimize the UDF initialization time in this scenario?

A. Use the 'streamlit' library and its caching capabilities to cache loaded models. The UDF should call the streamlit api to retrieve the already loaded model.
B. Use the 'cachetools' library to cache the loaded model within the UDF. This will help to avoid reloading the model every time the UDF is called.
C. Load the model outside the UDF definition within the Snowpark session, pass it as an argument to the UDF, then use the model as part of a vectorized UDF.
D. Utilize the 'context.add_dependency' method in Snowpark to specify the model file as a dependency. Snowflake will automatically distribute and cache the model file to the worker nodes.
E. Use the 'snowflake.snowpark.files.SnowflakeFile' class to load the model directly from the Snowflake stage within the UDF initializer, but only if the model is smaller than 256M

Answer: B,C,D

Explanation:
Optimizing UDF initialization is crucial for performance. Option A is correct because caching the model using 'cachetoolS avoids reloading it for each UDF call. Option C is also correct; 'context.add_dependency' tells Snowflake to distribute and cache the model on worker nodes, further reducing load times. Option D avoids the need for the UDF to load the model, reducing the initialization step down entirely. Streamlit caching is not valid for Snowflake operations, making option E incorrect. 'SnowflakeFile' isn't best used within a UDF initializer as its inefficient, making option B incorrect.

NEW QUESTION # 108
You are tasked with optimizing a Snowpark Python application that performs complex data transformations using a large DataFrame. The application is running slower than expected. You suspect that data skew is causing uneven distribution of work across the Snowflake warehouse nodes. Which of the following techniques could be used to mitigate data skew and improve the performance of your Snowpark application? (Select TWO)

A. Utilize Snowflake's automatic clustering feature on the underlying table to improve data locality.
B. Use the function to sort the data before performing the transformations.
C. Increase the warehouse size to the largest possible option.
D. Use the function with the 'BROADCAST' strategy for smaller DataFrames that are joined with the large DataFrame.
E. Use the function to redistribute the data evenly across the warehouse nodes based on a specific column or set of columns.

Answer: D,E

Explanation:
Options B and E are effective techniques for mitigating data skew. Option B, allows you to explicitly redistribute the data based on a specific column or set of columns, ensuring a more even distribution across the warehouse nodes. Option E, using the 'BROADCAST' hint, is useful when joining a smaller DataFrame with a large DataFrame, as it broadcasts the smaller DataFrame to all nodes, preventing skew during the join operation. Option A, increasing the warehouse size, might provide more resources but doesn't address the underlying data skew issue directly. Option C, sorting the data, doesn't necessarily address data skew and might even worsen it in some cases. Option D, Snowflake's automatic clustering, helps with data locality for queries but doesn't directly address data skew within the Snowpark application during transformations.
