What does data lineage primarily track?

The storage capacity of a data warehouse

The origin of data and every transformation it undergoes

The performance of data processing jobs

The number of users accessing a dataset

A data governance team is implementing a new policy that requires all data products to have documented lineage. The team must decide how to capture lineage for both batch and streaming pipelines. Which approach is most effective?

Manually documenting lineage in a spreadsheet after each pipeline change

Capturing lineage only for data at rest and not for data in motion

Capturing lineage only for batch pipelines and ignoring streaming pipelines

Automatically capturing lineage metadata from pipeline execution logs and transformation code

A media company receives daily viewership statistics from multiple streaming platforms. The data arrives in different formats (CSV, JSON, XML) and must be combined into a single dataset for weekly reporting. The company does not need real-time data. Which ingestion approach is most appropriate?

Streaming ingestion with real-time transformation

Direct loading of each file into the warehouse without transformation

Batch processing with an ETL job that runs after all daily files arrive

Manual data entry of all statistics into a spreadsheet

An e-commerce company ingests clickstream data from its website. The marketing team needs real-time dashboards of user behavior, while the finance team needs accurate daily revenue reports. The clickstream data is high-volume and includes both page views and purchase events. Which ingestion architecture best supports both teams?

Streaming ingestion for both the marketing dashboard and the finance reports

Streaming ingestion for the marketing dashboard and batch ingestion for the finance reports

Batch ingestion for both the marketing dashboard and the finance reports

Micro-batch ingestion every 10 minutes for both teams
