What is the primary goal of data normalization?

To compress data to save storage

To combine multiple tables into one for faster reads

To eliminate data redundancy and improve data integrity

What is the primary purpose of implementing incremental data loading in a data processing pipeline?

To load all historical data every time the pipeline runs, ensuring completeness

To load only the data that has changed since the last run, reducing processing time and resource usage

To load data in parallel from multiple sources simultaneously

To load data only once and never update it again

Why is it important to handle duplicate data in a dataset?

To maintain data integrity and ensure accurate analysis results

To comply with data residency laws

To increase the speed of data ingestion

To reduce the need for data encryption

What is the main challenge of handling late-arriving data in a streaming pipeline?

Events are duplicated by the source

Events are always encrypted and cannot be decrypted

Events may arrive after the window in which they should have been processed, affecting aggregations

Events are too large to process

Which of the following is an example of denormalization?
