DEA-C01 Exam - Question 107


A data engineer notices that Amazon Athena queries are held in a queue before the queries run.

How can the data engineer prevent the queries from queueing?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: B

To prevent queries from queuing in Amazon Athena, the appropriate action is to configure provisioned capacity for an existing workgroup. Provisioning capacity allocates dedicated query processing resources to a workgroup, ensuring that sufficient resources are available to handle the query load and prevent queries from being held in a queue. This approach provides a more predictable and efficient query execution environment.

Provisioning capacity ensures that there are sufficient dedicated resources available to handle the query load, thereby preventing queries from being held in a queue. This approach directly addresses the issue by increasing the available processing capacity for your queries.

B. Configure provisioned capacity for an existing workgroup. Provisioned capacity in Amazon Athena allows you to allocate dedicated query processing capacity to a workgroup. This helps ensure that your queries are run without being held in a queue, providing more consistent and predictable performance.
