Certified Data Engineer Professional Exam - Question 87


Which of the following technologies can be used to identify key areas of text when parsing Spark Driver log4j output?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: AE

Regex (regular expressions) is widely used for pattern matching and text processing, making it highly suitable for identifying key areas in log files such as Spark Driver log4j output. By defining specific patterns, regex allows you to search for and extract relevant information like error messages, timestamps, and log levels efficiently. Other options like Julia, pyspsark.ml.feature, Scala Datasets, and C++ are not primarily designed for text parsing tasks of this nature.

Regular expressions (regex) can be used to identify and extract patterns from text data, which makes them very useful for parsing log files like the Spark Driver's log4j output. By defining specific regex patterns, you can search for error messages, timestamps, specific log levels, or any other text that follows a particular format within the log files.

Regex to extract text. C++ makes no sense in this context

It allows us to define patterns that match the structure of the log entries and capture relevant data.

Why C++, why not python or Java? Plus there are tools om parsing the log4j output like Chainsaw and xmlstarlet.
