Google Cloud Professional Data Engineer — Question 220

You are managing a Dataplex environment with raw and curated zones. A data engineering team is uploading JSON and CSV files to a bucket asset in the curated zone but the files are not being automatically discovered by Dataplex. What should you do to ensure that the files are discovered by Dataplex?

Answer options

• A. Move the JSON and CSV files to the raw zone.
• B. Enable auto-discovery of files for the curated zone.
• C. Use the bg command-line tool to load the JSON and CSV files into BigQuery tables.
• D. Grant object level access to the CSV and JSON files in Cloud Storage.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct option is A because files in the raw zone are automatically discovered by Dataplex, while files in the curated zone require additional configuration. Option B is incorrect as simply enabling auto-discovery in the curated zone does not apply to files that need to be in the raw zone. Option C is not relevant since loading files into BigQuery does not solve the discovery issue. Option D does not address the need for Dataplex to recognize files, as permissions alone won't facilitate automatic discovery.
