Process
I received a call from a recruiter. They had initially scheduled a HireVue round with simple questions:
- Three hands-on questions on SQL/PySpark.
- Three video recording questions.
After that, I had a 70-minute technical discussion with the interviewers. The quality of the questions was great. The interview focused more on the process behind the answers, such as the process behind bucketing and the optimal size of a Parquet file. They asked a good variety of questions. The hands-on questions were simple in the end.
Questions
Can we have bucketing for external tables? Can dictionary support duplicate values? Reading a Parquet file to Spark DF. Bucketing working & different types of joins in Hive (bucket join, map join, functionality behind them).
