Question

A company is developing an application that will generate log events. The log events consist of five distinct metrics every one tenth of a second and produce a large amount of data. The company needs to configure the application to write the logs to Amazon Timestream. The company will configure a daily query against the Timestream table. Which combination of steps will meet these requirements with the FASTEST query performance? (Choose three.)

Options

  • AUse batch writes to write multiple log events in a single write operation.
  • BWrite each log event as a single write operation.
  • CTreat each log as a single-measure record.
  • DTreat each log as a multi-measure record.
  • EConfigure the memory store retention period to be longer than the magnetic store retention
  • FConfigure the memory store retention period to be shorter than the magnetic store retention

Why each option

To achieve the fastest query performance for high-volume log events in Amazon Timestream, use batch writes, treat multiple metrics per log as a multi-measure record, and configure the memory store retention to keep frequently queried data in the faster memory tier.

AUse batch writes to write multiple log events in a single write operation.Correct

Batch writes reduce the overhead of individual write operations, making the ingestion of a large volume of log events more efficient and faster, aligning with the large data production.

BWrite each log event as a single write operation.

Writing each log event as a single write operation creates significant overhead and is inefficient for high-volume data ingestion, negatively impacting write performance and cost.

CTreat each log as a single-measure record.

Treating each log as a single-measure record would require creating five separate records for each log event, increasing data volume and complicating queries that need to correlate these metrics.

DTreat each log as a multi-measure record.Correct

Treating the five distinct metrics as a multi-measure record significantly reduces the number of records written and read for a given timestamp, grouping related data efficiently for improved query performance.

EConfigure the memory store retention period to be longer than the magnetic store retentionCorrect

Configuring a sufficiently long memory store retention period ensures that the data relevant for daily queries remains in the faster in-memory tier, which is crucial for achieving the fastest query performance on recent data.

FConfigure the memory store retention period to be shorter than the magnetic store retention

Configuring a shorter memory store retention period would cause data to move to the slower magnetic store sooner, degrading query performance for data that might still be relevant for daily analysis.
