Question

Analysts in your company want to query the tracking data in BigQuery to analyze geospatial trends in the lifecycle of a package. The table was originally created with ingest-date partitioning. Over time, the query processing time has increased. You need to copy all the data to a new clustered table. What should you do?

Options

  • ARe-create the table using data partitioning on the package delivery date.
  • BImplement clustering in BigQuery on the package-tracking ID column.
