AWS Certified Data Analytics – Specialty DAS-C01 – Question139

A large ecommerce company uses Amazon DynamoDB with provisioned read capacity and auto scaled write capacity to store its product catalog. The company uses Apache HiveQL statements on an Amazon EMR cluster to query the DynamoDB table. After the company announced a sale on all of its products, wait times for each query have increased. The data analyst has determined that the longer wait times are being caused by throttling when querying the table.

B. Increase the number of EMR nodes that are in the cluster.
C. Increase the DynamoDB table's provisioned write throughput.
