Question 300
An organization streams telemetry and stores daily snapshots. The current environment exhibits the following problem: a five-minute average is computed by averaging averages from unequal sample counts. Which change most directly resolves this failure?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Aggregate weighted sums and counts to derive the correct combined mean. Combining averages without weights distorts metrics.
Incorrect Answers
A historical replay is required after changing a transformation rule. Raw event preservation enables deterministic backfills.
Duplicate events arrive after a network partition heals. Replayed events otherwise overstate totals.
The source sends update events that supersede earlier device measurements. Updates should replace stale state in the materialized table.
