Actual exam question for Snowflake's ARA-C01 exam
Question #: 51
Topic #: 6
[All ARA-C01 Questions]

The Business Intelligence team reports that when some team members run queries for their dashboards in parallel with others, the query response time is getting significantly slower What can a Snowflake Architect do to identify what is occurring and troubleshoot this issue?

A)

B)

C)

D)

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

The image shows a SQL query that can be used to identify which queries are spilled to remote storage and suggests changing the warehouse parameters to address this issue. Spilling to remote storage occurs when the memory allocated to a warehouse is insufficient to process a query, and Snowflake uses disk or cloud storage as a temporary cache. This can significantly slow down the query performance and increase the cost. To troubleshoot this issue, a Snowflake Architect can run the query shown in the image to find out which queries are spilling, how much data they are spilling, and which warehouses they are using.Then, the architect can adjust the warehouse size, type, or scaling policy to provide enough memory for the queries and avoid spilling12.Reference:
