Try a sample question
A batch ETL job runs every night and appends records from the source database to the training dataset. After 3 months the training set is 3x larger than expected. What is the most likely root cause?
A.The source database grew faster than anticipated
B.The feature schema changed and new columns added rows
C.The job lacks idempotency — re-running it appends duplicate records
D.The incremental filter is too broad and pulling historical records
