A smart home automation company must efficiently ingest and process messages from various connected devices and sensors. The majority of these messages are comprised of a large number of small files. These messages are ingested using Amazon Kinesis Data Streams and sent to Amazon S3 using a Kinesis data stream consumer application. The Amazon S3 message data is then passed through a processing pipeline built on Amazon EMR running scheduled PySpark jobs.
The data platform team manages data processing and is concerned about the efficiency and cost of downstream data processing. They want to continue to use PySpark.
Which solution improves the efficiency of the data processing jobs and is well architected?
A . Send the sensor and devices data directly to a Kinesis Data Firehose delivery stream to send the data to Amazon S3 with Apache Parquet record format conversion enabled. Use Amazon EMR running PySpark to process the data in Amazon S3.
B . Set up an AWS Lambda function with a Python runtime environment. Process individual Kinesis data stream messages from the connected devices and sensors using Lambda.
C . Launch an Amazon Redshift cluster. Copy the collected data from Amazon S3 to Amazon Redshift and move the data processing jobs from Amazon EMR to Amazon Redshift.
D . Set up AWS Glue Python jobs to merge the small data files in Amazon S3 into larger files and transform them to Apache Parquet format. Migrate the downstream PySpark jobs from Amazon EMR to AWS Glue.
