Question
Why is the project considered a “live project”?
A. Because it is simulated with fake values
B. Because it involves actual client-provided data for analysis
C. Because it requires continuous internet connection
D. Because it automatically updates in real time
Answer
B. Because it involves actual client-provided data for analysis
Explanation
In the context of Big Data and Hadoop certification training, a “live project” refers to an assignment or scenario that uses real-world, actual data provided by clients or businesses, rather than fabricated or synthetic datasets. Working with actual data allows candidates to experience the genuine complexities, inconsistencies, and scale of data processing that they will face in industry roles. Options A and C are incorrect because live projects do not use fake values, nor do they inherently require a continuous internet connection. Option D describes a “real-time” processing system (like Spark Streaming or Kafka), which is a technical architecture rather than the definition of a “live project” in an educational or certification setting.
