AI-102 Question 375
Select 3You are tasked with creating an Azure Cognitive Search indexer to process data from an Azure Blob Storage container. The data consists of JSON files, and you want to extract only specific fields from these files to populate your search index. Which of the following steps are necessary to successfully create and run the indexer?
- A
Define a data source that connects to the Azure Blob Storage container.
- B
Create and configure a skillset to enrich the data before indexing.
- C
Create a search index with fields that correspond to the required JSON properties.
- D
Run the indexer and monitor its execution through the Azure portal.
- E
Set up a trigger to automatically execute the indexer when new data is added to the blob container.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, D
Explanation
To create and run an indexer in Azure Cognitive Search for JSON files, you need to define a data source to connect to the Azure Blob Storage container, create a search index to structure the data, and then run the indexer to process and populate the index. A skillset is unnecessary unless data enrichment is required, and automatic triggers are not supported, so you need to manually schedule or run the indexer.
- A. Correct.
Correct: A data source is required to tell the indexer where to fetch the data. This is a mandatory step.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect: A skillset is only necessary if you need to enrich or transform the data (e.g., extracting entities, OCR). Since the scenario specifies only extracting specific fields, a skillset is not needed.
- C. Correct.
Correct: The search index defines the structure and fields of the data you want to store and query. It must match the fields you plan to extract.
- D. Correct.
Correct: Running the indexer and monitoring its execution ensures the data is processed and indexed correctly.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Automatic triggers for indexers are not natively supported in Azure Cognitive Search. Indexers typically run on a schedule or are manually executed.
