Q24 Event Hubs Domain 3 · 20–25% of exam Priority · Real Exam

Which failure mode results from checkpointing after every single event?

  1. A Data loss
  2. B Significant throughput reduction due to storage write overhead (correct answer)
  3. C Duplicate events
  4. D Partition rebalancing

Shortcut: Each checkpoint is a blob write. Checkpointing per event makes storage the bottleneck; checkpointing per batch or on an interval is the standard compromise.
