Hi:
I heard back from the certification team and the 4 items you've listed should NOT be on the Content Guide for the A220 exam. The Content Guide is being updated so those items do NOT appear.

Thanks for bringing this matter to our attention.

Hi:
The preparation for the A220 exam is shown here: https://www.sas.com/en_us/certification/credentials/data-management/big-data-professional/big-data-p... scroll down to see training and Exam Preparation.

Are you taking the SAS Academy for Data Science Big Data Professional courses? If so, then I suggest you go back to the DataFlux class in Module 1.

If you are not in the SAS Academy classes, then you'll find the DataFlux classes that would prepare you on the above web site. There are 2 DataFlux classes listed.

UPDATE: I checked with the Certification Group and they are reviewing this Content Guide for the first Big Data Professional exam A220, to make sure that all the topics listed are correct. Right now the recommendation is to study the courses that are inside the SAS Academy for Data Science program. I'll post back when the Content Guide is updated.
