– Big SQL worker daemons live directly on cluster
– Continuously running (no startup latency)
– Processing happens locally at the data
• Operations occur in memory with the ability
to spill to disk
– Supports aggregations and sorts larger than available RAM
• Integration with BigSheets (source & target)

– Listens to the JDBC/ODBC connections and compiles / optimizes the query
– Coordinates the execution of the query
– Optionally store user data in traditional RDBMS table (single node only)
• Big SQL worker processes reside on compute nodes (some or all)
• Worker nodes stream data between each other as needed
• Workers can spill large data sets to local disk if needed
– Allows Big SQL to work with data sets
larger than available memory

*Based on IBM internal tests comparing IBM Infosphere Biginsights 3.0 Big SQL with Hive 0.12 executing the "1TB Classic BI Workload"
in a controlled laboratory environment. The 1TB Classic BI Workload is a workload derived from the TPC-H Benchmark Standard,
running at 1TB scale factor. It is materially equivalent with the exception that no update functions are performed. TPC Benchmark and
TPC-H are trademarks of the Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC). Configuration: Cluster of 9 System x3650HD servers,
each with 64GB RAM and 9x2TB HDDs running Redhat Linux 6.3. Results may not be typical and will vary based on actual workload,
configuration, applications, queries and other variables in a production environment. Results as of April 22, 2014

19. IBM BigInsights brings efficient integration of R with Big R
• R as a big data query language
– Outside-in execution
• R as a statistical language for
deep computing
– Inside-out execution
– Partitioning of large data (“divide”)
– Parallel cluster execution of pushed
down R code (“conquer”)
– Almost any R package can run in
this environment
• R as the gateway to scalable
machine learning
– A scalable ML engine that provides
canned algorithms, and an ability to
author new ones, all via R

20. Text Analytics in BigInsights
Distill structured information from
unstructured data
– Rich annotator library supports multiple
languages
– Declarative Information Extraction (IE) system
based on an algebraic framework
– Richer, cleaner rule semantics
– Better performance through optimization
How it works
• Parses text and detects meaning with annotators
• Understands the context in which the text is
analyzed
• Hundreds of pre-built annotators for names,
addresses, phone numbers, along others
Accuracy
• Highly accurate in deriving meaning from
complex text
Performance
• AQL language optimized for MapReduce
Unstructured text (document, email, etc)
Football World Cup 2010, one team
distinguished themselves well, losing to
the eventual champions 1-0 in the Final.
Early in the second half, Netherlands’
striker, Arjen Robben, had a breakaway,
but the keeper for Spain, Iker Casillas
made the save. Winger Andres Iniesta
scored for Spain for the win.
