Enterprise large scale graph analytics and computing base on distribute graph...DataWorks Summit
Graph approaches to structuring, analyzing data have been a significant area of interest, Graphs are well-suited to expressing complex interconnections and clusters of highly related entities.
Large-scale graph analytics research is growing fast in recent years, to leverage Hadoop2 ecosystem for graph is a good approach, enterprise graph computer requires to store large graph and do fast computing against graph. One for the OLTP database systems which allow the user to query the graph in real-time, Hbase as the distributed NOSql database can be the backend storage to persistent large graph, the property graph stored its vertices and edges in key-value pairs in Hbase, it also provide highly reliable, scalable and fault tolerant to the data, Solr as the distributed indexing will make the query more efficient. Titan itself will handle cache, transaction; And another for the OLAP analytics systems, use TinkerPop hadoop gremlin SparkGraphComputer to processed a large graph, every vertex and edge is analyzed, a cluster-computing platform will help for the processing of large distributed in memory graph datasets.
Graph DB base on Hbase/Solr and graph computing analysis base on spark is powerful for discovering valuable information about relationships in complex and large data, representing significant business opportunity in enterprise. It will help graph data analytics in a wide range of domains such as social networking, recommendation engines, advertisement optimization, knowledge representation, health care, education, and security.
Prior to 2014, Walgreens has traditional Enterprise Datawarehouse Systems that have reached the capacity limits. Over the last three years we have evolved, learned lessons, experienced successes and failures. Our initial adoption of Hadoop came from the need to run complex analytics which simply did not scale on MPP RDBMS. Our business data demands were rapidly increasing and the 8 to 12 weeks concomitant extract, transform, and load turn around cycles was not a acceptable deliverable timeframe in the retail space. A self service model where data lands on a distributed platform, apply schema where necessary, and process at scale was a necessary paradigm for business value enablement. Our journey started with single use case which has now evolved to enterprise data hub. We will discuss following points: Evolution of our infrastructure profile, streamlining the hardware provisioning cycle, and our hybrid deployment model (on premise & cloud). Operations, how SmartSense has helped us proactively tune our cluster, and which operational tests we use for benchmarking the cluster. Monitoring, how we monitor and the tools required for enterprise grade monitoring. Security and governance how we progressed from non–compliance to enterprise grade using Ranger, Knox, Kerberos, HP voltage, encryption at rest, and many other services. 3rd Party integration with HDP, what we learned and how we overcame the challenges. Lastly, how we approach our disaster recovery strategy, what is driving the need for a DR and the key capabilities required.
Today enterprises desire to move more and more of their data lakes to the cloud to help them execute faster, increase productivity, drive innovation while leveraging the scale and flexibility of the cloud. However, such gains come with risks and challenges in the areas of data security, privacy, and governance. In this talk we cover how enterprises can overcome governance and security obstacles to leverage these new advances that the cloud can provide to ease the management of their data lakes in the cloud. We will also show how the enterprise can have consistent governance and security controls in the cloud for their ephemeral analytic workloads in a multi-cluster cloud environment without sacrificing any of the data security and privacy/compliance needs that their business context demands. Additionally, we will outline some use cases and patterns as well as best practices to rationally manage such a multi-cluster data lake infrastructure in the cloud.

Securing your Big Data Environments in the CloudDataWorks Summit
Big Data tools are becoming a critical part of enterprise architectures and as such securing the data, at rest, and in motion is a necessity. More so, when you’re implementing these solutions in the cloud and the data doesn't reside within the confines of your trusted data center. Also, there is a fine balance between implementing enterprise-grade security and negotiating utmost performance given the overheads of encryption and/or identity management.
This session is designed to tackle these challenges head on and explain the various options available in the cloud. The focal points are the implementation of tools like Ranger and Knox for cloud deployments, but we also pay attention to the security features offered in the cloud that complement this process and secure the data in unprecedented ways.
Cloud Security + OSS Security tools are a deadly combination, when it comes to securing your Data Lake.
The world’s largest enterprises run their infrastructure on Oracle, DB2 and SQL and their critical business operations on SAP applications. Organisations need this data to be available in real-time to conduct necessary analytics. However, delivering this heterogeneous data at the speed it’s required can be a huge challenge because of the complex underlying data models and structures and legacy manual processes which are prone to errors and delays.
Unlock these silos of data and enable the new advanced analytics platforms by attending this session.
Find out how to:
• To overcome common challenges faced by enterprises trying to access their SAP data
• You can integrate SAP data in real-time with change data capture (CDC) technology
• Organisations are using Attunity Replicate for SAP to stream SAP data in to Kafka
Data science holds tremendous potential for organizations to uncover new insights and drivers of revenue and profitability. Big Data has brought the promise of doing data science at scale to enterprises, however this promise also comes with challenges for data scientists to continuously learn and collaborate. Data Scientists have many tools at their disposal such as notebooks like Juypter and Apache Zeppelin & IDEs such as RStudio with languages like R, Python, Scala and frameworks like Apache Spark. Given all the choices how do you best collaborate to build your model and then work through the development lifecycle to deploy it from test into production ?
In this session learn the attributes of a modern data science platform that empowers data scientists to build models using all the data in their data lake and foster continuous learning and collaboration. We will show a demo of DSX with HDP with the focus on integration, security and model deployment and management.

Hadoop has traditionally been an on-premises workload, with very few notable implementations on the cloud. With Organizations either having jumped on the cloud bandwagon or have started planning their expansion into the ecosystem, it is imperative for us to explore how Hadoop conforms to the cloud paradigm. With the coming off age of some very useful cloud paradigms and the nature of Big Data with high seasonality of workloads, this is becoming a very common ask from customers. Robust architectures, elastic scale, open platforms, OSS integrations, and addressing complex pain points will all be part of this lively talk. To be able to implement effective solutions for Big Data in the cloud it is imperative that you understand the core principles and grasp the design principles of how the cloud can enhance the benefits of parallelized analytics. Join this session to understand the nitty-gritties of implementing Big Data in the cloud and the various options therein. Big Data + Cloud is definitely a deadly combination.
GeoWave: Open Source Geospatial/Temporal/N-dimensional Indexing for Accumulo,...DataWorks Summit
GeoWave is an open-source library that connects geospatial software with distributed computing frameworks. GeoWave leverages the scalability of a distributed key-value store for effective storage, retrieval, and analysis of massive geospatial datasets. It uses a space filling curve to preserve locality between multi-dimensional objects and the single dimensional sort order imposed by key-value stores. What this means to a user is that distributed spatial and spatial-temporal retrieval and analysis can be effectively accomplished at a massive scale.
At its core, GeoWave solves the problem of multi-dimensional indexing, and particularly extends this capability to spatial/temporal use cases. GeoWave supports raster, vector, and point cloud data, and provides common spatial algorithms that can be extended to create deep analytic capabilities. It also performs fast subsampling via distributed rendering that integrates with GeoServer, so that a user can interactively visualize data at map scale regardless of density.
Our goal in presenting GeoWave to the Hadoop Summit is to introduce it to the big data community. We will present GeoWave at a moderate level of detail, to include a short demonstration, and hopefully answer any questions regarding maturity, suitability and implementation details.

Dynamic DDL: Adding structure to streaming IoT data on the flyDataWorks Summit
At the end of day the only thing that data scientists want is one thing. They want tabular data for their analysis.
They do not want to spend hours or days preparing data. How does a data engineer handle the massive amount of data
that is being streamed at them from IoT devices and apps and at the same time add structure to it so that data scientists
can focus on finding insights and not preparing data? By the way, you need to do this within minutes (sometimes seconds).
Oh... and there are a bunch more data sources that you need to ingest and the current providers of data are changing their structure.
At GoPro, we have massive amounts of heterogeneous data being streamed at us from our consumer devices
and applications, and we have developed a concept of "dynamic DDL" to structure our streamed data on the fly using
Spark Streaming, Kafka, HBase, Hive, and S3. The idea is simple. Add structure (schema) to the data as soon as possible.
Allow the providers of the data to dictate the structure. And automatically create event-based and state-based tables (DDL)
for all data sources to allow data scientists to access the data via their lingua franca, SQL, within minutes.
The challenge of computing big data for evolving digital business processes demands variety of computation techniques and engines (SQL, OLAP, time-series, graph, document store), but working in unified framework. A simple architecture of data transformations while ensuring the security, governance, and operational administration are the necessary critical components for enterprise production environments supporting day-to-day business processes. In this session, you will learn about best practices & critical components to ensure business value from latest production deployments. Hear how existing customers are using SAP Vora and the value they have achieved so far with this in-memory engine for distributed data processing. The session provides you with a clear understanding how SAP Vora and open source components like Apache Hadoop and Apache Spark offer an architecture that supports a wide variety of use cases and industries. You will also receive very useful insight where to find development resources, test drive demos, and general documentation.
How Apache Spark and Apache Hadoop are being used to keep banking regulators ...DataWorks Summit
The global financial crisis showed that traditional IT systems at banks were ill equiped to monitor and manage the daily-changing risk landscape during the global financial crisis. The sheer amount of data that needed to be crunched meant that many of the banks were day(s) behind in calculating, understanding and reporting their risk positions. Post crisis, a review by banking regulator, led the regulators to introduce a new legislation BCBS 239: Principles for effective risk data aggregation and reporting, that requires banks to meet more stringent (timeliness) requirement, in their ability to aggregate and report on their quickly-changing risk positions or risk fines to the tune of $millions. To meet these new requirements, banks have been forced to re-think their traditional IT architectures, which are unable to cope with sheer volume of risk data, and are instead turning to Apache Hadoop and Apache Spark to build out next generation of risk systems. In this talk you will discover, how some of the leading banks in the world are leveraging Apache Hadoop and Apache Spark to meet BCBS 239 regulation.

However, as with most things worth doing, the path to the Data Lake was not without its challenges. In this session, I’ll share our top use cases for Hadoop – including telematics and display ads, how a skills shortage turned supporting these applications into a nightmare, and how – and why – we now use Syncsort DMX-h to accelerate enterprise adoption by making it quick and easy (or faster and easier) to populate the data lake – and keep it up to date – with data from across the enterprise. I’ll discuss the different approaches we tried, the benefits of using a tool vs. open source, and how we created our Hadoop Ingestor app using Syncsort DMX-h.
In 2015/16 Worldpay deployed it's Enterprise Data Platform - a highly secure cluster used for analysis of over 65 Billion card transactions and the subject of last years Hadoop Summit Keynote in Dublin. A year on and we are now rapidly expanding our platform with true multi-tenancy. For our first tenant we have build and deployed the analytics and reporting for our central platforms. Our second tenant is to deploy 'decision engines' into our core business systems. These allow Worldpay to make decisions derived from machine learning on how we authorise and route payments traffic and how these affect the consumer, merchant and other business partners. We are also developing other tenant for systems management and security. This talk will look at what it means to have truly have a single enterprise data lake and multiple tenants that share that data and look forward to how we will extend the platform in 2017 with Hadoop 3.

In this session, I’ll share our top use cases for Hadoop – including telematics and display ads, how a skills shortage turned supporting these applications into a nightmare, and how – and why – we now use Syncsort DMX-h to accelerate enterprise adoption by making it quick and easy (or faster and easier) to populate the data lake – and keep it up to date – with data from across the enterprise. I’ll discuss the different approaches we tried, the benefits of using a tool vs. open source, and how we created our Hadoop Ingestor app using Syncsort DMX-h.
In 2015/16 Worldpay deployed it's Enterprise Data Platform - a highly secure cluster used for analysis of over 65 Billion card transactions and the subject of last years Hadoop Summit Keynote in Dublin. A year on and we are now rapidly expanding our platform with true multi-tenancy. For our first tenant we have build and deployed the analytics and reporting for our central platforms. Our second tenant is to deploy 'decision engines' into our core business systems. These allow Worldpay to make decisions derived from machine learning on how we authorise and route payments traffic and how these affect the consumer, merchant and other business partners. We are also developing other tenant for systems management and security. This talk will look at what it means to have truly have a single enterprise data lake and multiple tenants that share that data and look forward to how we will extend the platform in 2017 with Hadoop 3.

Lessons learned processing 70 billion data points a day using the hybrid cloudDataWorks Summit
NetApp receives 70 billion data points of telemetry information each day from its customer’s storage systems. This telemetry data contains configuration information, performance counters, and logs. All of this data is processed using multiple Hadoop clusters, and feeds a machine learning pipeline and a data serving infrastructure that produces insights for customers via an application called Active IQ. We describe the evolution of our Hadoop infrastructure from a traditional on-premises architecture to the hybrid cloud, and lessons learned.
We’ll discuss the insights we are able to produce for our customers, and the techniques used. Finally, we describe the data management challenges with our multi-petabyte Hadoop data lake. We solved these problems by building a unified data lake on-premises and using the NetApp Data Fabric to seamlessly connect to public clouds for data science and machine learning compute resources.
Architecting a truly hybrid cloud implementation allowed NetApp to free up our data scientists to use any software on any cloud, kept the customer log data safe on NetApp Private Storage in Equinix, resulted in faster ability to innovate and release new code and provided flexibility to use any public cloud at the same time with data on NetApp in Equinix.

Floating on a RAFT: HBase Durability with Apache RatisDataWorks Summit
In a world with a myriad of distributed storage systems to choose from, the majority of Apache HBase clusters still rely on Apache HDFS. Theoretically, any distributed file system could be used by HBase. One major reason HDFS is predominantly used are the specific durability requirements of HBase's write-ahead log (WAL) and HDFS providing that guarantee correctly. However, HBase's use of HDFS for WALs can be replaced with sufficient effort.
This talk will cover the design of a "Log Service" which can be embedded inside of HBase that provides a sufficient level of durability that HBase requires for WALs. Apache Ratis (incubating) is a library-implementation of the RAFT consensus protocol in Java and is used to build this Log Service. We will cover the design choices of the Ratis Log Service, comparing and contrasting it to other log-based systems that exist today. Next, we'll cover how the Log Service "fits" into HBase and the necessary changes to HBase which enable this. Finally, we'll discuss how the Log Service can simplify the operational burden of HBase.
Tracking Crime as It Occurs with Apache Phoenix, Apache HBase and Apache NiFiDataWorks Summit
Utilizing Apache NiFi we read various open data REST APIs and camera feeds to ingest crime and related data real-time streaming it into HBase and Phoenix tables. HBase makes an excellent storage option for our real-time time series data sources. We can immediately query our data utilizing Apache Zeppelin against Phoenix tables as well as Hive external tables to HBase.
Apache Phoenix tables also make a great option since we can easily put microservices on top of them for application usage. I have an example Spring Boot application that reads from our Philadelphia crime table for front-end web applications as well as RESTful APIs.
Apache NiFi makes it easy to push records with schemas to HBase and insert into Phoenix SQL tables.

HBase Tales From the Trenches - Short stories about most common HBase operati...DataWorks Summit
Whilst HBase is the most logical answer for use cases requiring random, realtime read/write access to Big Data, it may not be so trivial to design applications that make most of its use, neither the most simple to operate. As it depends/integrates with other components from Hadoop ecosystem (Zookeeper, HDFS, Spark, Hive, etc) or external systems ( Kerberos, LDAP), and its distributed nature requires a "Swiss clockwork" infrastructure, many variables are to be considered when observing anomalies or even outages. Adding to the equation there's also the fact that HBase is still an evolving product, with different release versions being used currently, some of those can carry genuine software bugs. On this presentation, we'll go through the most common HBase issues faced by different organisations, describing identified cause and resolution action over my last 5 years supporting HBase to our heterogeneous customer base.
Optimizing Geospatial Operations with Server-side Programming in HBase and Ac...DataWorks Summit
LocationTech GeoMesa enables spatial and spatiotemporal indexing and queries for HBase and Accumulo. In this talk, after an overview of GeoMesa’s capabilities in the Cloudera ecosystem, we will dive into how GeoMesa leverages Accumulo’s Iterator interface and HBase’s Filter and Coprocessor interfaces. The goal will be to discuss both what spatial operations can be pushed down into the distributed database and also how the GeoMesa codebase is organized to allow for consistent use across the two database systems.
OCLC has been using HBase since 2012 to enable single-search-box access to over a billion items from your library and the world’s library collection. This talk will provide an overview of how HBase is structured to provide this information and some of the challenges they have encountered to scale to support the world catalog and how they have overcome them.
Many individuals/organizations have a desire to utilize NoSQL technology, but often lack an understanding of how the underlying functional bits can be utilized to enable their use case. This situation can result in drastic increases in the desire to put the SQL back in NoSQL.
Since the initial commit, Apache Accumulo has provided a number of examples to help jumpstart comprehension of how some of these bits function as well as potentially help tease out an understanding of how they might be applied to a NoSQL friendly use case. One very relatable example demonstrates how Accumulo could be used to emulate a filesystem (dirlist).
In this session we will walk through the dirlist implementation. Attendees should come away with an understanding of the supporting table designs, a simple text search supporting a single wildcard (on file/directory names), and how the dirlist elements work together to accomplish its feature set. Attendees should (hopefully) also come away with a justification for sometimes keeping the SQL out of NoSQL.
HBase Global Indexing to support large-scale data ingestion at UberDataWorks Summit
Data serves as the platform for decision-making at Uber. To facilitate data driven decisions, many datasets at Uber are ingested in a Hadoop Data Lake and exposed to querying via Hive. Analytical queries joining various datasets are run to better understand business data at Uber.
Data ingestion, at its most basic form, is about organizing data to balance efficient reading and writing of newer data. Data organization for efficient reading involves factoring in query patterns to partition data to ensure read amplification is low. Data organization for efficient writing involves factoring the nature of input data - whether it is append only or updatable.
At Uber we ingest terabytes of many critical tables such as trips that are updatable. These tables are fundamental part of Uber's data-driven solutions, and act as the source-of-truth for all the analytical use-cases across the entire company. Datasets such as trips constantly receive updates to the data apart from inserts. To ingest such datasets we need a critical component that is responsible for bookkeeping information of the data layout, and annotates each incoming change with the location in HDFS where this data should be written. This component is called as Global Indexing. Without this component, all records get treated as inserts and get re-written to HDFS instead of being updated. This leads to duplication of data, breaking data correctness and user queries. This component is key to scaling our jobs where we are now handling greater than 500 billion writes a day in our current ingestion systems. This component will need to have strong consistency and provide large throughputs for index writes and reads.
At Uber, we have chosen HBase to be the backing store for the Global Indexing component and is a critical component in allowing us to scaling our jobs where we are now handling greater than 500 billion writes a day in our current ingestion systems. In this talk, we will discuss data@Uber and expound more on why we built the global index using Apache Hbase and how this helps to scale out our cluster usage. We’ll give details on why we chose HBase over other storage systems, how and why we came up with a creative solution to automatically load Hfiles directly to the backend circumventing the normal write path when bootstrapping our ingestion tables to avoid QPS constraints, as well as other learnings we had bringing this system up in production at the scale of data that Uber encounters daily.
Scaling Cloud-Scale Translytics Workloads with Omid and PhoenixDataWorks Summit
Recently, Apache Phoenix has been integrated with Apache (incubator) Omid transaction processing service, to provide ultra-high system throughput with ultra-low latency overhead. Phoenix has been shown to scale beyond 0.5M transactions per second with sub-5ms latency for short transactions on industry-standard hardware. On the other hand, Omid has been extended to support secondary indexes, multi-snapshot SQL queries, and massive-write transactions.
These innovative features make Phoenix an excellent choice for translytics applications, which allow converged transaction processing and analytics. We share the story of building the next-gen data tier for advertising platforms at Verizon Media that exploits Phoenix and Omid to support multi-feed real-time ingestion and AI pipelines in one place, and discuss the lessons learned.
Building the High Speed Cybersecurity Data Pipeline Using Apache NiFiDataWorks Summit
Cybersecurity requires an organization to collect data, analyze it, and alert on cyber anomalies in near real-time. This is a challenging endeavor when considering the variety of data sources which need to be collected and analyzed. Everything from application logs, network events, authentications systems, IOT devices, business events, cloud service logs, and more need to be taken into consideration. In addition, multiple data formats need to be transformed and conformed to be understood by both humans and ML/AI algorithms.
To solve this problem, the Aetna Global Security team developed the Unified Data Platform based on Apache NiFi, which allows them to remain agile and adapt to new security threats and the onboarding of new technologies in the Aetna environment. The platform currently has over 60 different data flows with 95% doing real-time ETL and handles over 20 billion events per day. In this session learn from Aetna’s experience building an edge to AI high-speed data pipeline with Apache NiFi.
In the healthcare sector, data security, governance, and quality are crucial for maintaining patient privacy and ensuring the highest standards of care. At Florida Blue, the leading health insurer of Florida serving over five million members, there is a multifaceted network of care providers, business users, sales agents, and other divisions relying on the same datasets to derive critical information for multiple applications across the enterprise. However, maintaining consistent data governance and security for protected health information and other extended data attributes has always been a complex challenge that did not easily accommodate the wide range of needs for Florida Blue’s many business units. Using Apache Ranger, we developed a federated Identity & Access Management (IAM) approach that allows each tenant to have their own IAM mechanism. All user groups and roles are propagated across the federation in order to determine users’ data entitlement and access authorization; this applies to all stages of the system, from the broadest tenant levels down to specific data rows and columns. We also enabled audit attributes to ensure data quality by documenting data sources, reasons for data collection, date and time of data collection, and more. In this discussion, we will outline our implementation approach, review the results, and highlight our “lessons learned.”
Presto: Optimizing Performance of SQL-on-Anything EngineDataWorks Summit
Presto, an open source distributed SQL engine, is widely recognized for its low-latency queries, high concurrency, and native ability to query multiple data sources. Proven at scale in a variety of use cases at Airbnb, Bloomberg, Comcast, Facebook, FINRA, LinkedIn, Lyft, Netflix, Twitter, and Uber, in the last few years Presto experienced an unprecedented growth in popularity in both on-premises and cloud deployments over Object Stores, HDFS, NoSQL and RDBMS data stores.
With the ever-growing list of connectors to new data sources such as Azure Blob Storage, Elasticsearch, Netflix Iceberg, Apache Kudu, and Apache Pulsar, recently introduced Cost-Based Optimizer in Presto must account for heterogeneous inputs with differing and often incomplete data statistics. This talk will explore this topic in detail as well as discuss best use cases for Presto across several industries. In addition, we will present recent Presto advancements such as Geospatial analytics at scale and the project roadmap going forward.
Introducing MlFlow: An Open Source Platform for the Machine Learning Lifecycl...DataWorks Summit
Specialized tools for machine learning development and model governance are becoming essential. MlFlow is an open source platform for managing the machine learning lifecycle. Just by adding a few lines of code in the function or script that trains their model, data scientists can log parameters, metrics, artifacts (plots, miscellaneous files, etc.) and a deployable packaging of the ML model. Every time that function or script is run, the results will be logged automatically as a byproduct of those lines of code being added, even if the party doing the training run makes no special effort to record the results. MLflow application programming interfaces (APIs) are available for the Python, R and Java programming languages, and MLflow sports a language-agnostic REST API as well. Over a relatively short time period, MLflow has garnered more than 3,300 stars on GitHub , almost 500,000 monthly downloads and 80 contributors from more than 40 companies. Most significantly, more than 200 companies are now using MLflow. We will demo MlFlow Tracking , Project and Model components with Azure Machine Learning (AML) Services and show you how easy it is to get started with MlFlow on-prem or in the cloud.

Our DataPlatform operates on multiple clusters across different data centers to help thousands of users discover valuable insights. As we were scaling our Data Platform to multiple clusters, we also evaluated various cloud vendors to support use cases outside of our data centers. In this talk we share our architecture and how we extend our data platform to use cloud as another datacenter. We walk through our evaluation process, challenges we faced supporting data analytics at Twitter scale on cloud and present our current solution. Extending Twitter's Data platform to cloud was complex task which we deep dive in this presentation.
Event-Driven Messaging and Actions using Apache Flink and Apache NiFiDataWorks Summit
At Comcast, our team has been architecting a customer experience platform which is able to react to near-real-time events and interactions and deliver appropriate and timely communications to customers. By combining the low latency capabilities of Apache Flink and the dataflow capabilities of Apache NiFi we are able to process events at high volume to trigger, enrich, filter, and act/communicate to enhance customer experiences. Apache Flink and Apache NiFi complement each other with their strengths in event streaming and correlation, state management, command-and-control, parallelism, development methodology, and interoperability with surrounding technologies. We will trace our journey from starting with Apache NiFi over three years ago and our more recent introduction of Apache Flink into our platform stack to handle more complex scenarios. In this presentation we will compare and contrast which business and technical use cases are best suited to which platform and explore different ways to integrate the two platforms into a single solution.
Securing Data in Hybrid on-premise and Cloud Environments using Apache RangerDataWorks Summit
Companies are increasingly moving to the cloud to store and process data. One of the challenges companies have is in securing data across hybrid environments with easy way to centrally manage policies. In this session, we will talk through how companies can use Apache Ranger to protect access to data both in on-premise as well as in cloud environments. We will go into details into the challenges of hybrid environment and how Ranger can solve it. We will also talk through how companies can further enhance the security by leveraging Ranger to anonymize or tokenize data while moving into the cloud and de-anonymize dynamically using Apache Hive, Apache Spark or when accessing data from cloud storage systems. We will also deep dive into the Ranger’s integration with AWS S3, AWS Redshift and other cloud native systems. We will wrap it up with an end to end demo showing how policies can be created in Ranger and used to manage access to data in different systems, anonymize or de-anonymize data and track where data is flowing.
Big Data Meets NVM: Accelerating Big Data Processing with Non-Volatile Memory...DataWorks Summit
Advanced Big Data Processing frameworks have been proposed to harness the fast data transmission capability of Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) over high-speed networks such as InfiniBand, RoCEv1, RoCEv2, iWARP, and OmniPath. However, with the introduction of the Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) and NVM express (NVMe) based SSD, these designs along with the default Big Data processing models need to be re-assessed to discover the possibilities of further enhanced performance. In this talk, we will present, NRCIO, a high-performance communication runtime for non-volatile memory over modern network interconnects that can be leveraged by existing Big Data processing middleware. We will show the performance of non-volatile memory-aware RDMA communication protocols using our proposed runtime and demonstrate its benefits by incorporating it into a high-performance in-memory key-value store, Apache Hadoop, Tez, Spark, and TensorFlow. Evaluation results illustrate that NRCIO can achieve up to 3.65x performance improvement for representative Big Data processing workloads on modern data centers.
Background: Some early applications of Computer Vision in Retail arose from e-commerce use cases - but increasingly, it is being used in physical stores in a variety of new and exciting ways, such as:
● Optimizing merchandising execution, in-stocks and sell-thru
● Enhancing operational efficiencies, enable real-time customer engagement
● Enhancing loss prevention capabilities, response time
● Creating frictionless experiences for shoppers
Abstract: This talk will cover the use of Computer Vision in Retail, the implications to the broader Consumer Goods industry and share business drivers, use cases and benefits that are unfolding as an integral component in the remaking of an age-old industry.
We will also take a ‘peek under the hood’ of Computer Vision and Deep Learning, sharing technology design principles and skill set profiles to consider before starting your CV journey.
Deep learning has matured considerably in the past few years to produce human or superhuman abilities in a variety of computer vision paradigms.

We will cover the basics of object detection, then move into the advanced processing of images describing the possible ways that a retail store of the near future could operate. Identifying various storefront situations by having a deep learning system attached to a camera stream. Such things as; identifying item stocks on shelves, a shelf in need of organization, or perhaps a wandering customer in need of assistance.
We will also cover how to use a computer vision system to automatically track customer purchases to enable a streamlined checkout process, and how deep learning can power plausible wardrobe suggestions based on what a customer is currently wearing or purchasing.
Finally, we will cover the various technologies that are powering these applications today. Deep learning tools for research and development. Production tools to distribute that intelligence to an entire inventory of all the cameras situation around a retail location. Tools for exploring and understanding the new data streams produced by the computer vision systems.
By the end of this talk, attendees should understand the impact Computer Vision and Deep Learning are having in the Consumer Goods industry, key use cases, techniques and key considerations leaders are exploring and implementing today.
Big Data Genomics: Clustering Billions of DNA Sequences with Apache SparkDataWorks Summit
Whole genome shotgun based next generation transcriptomics and metagenomics studies often generate 100 to 1000 gigabytes (GB) sequence data derived from tens of thousands of different genes or microbial species. De novo assembling these data requires an ideal solution that both scales with data size and optimizes for individual gene or genomes. Here we developed an Apache Spark-based scalable sequence clustering application, SparkReadClust (SpaRC), that partitions the reads based on their molecule of origin to enable downstream assembly optimization. SpaRC produces high clustering performance on transcriptomics and metagenomics test datasets from both short read and long read sequencing technologies. It achieved a near linear scalability with respect to input data size and number of compute nodes. SpaRC can run on different cloud computing environments without modifications while delivering similar performance. In summary, our results suggest SpaRC provides a scalable solution for clustering billions of reads from the next-generation sequencing experiments, and Apache Spark represents a cost-effective solution with rapid development/deployment cycles for similar big data genomics problems.
