The document discusses Apache Beam as a data pipeline solution, highlighting its ability to handle both batch and streaming jobs through various runners like Google Cloud Dataflow and Apache Flink. It emphasizes the abstraction layer provided by Beam for simplified data processing and outlines key components such as pipelines, transforms, and I/O operations. Further, it encourages the use of Beam or Flink APIs for stream data processing and notes recent developments in related tools like BigQuery and DataStudio.

Data Pipeline

2. Who am I
• Data Architect @ VMFive
• Fluentd/Embulk fans

3. Overview
• Define Data Pipeline
• Architecture
• How to write Beam
• Demo

4. Data Pipeline
Input Algorithm Output

5. Why Apache Beam?

6. Data Pipeline’s world is
chaos

7. Goal
• Provide an abstraction layer between data
processing’s code and the execution runtime.
• Batch processing and Streaming Jobs in one
world.
• Beam SDK open the door to write once, run
anywhere.*
on-premise and non-Google cloud

8. Supported Runners
• Google Cloud Dataflow (Block/Non-Blocking)
• Apache Flink 1.1.2
• Apache Spark 1.6.2 Hadoop 2.2.0 Kafka 0.8.2.1

9. API, model, and engine

10. Architecture
• Pipelines
• Translators
• Runners

11. programming tips/ Flink
• Use the Flink DataStream API in Java and Scala
• Use the Beam API directly in Java (and soon
Python) with the Flink runner

12. SDK
• Four Parts :
• Pipeline : Streaming & Batch Processing
• PCollection
• Transform
• I/O : Source & Sink

13. for Flink user
• we encourage users to use either of the Beam or Flink
APIs to implement their Flink jobs for stream data
processing.
• But Native Flink API -
• backwards-compatible API
• built-in libraries (e.g., CEP and upcoming SQL)
• key-value state (with the ability to query that state in
the future)

14. Demo
• GDELT project
• EventCount by Location
Pileline

15. Recap
• Write the general data pipeline, and choose your
runner

16. Next…
• New Runners, SDK (python still dev)
• DSL

17. Another things
• BigQuery have DML support!!! https://goo.gl/

• DataStudio Beta in Taiwan is available
• Embulk
• Fluentd v0.14.6 - 2016/09/07
