Building an Effective Data Warehouse ArchitectureJames Serra
Why use a data warehouse? What is the best methodology to use when creating a data warehouse? Should I use a normalized or dimensional approach? What is the difference between the Kimball and Inmon methodologies? Does the new Tabular model in SQL Server 2012 change things? What is the difference between a data warehouse and a data mart? Is there hardware that is optimized for a data warehouse? What if I have a ton of data? During this session James will help you to answer these questions.
Making Data Timelier and More Reliable with Lakehouse TechnologyMatei Zaharia
Enterprise data architectures usually contain many systems—data lakes, message queues, and data warehouses—that data must pass through before it can be analyzed. Each transfer step between systems adds a delay and a potential source of errors. What if we could remove all these steps? In recent years, cloud storage and new open source systems have enabled a radically new architecture: the lakehouse, an ACID transactional layer over cloud storage that can provide streaming, management features, indexing, and high-performance access similar to a data warehouse. Thousands of organizations including the largest Internet companies are now using lakehouses to replace separate data lake, warehouse and streaming systems and deliver high-quality data faster internally. I’ll discuss the key trends and recent advances in this area based on Delta Lake, the most widely used open source lakehouse platform, which was developed at Databricks.

Enabling a Data Mesh Architecture with Data VirtualizationDenodo
Watch full webinar here: https://bit.ly/3rwWhyv
The Data Mesh architectural design was first proposed in 2019 by Zhamak Dehghani, principal technology consultant at Thoughtworks, a technology company that is closely associated with the development of distributed agile methodology. A data mesh is a distributed, de-centralized data infrastructure in which multiple autonomous domains manage and expose their own data, called “data products,” to the rest of the organization.
Organizations leverage data mesh architecture when they experience shortcomings in highly centralized architectures, such as the lack domain-specific expertise in data teams, the inflexibility of centralized data repositories in meeting the specific needs of different departments within large organizations, and the slow nature of centralized data infrastructures in provisioning data and responding to changes.
In this session, Pablo Alvarez, Global Director of Product Management at Denodo, explains how data virtualization is your best bet for implementing an effective data mesh architecture.
You will learn:
- How data mesh architecture not only enables better performance and agility, but also self-service data access
- The requirements for “data products” in the data mesh world, and how data virtualization supports them
- How data virtualization enables domains in a data mesh to be truly autonomous
- Why a data lake is not automatically a data mesh
- How to implement a simple, functional data mesh architecture using data virtualization
Troubleshooting Kerberos in Hadoop: Taming the BeastDataWorks Summit
Kerberos is the ubiquitous authentication mechanism when it comes to secure any Hadoop Services. With recent updates in Hadoop core and various Apache Hadoop components, inherent Kerberos support has matured and has come a long way.
Understanding & configuring Kerberos is still a challenge but even more painful & frustrating is troubleshooting a Kerberos issue. There are lot of things (small & big) that can go wrong (and will go wrong!). This talk covers the Kerberos debugging part in detail and discusses the tools & tricks that can be used to narrow down any Kerberos issue.
Rather than discussing the issues and their resolution, we will focus on how to approach a Kerberos problem and do's / dont's in Kerberos scene. This talk will provide a step by step guide that will equip the audience for troubleshooting future Kerberos problems.
Agenda is to discuss:
- Systematic approach to Kerberos troubleshooting
- Kerberos Tools available in Hadoop arsenal
- Tips & Tricks to narrow down Kerberos issues quickly
- Some nasty Kerberos issues from Support trenches
Some prior knowledge on Kerberos basics will be appreciated but is not a prerequisite.

[DSC Europe 22] Lakehouse architecture with Delta Lake and Databricks - Draga...DataScienceConferenc1
Dragan Berić will take a deep dive into Lakehouse architecture, a game-changing concept bridging the best elements of data lake and data warehouse. The presentation will focus on the Delta Lake format as the foundation of the Lakehouse philosophy, and Databricks as the primary platform for its implementation.
The world of data architecture began with applications. Next came data warehouses. Then text was organized into a data warehouse.
Then one day the world discovered a whole new kind of data that was being generated by organizations. The world found that machines generated data that could be transformed into valuable insights. This was the origin of what is today called the data lakehouse. The evolution of data architecture continues today.
Come listen to industry experts describe this transformation of ordinary data into a data architecture that is invaluable to business. Simply put, organizations that take data architecture seriously are going to be at the forefront of business tomorrow.
This is an educational event.
Several of the authors of the book Building the Data Lakehouse will be presenting at this symposium.
SQL Analytics Powering Telemetry Analysis at ComcastDatabricks
Comcast is one of the leading providers of communications, entertainment, and cable products and services. At the heart of it is Comcast RDK providing the backbone of telemetry to the industry. RDK (Reference Design Kit) is pre-bundled opensource firmware for a complete home platform covering video, broadband and IoT devices. RDK team at Comcast analyzes petabytes of data, collected every 15 minutes from 70 million devices (video and broadband and IoT devices) installed in customer homes. They run ETL and aggregation pipelines and publish analytical dashboards on a daily basis to reduce customer calls and firmware rollout. The analysis is also used to calculate WIFI happiness index which is a critical KPI for Comcast customer experience.
In addition to this, RDK team also does release tracking by analyzing the RDK firmware quality. SQL Analytics allows customers to operate a lakehouse architecture that provides data warehousing performance at data lake economics for up to 4x better price/performance for SQL workloads than traditional cloud data warehouses.

Applying Testing Techniques for Big Data and HadoopMark Johnson
Testing “Big Data” can mean big time investment; several hours often spent just realize you made a simple typo. You fix the typo and then wait another couple hours for your script to hopefully this time run to completion. Even if the Big Data script or program ran to completion are you sure your data analysis is correct? Getting programs to run to completion and to assure functional accuracy per the requirements are some of the biggest hidden problems in big data today.
During this overview presentation we will first introduce unit and functional testing techniques and high level concepts to consider in the Hadoop Ecosystem. The second half of the presentation we will explore real testing examples using tools such as PigUnit, JUnit for UDF testing, BeeTest and Hive limited test data set testing.
Big Data, Big Trouble: Getting into the Flow of Hadoop TestingTechWell
Big Data, one of the latest buzzwords in our industry, involves working with petabytes of data captured by various systems and making sense of that data in some way. Maryam Umar has found that testing systems like Hadoop is very challenging because of the frequency with which the data arrives in the system, the number of jobs that run to process that data, and the interdependency of the data. Maryam describes some of the projects at Hotels.com which involve identifying multiple users and using that data to make recommendations of hotels. Testing this is fairly difficult as we need an ability to represent the jobs being executed in the Hadoop ecosystem with an appropriate test tool. Maryam presents a few examples of how she has been able to overcome this challenge using the Oozie workflow coordinator as a test tool that works with the Hadoop file system (HDFS). She demonstrates how test code can be written in a non-testing tool to help gain confidence in the data produced as a result of running a job processor.

SQL Analytics Powering Telemetry Analysis at ComcastDatabricks
Comcast is one of the leading providers of communications, entertainment, and cable products and services. At the heart of it is Comcast RDK providing the backbone of telemetry to the industry. RDK (Reference Design Kit) is pre-bundled opensource firmware for a complete home platform covering video, broadband and IoT devices. RDK team at Comcast analyzes petabytes of data, collected every 15 minutes from 70 million devices (video and broadband and IoT devices) installed in customer homes. They run ETL and aggregation pipelines and publish analytical dashboards on a daily basis to reduce customer calls and firmware rollout. The analysis is also used to calculate WIFI happiness index which is a critical KPI for Comcast customer experience.
In addition to this, RDK team also does release tracking by analyzing the RDK firmware quality. SQL Analytics allows customers to operate a lakehouse architecture that provides data warehousing performance at data lake economics for up to 4x better price/performance for SQL workloads than traditional cloud data warehouses.
We present the results of the “Test and Learn” with SQL Analytics and the delta engine that we worked in partnership with the Databricks team. We present a quick demo introducing the SQL native interface, the challenges we faced with migration, The results of the execution and our journey of productionizing this at scale.

Applying Testing Techniques for Big Data and HadoopMark Johnson
Testing “Big Data” can mean big time investment; several hours often spent just realize you made a simple typo. You fix the typo and then wait another couple hours for your script to hopefully this time run to completion. Even if the Big Data script or program ran to completion are you sure your data analysis is correct? Getting programs to run to completion and to assure functional accuracy per the requirements are some of the biggest hidden problems in big data today.
During this overview presentation we will first introduce unit and functional testing techniques and high level concepts to consider in the Hadoop Ecosystem. The second half of the presentation we will explore real testing examples using tools such as PigUnit, JUnit for UDF testing, BeeTest and Hive limited test data set testing.
Big Data, Big Trouble: Getting into the Flow of Hadoop TestingTechWell
Big Data, one of the latest buzzwords in our industry, involves working with petabytes of data captured by various systems and making sense of that data in some way. Maryam Umar has found that testing systems like Hadoop is very challenging because of the frequency with which the data arrives in the system, the number of jobs that run to process that data, and the interdependency of the data. Maryam describes some of the projects at Hotels.com which involve identifying multiple users and using that data to make recommendations of hotels. Testing this is fairly difficult as we need an ability to represent the jobs being executed in the Hadoop ecosystem with an appropriate test tool. Maryam presents a few examples of how she has been able to overcome this challenge using the Oozie workflow coordinator as a test tool that works with the Hadoop file system (HDFS). She demonstrates how test code can be written in a non-testing tool to help gain confidence in the data produced as a result of running a job processor.

Query Wizards - data testing made easy - no programmingRTTS
Fast and easy. No Programming needed. The latest QuerySurge release introduces the new Query Wizards. The Wizards allow both novice and experienced team members to validate their organization's data quickly with no SQL programming required.
The Wizards provide an immediate ROI through their ease-of-use and ensure that minimal time and effort are required for developing tests and obtaining results. Even novice testers are productive as soon as they start using the Wizards!
According to a recent survey of Data Architects and other data experts on LinkedIn, approximately 80% of columns in a data warehouse have no transformations, meaning the Wizards can test all of these columns quickly & easily, (The columns with transformations can be tested using the QuerySurge Design library using custom SQL coding.)
There are 3 Types of automated Data Comparisons:
- Column-Level Comparison
- Table-Level Comparison
- Row Count Comparison
There are also automated features for filtering (‘Where’ clause) and sorting (‘Order By’ clause).
The Wizards provide both novices and non-technical team members with a fast & easy way to be productive immediately and speed up testing for team members skilled in SQL.
Trial our software either as a download or in the cloud at www.QuerySurge.com. The trial comes with a built-in tutorial and sample data.

Data Warehouse Testing in the Pharmaceutical IndustryRTTS
In the U.S., pharmaceutical firms and medical device manufacturers must meet electronic record-keeping regulations set by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The regulation is Title 21 CFR Part 11, commonly known as Part 11.
Part 11 requires regulated firms to implement controls for software and systems involved in processing many forms of data as part of business operations and product development.
Enterprise data warehouses are used by the pharmaceutical and medical device industries for storing data covered by Part 11 (for example, Safety Data and Clinical Study project data). QuerySurge, the only test tool designed specifically for automating the testing of data warehouses and the ETL process, has been effective in testing data warehouses used by Part 11-governed companies. The purpose of QuerySurge is to assure that your warehouse is not populated with bad data.
In industry surveys, bad data has been found in every database and data warehouse studied and is estimated to cost firms on average $8.2 million annually, according to analyst firm Gartner. Most firms test far less than 10% of their data, leaving at risk the rest of the data they are using for critical audits and compliance reporting. QuerySurge can test up to 100% of your data and help assure your organization that this critical information is accurate.
QuerySurge not only helps in eliminating bad data, but is also designed to support Part 11 compliance.

How to Automate your Enterprise Application / ERP TestingRTTS
Your organization has a major system that is central to running its business.
-Maybe it’s an ERP system running SAP, Oracle, Lawson or maybe a CRM system running Salesforce or Microsoft Dynamics,
- or it’s a banking or trading system at a bank or other financial institution,
- or an HR system running payroll through PeopleSoft or Workday
Whatever the system is, it is constantly sending or receiving data feeds (generally in XML or flat file formats) to or from a customer, vendor, or another internal system.
These major data interfaces are present in companies across every industry — from Financials to Pharmaceuticals, and Retail to Utilities — and they are handling data that is crucial to each business. As systems become more complex, it becomes more difficult for you to catch bad records or major data defects effectively before they reach their target system.
Catch those "hard-to-find" data defects
Your systems could be sending/receiving hundreds of feeds from different applications or data sources and each with different owners. In these circumstances, you may have little to no control over the format or quality of the data. Now this data needs to be integrated, mapped, and transformed into your systems. Can your existing manual testing process handle this task?
The challenges you’re facing:
Business: You’re working under time and resource constraints, so you need to speed up testing yet still increase coverage of data tested
Technology: There is no easy way to natively test flat files, XML files, databases or Excel against any other data format
Resources: You do not have enough people to test all of the data from the data feeds all of the time
You know that this data needs to be consistently accurate and reliable — and catching any bad data or data defects seems almost impossible.
Solve your Data Interface testing challenges
QuerySurge is built to automate the testing for any movement of data, testing simple or complex transformations (ETL), as well as data movement without any transformation.
- Test across different platforms, whether Big Data, data warehouse, database(s), NoSQL document store, flat files, json, web services or xml.
- Automate the testing effort from the kickoff of tests to the data comparison to auto-emailing the results.
- Speed up data testing and validation by as much as 1,000 times.
- Schedule tests to run immediately, every Tuesday at 2:00am or after an event, such as an ETL job, triggers the tests.
- Utilize the Data Analytics Dashboard and Data Intelligence Reports to analyze your data testing.
- Get 100% coverage with a dramatic decrease in testing time
It will allow you to quickly compare file to file, file to XML, and XML/files to a database without having to import your files into a database first (it also compares database to database).

Whitepaper: Volume Testing Thick Clients and DatabasesRTTS
Even in the current age of cloud computing there are still endless benefits of developing thick client software: non-dependency on browser version, offline support, low hosting fees, and utilizing existing end user hardware, to name a few.
It's more than likely that your organization is utilizing at least a few thick client applications. Now consider this: as your user base grows, does your think client's back-end server need to grow as well? How quickly? How do you ensure that you provide the correct amount of additional capacity without overstepping and unnecessarily eating into your profits? The answer is volume testing.
Read how RTTS does this with IBM Rational Performance Tester.

Providing Globus Services to Users of JASMIN for Environmental Data AnalysisGlobus
JASMIN is the UK’s high-performance data analysis platform for environmental science, operated by STFC on behalf of the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). In addition to its role in hosting the CEDA Archive (NERC’s long-term repository for climate, atmospheric science & Earth observation data in the UK), JASMIN provides a collaborative platform to a community of around 2,000 scientists in the UK and beyond, providing nearly 400 environmental science projects with working space, compute resources and tools to facilitate their work. High-performance data transfer into and out of JASMIN has always been a key feature, with many scientists bringing model outputs from supercomputers elsewhere in the UK, to analyse against observational or other model data in the CEDA Archive. A growing number of JASMIN users are now realising the benefits of using the Globus service to provide reliable and efficient data movement and other tasks in this and other contexts. Further use cases involve long-distance (intercontinental) transfers to and from JASMIN, and collecting results from a mobile atmospheric radar system, pushing data to JASMIN via a lightweight Globus deployment. We provide details of how Globus fits into our current infrastructure, our experience of the recent migration to GCSv5.4, and of our interest in developing use of the wider ecosystem of Globus services for the benefit of our user community.
Globus Compute wth IRI Workflows - GlobusWorld 2024Globus
As part of the DOE Integrated Research Infrastructure (IRI) program, NERSC at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and ALCF at Argonne National Lab are working closely with General Atomics on accelerating the computing requirements of the DIII-D experiment. As part of the work the team is investigating ways to speedup the time to solution for many different parts of the DIII-D workflow including how they run jobs on HPC systems. One of these routes is looking at Globus Compute as a way to replace the current method for managing tasks and we describe a brief proof of concept showing how Globus Compute could help to schedule jobs and be a tool to connect compute at different facilities.
Code reviews are vital for ensuring good code quality. They serve as one of our last lines of defense against bugs and subpar code reaching production.

In this session we will cover:
- The Art of Effective Code Reviews
- Streamlining the Review Process
- Elevating Reviews with Automated Tools
By the end of this presentation, you'll have the knowledge on how to organize and improve your code review proces
First Steps with Globus Compute Multi-User EndpointsGlobus
In this presentation we will share our experiences around getting started with the Globus Compute multi-user endpoint. Working with the Pharmacology group at the University of Auckland, we have previously written an application using Globus Compute that can offload computationally expensive steps in the researcher's workflows, which they wish to manage from their familiar Windows environments, onto the NeSI (New Zealand eScience Infrastructure) cluster. Some of the challenges we have encountered were that each researcher had to set up and manage their own single-user globus compute endpoint and that the workloads had varying resource requirements (CPUs, memory and wall time) between different runs. We hope that the multi-user endpoint will help to address these challenges and share an update on our progress here.

Paketo Buildpacks : la meilleure façon de construire des images OCI? DevopsDa...Anthony Dahanne
Les Buildpacks existent depuis plus de 10 ans ! D’abord, ils étaient utilisés pour détecter et construire une application avant de la déployer sur certains PaaS. Ensuite, nous avons pu créer des images Docker (OCI) avec leur dernière génération, les Cloud Native Buildpacks (CNCF en incubation). Sont-ils une bonne alternative au Dockerfile ? Que sont les buildpacks Paketo ? Quelles communautés les soutiennent et comment ?

17. 2 Prevalent DataTesting Strategies
built by
1) Stare & Compare
(also known as sampling)
2) Minus Queries
18. Strategy #1: Stare & Compare
built by
QuerySurge™
• Review Mapping Document (business rules, data flow mapping, data movement requirements)
• Write Tests in SQL editor
• Execute 2 Tests: 1 at Source & 1 at Target
• Dump results to 2 Excel files
• Compare results by eye (‘Stare & Compare’ or ‘sampling’)
Issue with Stare & Compare:
Impossible to visually compare billions of data sets.
Result: usually less than 1% of data is compared
Example:
Current QuerySurge customer has:
• a single test with 100 million rows & 200 columns
• = 20 billion data sets
• the client has > 7,000 total tests
19. built by
QuerySurge™
MINUS QUERIES subtract one result set from another result set to show difference
Comment: MINUS QUERIES need to be executed 2x (Source MINUS Target; Target MINUS Source)
Result sets may not be accurate when dealing with duplicate rows of data
No historical data from past testing – audit and regulatory issues
Processing of minus queries puts pressure on the servers
Double execution means 2x testing time and resource utilization
Potential for false positives (bad data could exist on both sides of an ETL leg)
DataTesting Strategy #2: Minus Queries
Minus Query #1: Table_1 MINUS Table_2
Minus Query #2: Table_2 MINUS Table_1
Result Set #1
Result Set #2
ISSUES with MINUS QUERIES
Write 2 MINUS queries

Proof
of
Concept
Informatica’s software is the premier used for ETL, but was not mentioned in Gartner’s report because they don’t have DW software.
QuerySurge provides insight into the health of your data throughout your organization through BI dashboards and reporting at your fingertips. It is a collaborative tool that allows for distributed use of the tool throughout your organization and provides for a sharable, holistic view of your data’s health and your organization’s level of maturity of your data management.
QuerySurge can utilized by active practitioners such as testers & developers to create and launch tests, or by managers, analysts and operations to view data test results and the overall health of the data. QuerySurge facilitates this by providing 2 types of licenses: (1) full user & (2) participant user.
(1) Full User – This type of user has unlimited access to create QueryPairs, Suites, and Scenarios. This user can also schedule and run tests, see results, run and export reports, and export data. Perfect for anyone creating and/or running data tests while performing analysis of results.
(2) Participant User – This user cannot create or run tests, but has access to all other information - including viewing all query pairs, results, and reports, receiving email notifications, and exporting test results and reports. Perfect for managers, analysts, architects, DBAs, developers, and operations users who need to know the health of their data.
Your distributed team from around the world can use any of these web browsers: Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox and Safari.
Installs on operating systems: Windows & Linux.
QS connects to any JDBC-compliant data source. Even if it is not listed here.
QuerySurge finds bad data by natively connecting to:
any data source, whether it is any type of database, flat file or xml and
can connect to any data target, whether it is a db, file, xml, data warehouse or hadoop implementation.
QuerySurge pulls data from the source and the target and compares them very quickly (typically in a few minutes) and then produces reports that show every data difference, even if there are millions of rows and hundreds of columns in the test. These reports can be automatically emailed to your team.
You can pick from a multitude of reports or export the results so that you can build your own reports.
