Getting started with apache flink streaming apiPreetdeep Kumar
This document provides an overview of Apache Flink's streaming API. It first defines streaming data and common examples. It then discusses typical streaming data architectures involving data sources, collection, ingestion, processing, storage and visualization. The document also summarizes Flink's high-level design and components. Finally, it outlines the typical workflow for a Flink DataStream, including creating an execution environment, adding a source, creating a DataStream, partitioning, defining windows, applying business logic, and sending results to a sink.
Elasticsearch is a distributed, open source search and analytics engine based on the Apache Lucene library. It allows for schemaless documents stored in JSON format to be indexed and searched in near real-time. Elasticsearch uses concepts like clusters, nodes, shards, and replicas to provide scalability. It exposes various APIs to perform operations on documents, aggregations, search, and manage indices and clusters. Mappings define how documents are stored and indexed, while analysis converts text to tokens using tokenizers and filters.
The document discusses efficient Spring Data REST development. It defines REST as a software architectural style using HTTP to access and manipulate web resources represented as text. It describes the REST architectural style of using stateless operations like GET, POST, PUT, PATCH and DELETE on a resource's URL. It also discusses ETags for caching and conditional requests, generating REST events through annotated handlers or application listeners, using projections and excerpts for customized views of resources, and reactive access to repositories for streaming results.
This document discusses Azure Logic Apps, which allow users to automate workflows and integrate apps, data, and systems. It provides an overview of what Logic Apps are, how they work using connectors and triggers, and when they should be used compared to Microsoft Flow. The presentation includes demonstrations of creating a Logic App and using connectors and triggers to automate tasks and integrate services.
Blockchain algorithms differ between blockchains and include various consensus algorithms such as proof-of-work, proof-of-stake, delegated proof-of-stake, proof of elapsed time, proof-of-activity, and proof-of-importance. The document then provides brief descriptions of proof-of-work, proof-of-stake, proof of elapsed time, proof-of-activity, and proof-of-importance consensus algorithms. It concludes by advertising blockchain development services from Bitdeal to help clients choose the optimal consensus algorithm for their private blockchain network.
This document provides an overview of authorization models and how Open Policy Agent (OPA) can be used for authorization in microservices. It defines common authorization models like ACL, DAC, MAC, RBAC, and ABAC and provides examples of how they work. It then discusses how OPA uses a declarative policy language called Rego to specify authorization policies and can offload policy decision making through REST APIs. The document demonstrates integrating OPA by evaluating policies and managing policies. It shows a demo of OPA enforcing a simple salary access policy.
This document discusses Microsoft's Project Bletchley and blockchain initiatives. It provides an overview of blockchain regulatory compliance capabilities, digital transformation opportunities in financial services, and the large number of financial services regulators engaged.

Understanding Blockchain: Distributed Ledger TechnologySuraj Kumar Jana
A complete introduction to Distributed Ledger Technology and Blockchain. Also, get introduced to Hyperledger, an open source permissioned blockchain framework by The Linux Foundation.
The document discusses the roles and responsibilities of a computer systems analyst. It explains that a systems analyst provides assistance to users in solving computer problems, tests and monitors systems and programs, coordinates computer systems for compatibility, recommends new equipment or software, documents systems requirements and activities, and gathers both technical and functional requirements. The document also defines DHCP server, subnetting, the differences between SSH and SSL, and outlines some software usage policies and best practices for registration, auditing, and record keeping that a systems analyst can implement in an organization.
Hyperledger Composer is a framework for developing blockchain applications that focuses on business logic rather than technical implementation details. It allows users to model assets, participants, transactions and events using familiar programming concepts. These models are used to generate code for a distributed ledger that can integrate with existing systems. Composer provides tools for modeling, access control, transaction processing and deployment to distributed ledgers like Hyperledger Fabric.

The document outlines an electronic requisition system plan for purchasing office supplies. It includes an executive summary describing the key internal departments (purchasing, management, receiving, accounts payable) and external vendor involved. Diagrams are provided showing the data flow and logical structure of the system. Forms and reports that will be used are also described, such as a requisition order form, purchase order, and receipt. The goal is to streamline the approval and purchasing process electronically.
Apache Spark Streaming -Real time web server log analyticsANKIT GUPTA
This document discusses using Apache Spark Streaming to perform real-time analytics on web server log data streaming through Apache Kafka. It describes using Spark Streaming to process micro batches of log data and compute statistics like top URLs and client IP addresses. The architecture involves using Kafka as the ingestion layer, Spark Streaming for aggregation and analysis, and storing results in storage layers like HDFS and Power BI for visualization of dashboards and reports. Sample statistics, visualizations, and a 6-node Cloudera cluster environment are also outlined.
Slides for the talk by Dr Michael Zargham at the University of Pennsylvania's Warren Center for Network and Data Sciences on April 19, 2018. Concepts, formal theory and data is presented.
SQLite is a small, self-contained, zero-configuration, transactional SQL database that requires no setup or administration. It is widely used due to its small size and simplicity, with no server dependency or configuration required. SQLite is ideal for lightweight database needs such as embedded systems and websites, and includes a full-text search engine for indexing and searching large bodies of text.
This document describes a blockchain project for secure money transactions between friends. It discusses how blockchain works using distributed ledgers and blocks of transactions. Each block contains transaction data, a nonce, and a hash. The project requirements are defined, then the process is outlined as writing code to generate exchanges, construct blocks, check transaction validity, and create a distributed ledger system. In conclusion, blockchain provides a new way to securely transfer money that is difficult to hack due to its distributed nature.
Information systems analysis and requirements analysis produces a requirements specification. This specification states the project goal and the related data storage, data movement
Configuring cisco asa and pix firewalls part3IT Tech
The document discusses configuring objects and rules in Firewall Builder for Cisco ASA and PIX firewalls. It describes how to create network and address objects to represent IP addresses and subnets. It then explains how to configure rules by setting the source, destination, service, action, and other attributes by dragging and dropping the appropriate objects. The document provides an example of two completed rules that allow SSH access to the firewall from an internal network and HTTP access from the internal network to an external web server.
GET calls are never nullipotent as they often have side effects like updating access logs or enforcing access control rules. While side effects are acceptable if they are expected behaviors in the domain or produce no observable changes, strictly speaking GET is not nullipotent. Additionally, HTTP verbs like POST and PUT do not always map directly to create and update operations in REST APIs. Response codes beyond 200 OK are also often used to indicate semantic errors rather than just syntax or transport errors. Finally, fully implementing HATEOAS with every response may not be practical or needed for many REST APIs.

Automating Workflows Through Bullhorn and PartnersJeremyOtt5
The document discusses automating workflows through Bullhorn's automation framework and partnerships with third-party providers like Herefish. It outlines the problems automation can solve, introduces Bullhorn's conditions and outcomes approach, and provides examples of automating tasks like updating records and invoking webhooks or serverless functions in response to events. Specific use cases demonstrated include updating a candidate's availability date when a placement ends and creating a job submission record via a webhook call.
Over the last few years, enterprises have come to realize how blockchain, the technology that powers public networks such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, can be used to streamline their own business processes. However, they have also found that most existing blockchain protocols fail to meet several key enterprise requirements—including acceptable transaction throughput and latency, confidentiality, effective governance, and computational efficiency (i.e., the energy cost for mining/proof of work). Efforts to adapt existing public blockchain protocols or to create new protocols to meet these needs have generally traded one required enterprise attribute for another—such as improved confidentiality at the cost of greater complexity or lower performance.
The Coco Framework is an open-source system that enables high-scale, confidential blockchain networks that meet all key enterprise requirements—providing a means to accelerate production enterprise adoption of blockchain technology. Coco achieves this by re-evaluating existing assumptions for public blockchain protocols in the context of a confidential consortium, where nodes and actors (including voting members and other non-voting participants) are explicitly declared and controlled. Based on this new set of requirements, Coco brings together the power of existing blockchain protocols, trusted execution environments, distributed systems, and cryptography to enable enterprise-ready blockchain networks that deliver: • Throughput and latency approaching database speeds. • Richer, more flexible, business-specific confidentiality models. • Network policy management through distributed governance. • Support for non-deterministic transactions. • Reduced energy consumption.
The document discusses using hypermedia to enable machine APIs. It proposes describing intrinsic device resources and controls using physical concepts to enable application discovery. Hypermedia controls would work like HTTP links and forms but for functional abstractions of physical items. Contextual information would also be used in discovery. An example uses a lighting model mapped to IPSO objects controlled via hypermedia annotations and bindings to protocols like CoAP and LWM2M. Thing descriptions would provide high-level abstractions of device actions, events and properties with defined protocol bindings.

Explaining how we use Inversion of Control at Criteo to create very effective types of services
https://hashiconf.hashicorp.com/schedule/inversion-of-control-with-consul
The world of business applications is changing. Monolithic applications are being broken up into smaller services. The inherent symmetry of CRUD operations has been bifurcated by the emergence of GraphQL and its discrete input and output types. Enterprise users are expecting their interfaces to have capabilities present in consumer apps they use in their personal lives. It is time for business application architectures to evolve. The properties of a reactive system (responsive, resilient, elastic and message driven) are aligned with what application developers strive to achieve in their work. Borrowing ideas from Event Sourcing and CQRS, we will go over in depth the design and implementation of an application that is helping power Netflix’s studio. We will discuss how each of the properties of a reactive system is a desired property in modern cloud-based architectures. GraphQL, tracking data provenance, and observability will all be discussed.

Open Source Contributions to Postgres: The Basics POSETTE 2024ElizabethGarrettChri
Postgres is the most advanced open-source database in the world and it's supported by a community, not a single company. So how does this work? How does code actually get into Postgres? I recently had a patch submitted and committed and I want to share what I learned in that process. I’ll give you an overview of Postgres versions and how the underlying project codebase functions. I’ll also show you the process for submitting a patch and getting that tested and committed.
3. AuthoritySpoke tries to
take another step forward
• Building detailed legal rule models
• Breaking up legal research into
small units of work
• And automating them
4. AuthoritySpoke models
legal rules as “Procedure”
and “Authority”
• Legal rules say what procedures
are possible in litigation
• Legal opinions say which legal
rules are valid in the court’s
jurisdiction
9. Or check many pairs of
holdings for contradictions,
one pair at a time
10. AuthoritySpoke will look for an
analogy between the fact
patterns of two cases, thus
“explaining” the conclusion that
two holdings contradict
11. “Add” two Holdings by
using the outputs of one
as the inputs of the next
12. Or use Python’s pipe
operator to combine
holdings like sets of factors
13. Coming in version 0.3
and beyond
• “Intersection” operator for finding a rule consistent
with two other rules
• Functions for exporting AuthoritySpoke models to
databases and the web
• API specification for data imports
• Text selectors to view the opinion passages
relevant to each holding and factor
• Updates to show standard statute citation formats
