This presentation will describe the analytics-to-cloud migration initiative underway at Fannie Mae. The goal of this effort is threefold: (1) build a sustainable process for data lake hydration on the cloud and (2) modernize the Fannie Mae enterprise data warehouse infrastructure and (3) retire Netezza.
Fannie Mae partnered with Impetus for modernization of its Netezza legacy analytics platform. This involved the use of the Impetus Workload Migration solution—a sophisticated translation engine that automated the migration of their complex Netezza stored procedures, shell and scheduler scripts to Apache Spark compatible scripts. This delivered substantial savings in time, effort and cost, while reducing overall project risk.
Included in the scope of the automation project was an automated assessment capability to perform detailed profiling of the current workloads. The output from the assessment stage was a data-driven offloading blueprint and roadmap for which workloads to migrate. A hybrid cloud-based big data solution was designed based on that. In addition to fulfilling the essential requirement of historical (and incremental) data migration and automated logic translation, the solution also recommends optimal storage formats for the data in the cloud, performing SCD Type 1 and Type 2 for mission-critical parameters and reloading the transformed data back for reporting/analytical consumption.
This will include the following topics:
i. Fannie Mae analytics overview
ii. Why cloud migration for analytics?
iii. Approach, major challenges, lessons learned

About the talk:
Business Rules are statements that describe business policies or procedures to process data. Rules engines or inference engines execute business rules in a runtime production environment, and have become commonplace for many IT applications. Except in the world of big data, where there has been a gap for a horizontally scalable, lightweight inference-based business rules engine for big data processing.
In this session, you learn about Cask’s new business Rule Rngine built on top of CDAP, which is a sophisticated if-then-else statement interpreter that runs natively on big data systems such as Spark, Hadoop, Amazon EMR, Azure HDInsight and GCE. It provides an alternative computational model for transforming your data while empowering business users to specify and manage the transformations and policy enforcements.
In his talk, Nitin Motgi, Cask co-founder and CTO, demonstrates this new, distributed rule engine and explain how business users in big data environments can make decisions on their data, enforce policies, and be an integral part of the data ingestion and ETL process. He also shows how business users can write, manage, deploy, execute and monitor business data transformation and policy enforcements.

Protecting your Critical Hadoop Clusters Against DisastersDataWorks Summit
Our enterprise customers are deploying business critical applications on Hadoop clusters and now, want a business continuity solution -that will protect against disasters and cover both processed and unstructured data with varying recovery point objective (RPO) requirements. Our customers are also asking for backup & restore of select unstructured data and databases, in case of accidental deletion by users. They are asking us to automagically tier and move data that becomes less frequently accessed over time to a high-density, slower media or cloud. We will unveil a product suite that is going to solve those customer pain points in phases, starting with Disaster Recovery of Hadoop eco-system with a single source of truth enforcement. We will also cover the deep dive architecture that required extensive changes in Hive, HDFS, Ranger, Atlas (more in pipeline) and demonstrate the end to end functioning of our data lifecycle management.

In the last few years, Data Virtualization technology has experienced tremendous growth, emerging as a key component for enabling modern data architectures such as the logical data warehouse, data fabric, and data mesh.
Gartner recently named it “a must-have data integration component” and estimated that it results in 45% cost savings in data integration, while Forrester has estimated 65% faster data delivery than ETL processes.
However, there are still misconceptions in the market about data virtualization technology, how it can be leveraged, and the real benefits that it can provide.
Catch this on-demand session where we review these misconceptions and discuss:
- What data virtualization is and what it is not
- Key capabilities of a modern data virtualization platform
- How to leverage data virtualization for faster data delivery

Which Change Data Capture Strategy is Right for You?Precisely
Change Data Capture or CDC is the practice of moving the changes made in an important transactional system to other systems, so that data is kept current and consistent across the enterprise. CDC keeps reporting and analytic systems working on the latest, most accurate data.
Many different CDC strategies exist. Each strategy has advantages and disadvantages. Some put an undue burden on the source database. They can cause queries or applications to become slow or even fail. Some bog down network bandwidth, or have big delays between change and replication.
Each business process has different requirements, as well. For some business needs, a replication delay of more than a second is too long. For others, a delay of less than 24 hours is excellent.
Which CDC strategy will match your business needs? How do you choose?
View this webcast on-demand to learn:
• Advantages and disadvantages of different CDC methods
• The replication latency your project requires
• How to keep data current in Big Data technologies like Hadoop

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

3. 1. INTRODUCTION
Corporate network shares information with participating
companies of a common interest.
Companies reduce their operational cost and increase
the revenue.
Delivers elastic data sharing services.
Provides economical , flexible and scalable platform.
Based on pay as you go business model. 3
4. 2. OVERVIEW OF THE BESTPEER++
SYSTEM
BestPeer data management platform
Adaptive join query processing
distributed online aggregation techniques to provide efficient
query processing.
BestPeer++, cloud enabled evolution of BestPeer
Distributed access control
Multiple types of indexes
Pay-as-you-go query processing for delivering elastic data
sharing services in the cloud.
The software components of BestPeer++ are separated
into two parts:-
1. Core.
2. Adapter. 4
5. AMAZON CLOUD ADAPTER
Elastic hardware infrastructure for BestPeer++ to
operate on by using Amazon Cloud services.
Launching/terminating dedicated MySQL database
servers and monitoring/ backup/auto-scaling those
servers.
Finally, the Amazon Cloud Adapter also provides
automatic fail-over service.
5
6. THE BESTPEER++ CORE
Platform-independent
logic, including query
processing and P2P
overlay.
Cloud adapter and
consists of two software
components:
1. Bootstrap peer.
2. Normal peer.
6
7. 3. BOOTSTRAP PEER
The bootstrap peer is run by the BestPeer++ service
provider, and its main functionality is to manage the
BestPeer+ + network
1. Managing Normal Peer Join/Departure.
2. Auto Fail-Over and Auto-Scaling.
7
8. MANAGING NORMAL PEER JOIN/DEPARTURE
Each normal peer intends to join an existing
corporate network must first connect to the
bootstrap peer.
The joined peer will receive the corporate network
information including the current participants, global
schema, role definitions, and an issued certificate.
When a normal peer needs to leave the network, it
also notifies the bootstrap peer first.
8
9. AUTO FAIL-OVER AND AUTO-SCALING
In addition to managing peer join and peer
departure.
The bootstrap peer spends most of its running-time
on monitoring the health of normal peers.
Scheduling fail-over and auto-scaling events.
9
10. 4.NORMAL PEER
Offline data flow
The data are extracted
periodically by a data
loader from the business
production system to the
normal peer instance.
Online data flow
The query processor
performs user queries
using a fetch and
process strategy.
10
11. SCHEMA MAPPING
Defines the mapping between the local schema of
each production system and the global shared
schema.
The mapping consists of metadata mappings and
value mappings and also support instance level
mapping.
11
12. DATA LOADER
Extracts data from production systems to normal peer
instances according to the result of schema mapping.
The data loader also creates a snapshot of the newly
inserted data.
At interval times, re-extracts data from the production system
to create a new snapshot.
This snapshot is then compared to the previously stored one
to detect data changes.
Finally, the changes are used to update the MySQL database
hosted in the normal peer. 12
13. DATA INDEXER
BATON
The first range, R0, is the subdomain maintained by
the node.
The second range, R1, is the domain of the sub tree
rooted at the node. 13
14. DISTRIBUTED ACCESS CONTROL
The basic idea is to use roles as templates to
capture common data access privileges and allow
businesses to override these privileges to meet
their specific needs.
The information of the users created at one peer is
forwarded to the bootstrap peer and then
broadcasted to other normal peers also.
The local administrator at this peer can easily
define the role-based access control for any user.
14
15. PAY-AS-YOU-GO QUERY PROCESSING
BestPeer++ provides two services for the
participants:
1. Storage service
2. Search service
After data are exported from the local business
system into a BestPeer++ instance, we apply the
schema mapping rules to transform them into the
predefined formats.
15
16. 5.BENCHMARKING
This section evaluates the performance and throughput
of BestPeer++ on Amazon cloud platform.
1. For the performance benchmark, they compare the
query latency of BestPeer++ with HadoopDB using
five queries selected from typical corporate network
applications workloads.
2. For the throughput benchmark, they create a simple
supply-chain network consisting of suppliers and
retailers and study the query throughput of the
system.
16
17. 6.ADVANTAGES OF BESTPEER++
1. Deliver near linear query throughput as the number of
normal peers grows.
2. BestPeer++ adopts the pay-as-you-go business model
popularized by cloud computing.
3. The role-based access control for the inherent distributed
environment of corporate networks.
4. P2P technology to retrieve data between business
partners.
5. Efficient data sharing within corporate networks. 17
18. 7.CONCLUSION
The benchmark conducted on Amazon EC2 cloud
platform shows that our system can efficiently
handle typical workloads in a corporate network
and can deliver near linear query throughput as the
number of normal peers grows.
Therefore, BestPeer++ is a promising solution for
efficient data sharing within corporate networks.
