Which storage technology, HDDs or SSDs, excels in big data architecture? SSDs clearly win on speed, offering higher sequential read/write speeds and higher IOPS. However, deploying SSDs in hundreds or thousands of nodes could add up to a very expensive proposition. A better approach identifies critical locations where SSDs enable immediate cost-per-performance wins. This whitepaper will look at the basics of big data tools, review two performance wins with SSDs in a well-known framework, as well as present some examples of emerging opportunities on the leading edge of big data technology.
Historically, the tradeoff of hard disk drives (HDDs) versus solid state drives (SSDs) in enterprises has revolved around three variables: capacity, endurance and price. This whitepaper looks at how increased capacity and durability is expanding SSD applications in the data center.
Benchmarking Performance: Benefits of PCIe NVMe SSDs for Client WorkloadsSamsung Business USA
The transition from Serial ATA (SATA ) to Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) interface and Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) protocol is taking client storage to a new level. This white paper discusses the benefits that PCIe NVMe SSDs, such as Samsung’s 950 PRO, bring to client PC users. Client PC workloads are not always well understood in the industry, since common benchmarking utilities tend to focus on measuring maximum performance rather than performance under typical PC usage. This white paper looks at actual IO traces of PC workloads to better understand how client SSDs should be benchmarked, and also tests the 950 PRO against other Samsung SSDs to show how PCIe and NVMe improve IO performance in tests that represent real-world IO activity.
Searching for a faster SSD for enterprise applications? With all the acronyms, the choice can be confusing. But when we step through all the technology options, they lead to one clear choice. Check out the infographic to learn more about M.2 SSDs.

Backing up data is a key component in data protection. However, long backup windows can cause headaches for IT and users while slowing down the network. We found that using source-side deduplication and Rapid CIFS technology to back up data to the Dell DR6000 Disk Backup Appliance was faster—with the average rate of data backup at 8.99 TB per hour. The backup to the DR6000 completed in two-thirds the time that the backup to the industry-leading deduplication appliance completed. Backing up to the DR6000 consumed less than one-sixth the bandwidth needed to back up to the industry-leading deduplication appliance. In addition, the DR6000 needed less rack space and cost a third less than the competition. The solution to lengthy backup windows is clear: Save time and network bandwidth with source-side deduplication built into the Dell DR6000 Disk Backup Appliance.

Finding a server that can deliver the right balance of high workload performance, density, and RAS features can help you meet both infrastructure and business goals at the same time.
In our tests, the single-width Dell PowerEdge M820 blade delivered 19.3 percent better Oracle Database 12c performance than the HP ProLiant BL680c G7 in half the space, meaning it could deliver 2.38 times more transactions per U. The value of the denser Dell PowerEdge M820 was clear in our cost analysis of the two systems. Because the Dell PowerEdge M820 takes up less space, you need fewer enclosures, less rack space, and can save on port costs. In our sample comparison of two performance-equivalent solutions, we found that the Dell PowerEdge M820 solution could save up to 42.1 percent compared to an HP ProLiant BL680c G7 solution. That’s money that you can use to buy even more servers for greater performance or to innovate elsewhere. We also found that the Dell PowerEdge M820 took high availability into account by utilizing key RAS features to help increase your workload uptime.
If you’re looking for a dense blade solution to lower costs with the power to handle your important workloads and keep them running, our study shows that the Dell PowerEdge M820 blade addresses all those concerns.

Virtual SAN - A Deep Dive into Converged Storage (technical whitepaper)DataCore APAC
DataCore™ Virtual SAN introduces the next evolution in Software-defined Storage (SDS) by creating high-performance and highly-available shared storage pools using the disks and flash storage in your servers. It addresses
the requirements for fast and reliable access to storage across a cluster of servers at remote sites as well as in high-performance applications.
DataCore Virtual SAN virtualizes the local storage on two or more physical x86-64 servers. It can leverage any combination of magnetic disks (SAS, SATA) and optionally flash, to provide persistent storage services as close to the application as possible without having to go out over the wire (network or fabric). Virtual disks provisioned from DataCore Virtual SAN can also be shared across the cluster to support the dynamic migration and failover of applications between hosts.
DataCore Virtual SAN addresses the challenges that exist today within many IT organisations such as single points of failure, poor application performance (particularly within virtualized environments), low storage efficiency and utilisation, and high infrastructure costs.

Big data is data that, by virtue of its velocity, volume, or variety (the three Vs), cannot be easily stored or analyzed with traditional methods. Hadoop is an open-source software framework for storing data and running applications on clusters of commodity hardware.
The data management industry has matured over the last three decades, primarily based on relational database management system(RDBMS) technology. Since the amount of data collected, and analyzed in enterprises has increased several folds in volume, variety and velocityof generation and consumption, organisations have started struggling with architectural limitations of traditional RDBMS architecture. As a result a new class of systems had to be designed and implemented, giving rise to the new phenomenon of “Big Data”. In this paper we will trace the origin of new class of system called Hadoop to handle Big data.

Infrastructure Considerations for Analytical WorkloadsCognizant
Using Apache Hadoop clusters and Mahout for analyzing big data workloads yields extraordinary performance; we offer a detailed comparison of running Hadoop in a physical vs. virtual infrastructure environment.
Introduction to Big Data and Hadoop using Local Standalone Modeinventionjournals
Big Data is a term defined for data sets that are extreme and complex where traditional data processing applications are inadequate to deal with them. The term Big Data often refers simply to the use of predictive investigation on analytic methods that extract value from data. Big data is generalized as a large data which is a collection of big datasets that cannot be processed using traditional computing techniques. Big data is not purely a data, rather than it is a complete subject involves various tools, techniques and frameworks. Big data can be any structured collection which results incapability of conventional data management methods. Hadoop is a distributed example used to change the large amount of data. This manipulation contains not only storage as well as processing on the data. Hadoop is an open- source software framework for dispersed storage and processing of big data sets on computer clusters built from commodity hardware. HDFS was built to support high throughput, streaming reads and writes of extremely large files. Hadoop Map Reduce is a software framework for easily writing applications which process vast amounts of data. Wordcount example reads text files and counts how often words occur. The input is text files and the result is wordcount file, each line of which contains a word and the count of how often it occurred separated by a tab.
Asterix Solution’s Hadoop Training is designed to help applications scale up from single servers to thousands of machines. With the rate at which memory cost decreased the processing speed of data never increased and hence loading the large set of data is still a big headache and here comes Hadoop as the solution for it.

Design Issues and Challenges of Peer-to-Peer Video on Demand System cscpconf
P2P media streaming and file downloading is most popular applications over the Internet.
These systems reduce the server load and provide a scalable content distribution. P2P
networking is a new paradigm to build distributed applications. It describes the design
requirements for P2P media streaming, live and Video on demand system comparison based on their system architecture. In this paper we described and studied the traditional approaches for P2P streaming systems, design issues, challenges, and current approaches for providing P2P VoD services.
Survey of Parallel Data Processing in Context with MapReduce cscpconf
MapReduce is a parallel programming model and an associated implementation introduced by
Google. In the programming model, a user specifies the computation by two functions, Map and Reduce. The underlying MapReduce library automatically parallelizes the computation, and handles complicated issues like data distribution, load balancing and fault tolerance. The original MapReduce implementation by Google, as well as its open-source counterpart,Hadoop, is aimed for parallelizing computing in large clusters of commodity machines.This paper gives an overview of MapReduce programming model and its applications. The author has described here the workflow of MapReduce process. Some important issues, like fault tolerance, are studied in more detail. Even the illustration of working of Map Reduce is given. The data locality issue in heterogeneous environments can noticeably reduce the Map Reduce performance. In this paper, the author has addressed the illustration of data across nodes in a way that each node has a balanced data processing load stored in a parallel manner. Given a data intensive application running on a Hadoop Map Reduce cluster, the auhor has exemplified how data placement is done in Hadoop architecture and the role of Map Reduce in the Hadoop Architecture. The amount of data stored in each node to achieve improved data-processing performance is explained here.
Asserting that Big Data is vital to business is an understatement. Organizations have generated more and more data for years, but struggle to use it effectively. Clearly Big Data has more important uses than ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. In addition, data is being generated with greater velocity, due to the advent of new pervasive devices (e.g., smartphones, tablets, etc.), social Web sites (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.) and other sources like GPS, Google Maps, heat/pressure sensors, etc.
Implementation of Multi-node Clusters in Column Oriented Database using HDFSIJEACS
Generally HBASE is NoSQL database which runs in the Hadoop environment, so it can be called as Hadoop Database. By using Hadoop distributed file system and map reduce with the implementation of key/value store as real time data access combines the deep capabilities and efficiency of map reduce. Basically testing is done by using single node clustering which improved the performance of query when compared to SQL, even though performance is enhanced, the data retrieval becomes complicated as there is no multi node clusters and totally based on SQL queries. In this paper, we use the concepts of HBase, which is a column oriented database and it is on the top of HDFS (Hadoop distributed file system) along with multi node clustering which increases the performance. HBase is key/value store which is Consistent, Distributed, Multidimensional and Sorted map. Data storage in HBase in the form of cells, and here those cells are grouped by a row key. Hence our proposal yields better results regarding query performance and data retrieval compared to existing approaches.

6 ways Samsung Kiosk gives retailers an all-in-one self-service solutionSamsung Business USA
Self-service retail solutions have been gaining popularity for years, and COVID-19 rapidly accelerated the widespread adoption of contactless technology. Now, consumers expect self-service options everywhere they shop — from checking out at the grocery store to placing an order at a furniture outlet.
According to the 2021 State of Self-Checkout Experiences report from Retail Today, 60 percent of the 1,000 respondents said they opt for a self-service kiosk rather than a cashier whenever possible. The demand for convenience and increased safety isn't likely to wane, so retailers must find ways to meet this demand, or risk losing customers to competing brands that do offer self-service.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Big Data SSD Architecture: Digging Deep to Discover Where SSD Performance Pays Off
1. White Paper:
Big Data SSD Architecture
Digging Deep to Discover Where SSD Performance Pays Off
2. Big data is much more than
just “lots of data”. State-of-the-
art applications gather data
from many different sources in
varying formats with complex
relationships. Analytics yield
insight into events, trends, and
behaviors, and may adapt in
real-time depending on specific
findings. These data sets can
indeed grow extremely large,
with captured sequences kept
for future analysis.
Traditional database tools
usually handle data with pre-
determined structures and
fixed relationships, typically on
a scale-up server and storage
cluster. Often, these tools link
with some transactional process,
providing front-end services for
users while capturing back-end
data. Larger deployments may
use a data warehouse, which
consolidates data from various
applications into one managed,
reliable repository of information
for enterprise decision-making.
New distributed, flexible, and
scalable tools for multi-sourced
and poly-structured big data
typically employ numbers
of less-expensive network
processing and storage systems.
Rather than forcing all data into
a massive warehouse before
examination, distributed big data
processing nodes can relieve
architectural stress points with
localized processing. For larger
tasks, local nodes can join in
global processing, increasing
parallelism and supporting
chained jobs.
Which storage technology, hard
disk drives (HDDs) or solid-state
drives (SSDs), excels in big data
architecture? SSDs clearly win
on speed, offering both higher
sequential read/write speeds and
higher input/output operations
per second (IOPS). A naïve
approach might replace all HDDs
with SSDs everywhere in a big
data system. However, deploying
SSDs in hundreds or thousands
of nodes could add up to a
very expensive proposition. A
better approach identifies critical
locations where SSDs enable
immediate cost-per-performance
wins, and integrating HDDs used
in less stressful roles to save on
system costs.
This whitepaper will look at the
basics of big data tools, review
two performance wins with SSDs
in a well-known framework, as
well as present some examples
of emerging opportunities on
the leading edge of big
data technology.

3. Finding those precise locations
where SSDs speed up big
data operations is a hot topic.
Researchers are digging deep
inside architectures looking
for spots where HDDs are
overwhelmed and slowing things
down. Before we introduce
findings from some of these
studies, a quick overview of big
data tools and terminology is
in order.
Apache Hadoop is one of
the most well known tools
associated with big data
architecture. Its framework
provides a straightforward way to
distribute and manage data on
multiple networked computers
– nodes – and schedule
processing resources for
applications. First released at the
end of 2011, Hadoop has gained
massive popularity in search
engine, social networking, and
cloud computing infrastructure.1
Hadoop leverages parallelism for
both storage and computational
resources. Instead of storing a
very large file in a single location,
Hadoop spreads files across
many nodes. This effectively
multiplies available file system
bandwidth. Nodes also contain
processing elements, allowing
scheduling of jobs and tasks
across multiple heterogeneous
machines simultaneously. The
architecture provides fault
resilience; data is replicated on
multiple Hadoop nodes, and if a
node is down, another replaces
it. Adding nodes enhances
scalability, with large instances
achieving hundreds of petabytes
of storage.
Inside Hadoop are two primary
engines: HDFS (Hadoop
Distributed File System) and
MapReduce. Both run on the
same nodes concurrently.
HDFS manages files across a
cluster containing a NameNode
tracking metadata and a number
of DataNodes containing the
actual data. HDFS maintains
data and rack (physical location)
awareness between jobs and
tasks, minimizing network
transfers. It rebalances data
within a cluster automatically,
and supports snapshots,
upgrades, and rollback for
maintenance. Data can be
accessed via a Java API, web
browsers and a REST API, or
other languages via the Thrift
API. Applications using HDFS
include the Apache HBase non-
relational distributed database
modeled after Google Big Table,
and the Apache Hive data
warehouse manager. Hadoop
is open to other distributed
file systems with varying
functionality.2
MapReduce is an engine for
parallel, distributed processing.
A job separates a large input
data set into smaller chunks,
with data represented in (key,
value) pairs. Map tasks process
these chunks in parallel, then
an intermediate shuffle function
sorts the results passed to
Reduce tasks for mathematical
operations. MapReduce is
by nature disk-based, batch
oriented, and non-real-time.3

4. Most computing jobs fall into
one of two categories: compute
intensive, or I/O intensive. Studying
the MapReduce workload, a
team from Cloudera4
deployed
one SSD versus several HDDs to
approximate the same theoretical
aggregate sequential read/write
bandwidth, isolating performance
differences.
Hadoop clusters with all SSDs
outperformed HDD clusters by as
much 70% under some workloads
in the Cloudera study. SSDs also
achieve about twice the actual
sequential I/O size with lower
latency supporting more task
scheduling. For some workloads,
the difference is less. Chopping
up large files means sequential
access is not the limiting factor
– exactly what Hadoop intends
to achieve. However, when file
granularity exceeds what node
memory can hold, an important
change occurs:
“In practice, independent
of I/O concurrency, there
is negligible disk I/O for
intermediate data that fits
in memory, while a large
amount of intermediate
data leads to severe load
on the disks.”
—The Truth About Map
Reduce Performance on
SSDs, 2014
MapReduce actually involves
three phases: Map, shuffle, and
Reduce. The intermediate shuffle
operation stores its results in
a single file on local disk. By
targeting shuffle results to an
SSD using the mapred.local.dir
parameter, performance increases
dramatically. Splitting the SSD
into multiple data directories
also improves sequential read/
write task scheduling. Hybrid
configurations with HDDs and a
properly configured SSD may be
the most cost-effective quick win
for Hadoop performance.
Hadoop also presents compute-
intensive opportunities. To quote
Apache, “moving computation is
cheaper than moving data.”
A Microsoft study suggests that
most analytics jobs do not use
huge data sets, citing a data point
from Facebook that 90% of jobs
have input sizes under 100 GB.5
Their suggestion is to “scale-up,”
but what they describe is actually
a converged modular server with
32 cores and paired SSD storage,
bypassing HDFS for local access.
One point Microsoft makes
strongly: “… Without SSDs,
many Hadoop jobs become
disk-bound.”
New PCIe SSDs using the latest
NVMe protocol will be ideal
to support compute-intensive
workloads and keep the network
free. This is vital for use cases
such as streaming content
and incoming IoT sensor data.
Removing storage latency also
allows more Hadoop jobs to be
scheduled. Some applications,
such as Bayesian classification
used in machine learning, chain
Hadoop jobs.
y concentrating processing on
bigger multicore servers with
all-SSD storage for some jobs,
Microsoft finds that overall Hadoop
cluster performance increases.
Their suggested architecture is
a mix of bigger all-SSD nodes
and smaller, less expensive
nodes (perhaps with hybrid drive
configurations) combined in a
scale-out approach, handling
a range of Hadoop job sizes
most efficiently.

5. Open source projects attract
innovation, and big data is
no exception. The basics
of Hadoop, HDFS, and
MapReduce are established,
and researchers are turning to
other sophisticated techniques.
In many cases, SSDs still
hold the key to performance
improvement.
Virtualization can consolidate
multiple nodes on scale-up
servers, but inserts significant
overhead. Samsung researchers
found that Hadoop instances
running over Xen virtualization
suffer from 50% to 83%
degradation in sort-based
benchmarks using HDDs.
The same configurations with
SSDs fell only 10% to 21%
running on a virtualized system.
Further analysis reveals why
– virtualization decreases
I/O block size and increases
the number of requests, an
environment where SSDs
perform better.6
At Facebook, using HBase
over HDFS for the message
stack simplifies development,
but introduces performance
issues. Messages are small
files; 90% are less than 15 MB.
Compounding the problem, I/O
is random and “hot” frequently
used data is often too large
for RAM. Part of their solution
is a 60 GB SSD configured as
HBase cache that more than
triples performance through
reduced latency.7
Several efforts are after “in-
memory” benefits. Aerospike
has created a hybrid RAM/
SSD architecture for a NoSQL
database. Smaller files are in
RAM, accessed with raw read/
write bypassing the Linux file
system, while larger files are
on low-latency SSDs. Indices
also reside in RAM. Data on
the SSDs is contiguous and
optimized for “one read per
record.”8
Teams at Virginia Tech
redesigned HDFS for tiered
storage clusters.9
Their study
on hatS (heterogeneity-aware
tiered storage) shows the value
of aiming more requests at PCIe
SSDs. All 27 worker nodes have
a SATA HDD (3 racks, 9 nodes
each), nine nodes have a SATA
SSD (3 per rack), and three
nodes have a PCIe SSD (1 in
each rack). Running a synthetic
Facebook benchmark and hatS,
the average I/O rate of HDFS
increases 36%, and execution
time falls 26%.
Spark, a new in-memory
architecture that could
supplant MapReduce, allows
programs to load resilient
distributed datasets (RDDs)
into cluster memory.10
Spark
redefines shuffle algorithms,
with each processor core (in
earlier releases, each map
task) creating a number of
shuffle result files matching
the number of reduce tasks.
Contrary to popular belief,
Spark RDDs can spill to disk
for persistence. Benchmarks
by Databricks deploying Spark
on 206 Amazon EC2 i2x8large
nodes with Amazon’s SSD-
based S3 storage recently broke
sort records, three times faster
using one-tenth the number
of machines of an equivalent
Hadoop implementation.
MIT researchers find that if in-
memory servers go to disk as
little as 5%, the overhead can
nullify gains from RAM-based
nodes.11
Their experiment
uses Xilinx FPGAs with ARM
processing cores to pre-process
Samsung SSD access in an
interconnect fabric. A small
cluster with 20 servers achieves
near RAM-based speeds on
image search, PageRank,
and Memcached algorithms.
This proves the value of tightly
coupled nodes combining
processing with an SSD.
