https://fifthelephant.talkfunnel.com/2015/15-processing-large-data-with-apache-spark
Covering Big Data Overview, Spark Overview, Spark Internals and its supported libraries
The world has changed and having one huge server won’t do the job anymore, when you’re talking about vast amounts of data, growing all the time the ability to Scale Out would be your savior. Apache Spark is a fast and general engine for big data processing, with built-in modules for streaming, SQL, machine learning and graph processing.
This lecture will be about the basics of Apache Spark and distributed computing and the development tools needed to have a functional environment.
An Engine to process big data in faster(than MR), easy and extremely scalable way. An Open Source, parallel, in-memory processing, cluster computing framework. Solution for loading, processing and end to end analyzing large scale data. Iterative and Interactive : Scala, Java, Python, R and with Command line interface.
Introduction to TitanDB, describes the need of graph database and provides an overview of TitanDB and Tinkerpop. Listing the core features that TitanDB provides us and why we should be using TitanDB in case we choose to build our application with graph database.
Extending the R API for Spark with sparklyr and Microsoft R Server with Ali Z...Databricks
There’s a growing number of data scientists that use R as their primary language. While the SparkR API has made tremendous progress since release 1.6, with major advancements in Apache Spark 2.0 and 2.1, it can be difficult for traditional R programmers to embrace the Spark ecosystem.
In this session, Zaidi will discuss the sparklyr package, which is a feature-rich and tidy interface for data science with Spark, and will show how it can be coupled with Microsoft R Server and extended with it’s lower-level API to become a full, first-class citizen of Spark. Learn how easy it is to go from single-threaded, memory-bound R functions to multi-threaded, multi-node, out-of-memory applications that can be deployed in a distributed cluster environment with minimal amount of code changes. You’ll also get best practices for reproducibility and performance by looking at a real-world case study of default risk classification and prediction entirely through R and Spark.

2015 01-17 Lambda Architecture with Apache Spark, NextML ConferenceDB Tsai
Lambda architecture is a data-processing architecture designed to handle massive quantities of data by taking advantage of both batch- and stream-processing methods. In Lambda architecture, the system involves three layers: batch processing, speed (or real-time) processing, and a serving layer for responding to queries, and each comes with its own set of requirements.
In batch layer, it aims at perfect accuracy by being able to process the all available big dataset which is an immutable, append-only set of raw data using distributed processing system. Output will be typically stored in a read-only database with result completely replacing existing precomputed views. Apache Hadoop, Pig, and HIVE are
the de facto batch-processing system.
In speed layer, the data is processed in streaming fashion, and the real-time views are provided by the most recent data. As a result, the speed layer is responsible for filling the "gap" caused by the batch layer's lag in providing views based on the most recent data. This layer's views may not be as accurate as the views provided by batch layer's views created with full dataset, so they will be eventually replaced by the batch layer's views. Traditionally, Apache Storm is
used in this layer.
In serving layer, the result from batch layer and speed layer will be stored here, and it responds to queries in a low-latency and ad-hoc way.
One of the lambda architecture examples in machine learning context is building the fraud detection system. In speed layer, the incoming streaming data can be used for online learning to update the model learnt in batch layer to incorporate the recent events. After a while, the model can be rebuilt using the full dataset.
Why Spark for lambda architecture? Traditionally, different
technologies are used in batch layer and speed layer. If your batch system is implemented with Apache Pig, and your speed layer is implemented with Apache Storm, you have to write and maintain the same logics in SQL and in Java/Scala. This will very quickly becomes a maintenance nightmare. With Spark, we have an unified development framework for batch and speed layer at scale. In this talk, an end-to-end example implemented in Spark will be shown, and we will
discuss about the development, testing, maintenance, and deployment of lambda architecture system with Apache Spark.
The state of analytics has changed dramatically over the last few years. Hadoop is now commonplace, and the ecosystem has evolved to include new tools such as Spark, Shark, and Drill, that live alongside the old MapReduce-based standards. It can be difficult to keep up with the pace of change, and newcomers are left with a dizzying variety of seemingly similar choices. This is compounded by the number of possible deployment permutations, which can cause all but the most determined to simply stick with the tried and true. In this talk I will introduce you to a powerhouse combination of Cassandra and Spark, which provides a high-speed platform for both real-time and batch analysis.

Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.

Data Centers - Striving Within A Narrow Range - Research Report - MCG - May 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) expects to see demand and the changing evolution of supply, facilitated through institutional investment rotation out of offices and into work from home (“WFH”), while the ever-expanding need for data storage as global internet usage expands, with experts predicting 5.3 billion users by 2023. These market factors will be underpinned by technological changes, such as progressing cloud services and edge sites, allowing the industry to see strong expected annual growth of 13% over the next 4 years.
Whilst competitive headwinds remain, represented through the recent second bankruptcy filing of Sungard, which blames “COVID-19 and other macroeconomic trends including delayed customer spending decisions, insourcing and reductions in IT spending, energy inflation and reduction in demand for certain services”, the industry has seen key adjustments, where MCG believes that engineering cost management and technological innovation will be paramount to success.
MCG reports that the more favorable market conditions expected over the next few years, helped by the winding down of pandemic restrictions and a hybrid working environment will be driving market momentum forward. The continuous injection of capital by alternative investment firms, as well as the growing infrastructural investment from cloud service providers and social media companies, whose revenues are expected to grow over 3.6x larger by value in 2026, will likely help propel center provision and innovation. These factors paint a promising picture for the industry players that offset rising input costs and adapt to new technologies.
According to M Capital Group: “Specifically, the long-term cost-saving opportunities available from the rise of remote managing will likely aid value growth for the industry. Through margin optimization and further availability of capital for reinvestment, strong players will maintain their competitive foothold, while weaker players exit the market to balance supply and demand.”
Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.

Cassandra Lunch #95: Spark Graph Operations with DSEGraphFrames Scala API
1. Version 1.0
Spark Graph Operations with
DSEGraphFrames Scala API
Scala libraries for interacting and processing data from
graph databases like DSE Graph.
Obioma Anomnachi
Engineer @ Anant
2. DSE Graph
● DSE Graph is a distributed graph database built on top of Cassandra that is part of Datastax
Enterprise (DSE)
○ It maintains many of the advantages of using Casandra/DSE, including potentially global distribution, zero
downtime, and DSE security protection
○ It also gains many of the benefits of being a graph database, namely in storage and analysis of complex and
inter-related data sets
● Can combine with DSEs included Search and Analytics capabilities
● Integrates with DSE support tools like OpsCenter and Datastax Studio
3. DSE Graph Analytics
● Most graph traversals (operations done using the adjacency of nodes and edges within a graph)
can be done in real time without making use of DSE Analytics aka Spark resources
○ Deep queries are traverals on a graph with extremely high density or branching factor (nodes are on average
connected to a large number of other nodes)
○ Scan queries traverse whole graphs or large parts of graphs
○ Either of these can require memory or computational resources beyond what the normal processing of graph
queries can provide
■ In these cases we can get better performance by having these queries run via DSE Analytics
● There are two methods for performing Analytical queries on DSE graph instances
○ OLAP queries use an alternate traversal source that uses the SparkGraphComputer to run queries on the
DSE Analytics nodes
○ The DSEGraphFrames library, support a subset of the Gremlin graph traversal language for use in Java and
Scala applications running on Spark
4. OLAP Queries
● Normal DSE Graph queries use Online Transactional Processing (OLTP)
○ Consists of a large number of short transactions for processing queries quickly
○ Used primarily for data entry and retrieval
○ Uses filters and subgraphs to speed up access to data in specific parts of the larger graph
● Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) is a Spark backed method for performing multidimensional
data analysis
○ Takes longer that OLTP queries
○ Works by interpreting the graph as a sequence of “star graphs” centered on a single vertex
○ For queries that process over the entire graph or at least large portions of a graph
5. DSE GraphFrame
● Spark API for analytics operations on DSE Graph
○ Inspired by Databricks’ GraphFrame library
○ Supports a subset of Gremlin graph traversal language
○ Faster than OLAP queries for doing filtering and counts
● Graph represented as two virtual tables
○ V() method for vertex dataframe
○ E() method for edge dataframe
● Can be used to import/export graphs
● Also supports a subset of Apache Tinkerpop traversals
