Flink's network stack is designed with two goals in mind: (a) having low latency for data passing through, and (b) achieving an optimal throughput. It already achieves a good trade-off between these two but we will continue to tune it further for an optimal one. Flink 1.5 did not only further reduce overhead inside the network stack, but also introduced some groundbreaking changes in the stack itself, introducing an own (credit-based) flow control mechanism and a general change towards a more network-event-driven pull approach. With our own flow control, we steer what data is sent on the wire and make sure that the receiver has capacity to handle it. If there is no capacity, we will backpressure earlier and allow checkpoint barriers to pass through more quickly which improves checkpoint alignment and overall checkpoint speed.
In this talk, we will describe in detail how the network stack works with respect to (de)serialization, memory management and buffer pools, the different actor threads involved, configuration, as well as the design to improve throughput and latency trade-offs in the network and processing pipelines. We will go into detail on what is happening during checkpoint alignments and how credit-based flow control improves them. Additionally, we will present common pitfalls as well as debugging techniques to find network-related issues in your Flink jobs.
Optimizing Servers for High-Throughput and Low-Latency at DropboxScyllaDB
I'm going to discuss the efficiency/performance optimizations of different layers of the system. Starting from the lowest levels like hardware and drivers: these tunings can be applied to pretty much any high-load server. Then we’ll move to Linux kernel and its TCP/IP stack: these are the knobs you want to try on any of your TCP-heavy boxes. Finally, we’ll discuss library and application-level tunings, which are mostly applicable to HTTP servers in general and nginx/envoy specifically.
For each potential area of optimization I’ll try to give some background on latency/throughput tradeoffs (if any), monitoring guidelines, and, finally, suggest tunings for different workloads.
Also, I'll cover more theoretical approaches to performance analysis and the newly developed tooling like `bpftrace` and new `perf` features.
Druid: Sub-Second OLAP queries over Petabytes of Streaming DataDataWorks Summit
When interacting with analytics dashboards in order to achieve a smooth user experience, two major key requirements are sub-second response time and data freshness. Cluster computing frameworks such as Hadoop or Hive/Hbase work well for storing large volumes of data, although they are not optimized for ingesting streaming data and making it available for queries in realtime. Also, long query latencies make these systems sub-optimal choices for powering interactive dashboards and BI use-cases.
In this talk we will present Druid as a complementary solution to existing hadoop based technologies. Druid is an open-source analytics data store, designed from scratch, for OLAP and business intelligence queries over massive data streams. It provides low latency realtime data ingestion and fast sub-second adhoc flexible data exploration queries.
Many large companies are switching to Druid for analytics, and we will cover how druid is able to handle massive data streams and why it is a good fit for BI use cases.
Agenda -
1) Introduction and Ideal Use cases for Druid
2) Data Architecture
3) Streaming Ingestion with Kafka
4) Demo using Druid, Kafka and Superset.
5) Recent Improvements in Druid moving from lambda architecture to Exactly once Ingestion
6) Future Work
Seamless replication and disaster recovery for Apache Hive WarehouseDataWorks Summit
As Apache Hadoop clusters become central to an organization’s operations, they have clusters in more than one data center. Historically, this has been largely driven by requirements of business continuity planning or geo localization. It has also recently been gaining a lot of interest from a hybrid cloud perspective, i.e. wherein people are trying to augment their traditional on-prem setup with cloud-based additions as well. A robust replication solution is a fundamental requirement in such cases.
Seamless disaster recovery has several challenges. Data, metadata, and transaction information need to be moved in sync. It should also be easy for the users and applications to reason about the state of the replica. The “hadoop scale” also brings unique challenges as bandwidth between clusters can be a limiting factor. The data transfer has to be minimized for replication, failover, as well as fail back scenarios.
In this talk we will discuss how the above challenges are addressed for supporting seamless replication and disaster recovery for Hive.

Linux Performance Analysis: New Tools and Old SecretsBrendan Gregg
Talk for USENIX/LISA2014 by Brendan Gregg, Netflix. At Netflix performance is crucial, and we use many high to low level tools to analyze our stack in different ways. In this talk, I will introduce new system observability tools we are using at Netflix, which I've ported from my DTraceToolkit, and are intended for our Linux 3.2 cloud instances. These show that Linux can do more than you may think, by using creative hacks and workarounds with existing kernel features (ftrace, perf_events). While these are solving issues on current versions of Linux, I'll also briefly summarize the future in this space: eBPF, ktap, SystemTap, sysdig, etc.

Webinar: Deep Dive on Apache Flink State - Seth WiesmanVerverica
Apache Flink is a world class stateful stream processor presents a huge variety of optional features and configuration choices to the user. Determining out the optimal choice for any production environment and use-case be challenging. In this talk, we will explore and discuss the universe of Flink configuration with respect to state and state backends.
We will start with a closer look under the hood, at core data structures and algorithms, to build the foundation for understanding the impact of tuning parameters and the costs-benefit-tradeoffs that come with certain features and options. In particular, we will focus on state backend choices (Heap vs RocksDB), tuning checkpointing (incremental checkpoints, ...) and recovery (local recovery), serializers and Apache Flink's new state migration capabilities.
Evening out the uneven: dealing with skew in FlinkFlink Forward

Changelog Stream Processing with Apache FlinkFlink Forward
Flink Forward San Francisco 2022.
The world is constantly changing. Data is continuously produced and thus should be consumed in a similar fashion by enterprise systems. Only this enables real-time decisions at scale. Message logs such as Apache Kafka can be found in almost every architecture, while databases and other batch systems still provide the foundation. Change Data Capture (CDC) propagates changes downstream. In this talk, we will highlight what it means to be a general data processor and how Flink can act as an integration hub. We present the current state of Flink and how it can power various use cases on both finite and infinite streams. We demonstrate Flink's SQL engine as a changelog processor that is shipped with an ecosystem tailored to process CDC data and maintain materialized views. We will use Kafka as an upsert log, Debezium for connecting to databases, and enrich streams of various sources. Finally, we will combine Flink's Table API with DataStream API for event-driven applications beyond SQL.

Introducing BinarySortedMultiMap - A new Flink state primitive to boost your ...Flink Forward
Flink Forward San Francisco 2022.
Probably everyone who has written stateful Apache Flink applications has used one of the fault-tolerant keyed state primitives ValueState, ListState, and MapState. With RocksDB, however, retrieving and updating items comes at an increased cost that you should be aware of. Sometimes, these may not be avoidable with the current API, e.g., for efficient event-time stream-sorting or streaming joins where you need to iterate one or two buffered streams in the right order. With FLIP-220, we are introducing a new state primitive: BinarySortedMultiMapState. This new form of state offers you to (a) efficiently store lists of values for a user-provided key, and (b) iterate keyed state in a well-defined sort order. Both features can be backed efficiently by RocksDB with a 2x performance improvement over the current workarounds. This talk will go into the details of the new API and its implementation, present how to use it in your application, and talk about the process of getting it into Flink.

Building a fully managed stream processing platform on Flink at scale for Lin...Flink Forward
Apache Flink is a distributed stream processing framework that allows users to process and analyze data in real-time. At LinkedIn, we developed a fully managed stream processing platform on Flink running on K8s to power hundreds of stream processing pipelines in production. This platform is the backbone for other infra systems like Search, Espresso (internal document store) and feature management etc. We provide a rich authoring and testing environment which allows users to create, test, and deploy their streaming jobs in a self-serve fashion within minutes. Users can focus on their business logic, leaving the Flink platform to take care of management aspects such as split deployment, resource provisioning, auto-scaling, job monitoring, alerting, failure recovery and much more. In this talk, we will introduce the overall platform architecture, highlight the unique value propositions that it brings to stream processing at LinkedIn and share the experiences and lessons we have learned.

Flink Forward San Francisco 2022.
To improve Amazon Alexa experiences and support machine learning inference at scale, we built an automated end-to-end solution for incremental model building or fine-tuning machine learning models through continuous learning, continual learning, and/or semi-supervised active learning. Customer privacy is our top concern at Alexa, and as we build solutions, we face unique challenges when operating at scale such as supporting multiple applications with tens of thousands of transactions per second with several dependencies including near-real time inference endpoints at low latencies. Apache Flink helps us transform and discover metrics in near-real time in our solution. In this talk, we will cover the challenges that we faced, how we scale the infrastructure to meet the needs of ML teams across Alexa, and go into how we enable specific use cases that use Apache Flink on Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics to improve Alexa experiences to delight our customers while preserving their privacy.

The Apache Flink Kubernetes Operator provides a consistent approach to manage Flink applications automatically, without any human interaction, by extending the Kubernetes API. Given the increasing adoption of Kubernetes based Flink deployments the community has been working on a Kubernetes native solution as part of Flink that can benefit from the rich experience of community members and ultimately make Flink easier to adopt. In this talk we give a technical introduction to the Flink Kubernetes Operator and demonstrate the core features and use-cases through in-depth examples."

Resource Elasticity is a frequently requested feature in Apache Flink: Users want to be able to easily adjust their clusters to changing workloads for resource efficiency and cost saving reasons. In Flink 1.13, the initial implementation of Reactive Mode was introduced, later releases added more improvements to make the feature production ready. In this talk, we’ll explain scenarios to deploy Reactive Mode to various environments to achieve autoscaling and resource elasticity. We’ll discuss the constraints to consider when planning to use this feature, and also potential improvements from the Flink roadmap. For those interested in the internals of Flink, we’ll also briefly explain how the feature is implemented, and if time permits, conclude with a short demo.

Dynamically Scaling Data Streams across Multiple Kafka Clusters with Zero Fli...Flink Forward
Flink Forward San Francisco 2022.
Flink consumers read from Kafka as a scalable, high throughput, and low latency data source. However, there are challenges in scaling out data streams where migration and multiple Kafka clusters are required. Thus, we introduced a new Kafka source to read sharded data across multiple Kafka clusters in a way that conforms well with elastic, dynamic, and reliable infrastructure. In this presentation, we will present the source design and how the solution increases application availability while reducing maintenance toil. Furthermore, we will describe how we extended the existing KafkaSource to provide mechanisms to read logical streams located on multiple clusters, to dynamically adapt to infrastructure changes, and to perform transparent cluster migrations and failover.

One sink to rule them all: Introducing the new Async SinkFlink Forward
Flink Forward San Francisco 2022.
Next time you want to integrate with a new destination for a demo, concept or production application, the Async Sink framework will bootstrap development, allowing you to move quickly without compromise. In Flink 1.15 we introduced the Async Sink base (FLIP-171), with the goal to encapsulate common logic and allow developers to focus on the key integration code. The new framework handles things like request batching, buffering records, applying backpressure, retry strategies, and at least once semantics. It allows you to focus on your business logic, rather than spending time integrating with your downstream consumers. During the session we will dive deep into the internals to uncover how it works, why it was designed this way, and how to use it. We will code up a new sink from scratch and demonstrate how to quickly push data to a destination. At the end of this talk you will be ready to start implementing your own Flink sink using the new Async Sink framework.

Tuning Apache Kafka Connectors for Flink.pptxFlink Forward
Flink Forward San Francisco 2022.
In normal situations, the default Kafka consumer and producer configuration options work well. But we all know life is not all roses and rainbows and in this session we’ll explore a few knobs that can save the day in atypical scenarios. First, we'll take a detailed look at the parameters available when reading from Kafka. We’ll inspect the params helping us to spot quickly an application lock or crash, the ones that can significantly improve the performance and the ones to touch with gloves since they could cause more harm than benefit. Moreover we’ll explore the partitioning options and discuss when diverging from the default strategy is needed. Next, we’ll discuss the Kafka Sink. After browsing the available options we'll then dive deep into understanding how to approach use cases like sinking enormous records, managing spikes, and handling small but frequent updates.. If you want to understand how to make your application survive when the sky is dark, this session is for you!

The Table API is one of the most actively developed components of Flink in recent time. Inspired by databases and SQL, it encapsulates concepts many developers are familiar with. It can be used with both bounded and unbounded streams in a unified way. But from afar it can be difficult to keep track of what this API is capable of and how it relates to Flink's other APIs. In this talk, we will explore the current state of Table API. We will show how it can be used as a batch processor, a changelog processor, or a streaming ETL tool with many built-in functions and operators for deduplicating, joining, and aggregating data. By comparing it to the DataStream API we will highlight differences and elaborate on when to use which API. We will demonstrate hybrid pipelines in which both APIs interact with one another and contribute their unique strengths. Finally, we will take a look at some of the most recent additions as a first step to stateful upgrades.

Processing Semantically-Ordered Streams in Financial ServicesFlink Forward
Flink Forward San Francisco 2022.
What if my data is already in order? Stream Processing has given us an elegant and powerful solution for running analytic queries and logic over high volumes of continuously arriving data. However, in both Apache Flink and Apache Beam, the notion of time-ordering is baked in at a very low level, making it difficult to express computations that are interested in a semantic-, rather than time-ordering of the data. In financial services, what often matters the most about the data moving between systems is not when the data was created, but in what order, to the extent that many institutions engineer a global sequencing over all data entering and produced by their systems to achieve complete determinism. How, then, can financial institutions and others best employ Stream Processing on streams of data that are already ordered? I will cover various techniques that can make this work, as well as seek input from the community on how Flink might be improved to better support these use-cases.

Tame the small files problem and optimize data layout for streaming ingestion...Flink Forward
Flink Forward San Francisco 2022.
In modern data platform architectures, stream processing engines such as Apache Flink are used to ingest continuous streams of data into data lakes such as Apache Iceberg. Streaming ingestion to iceberg tables can suffer by two problems (1) small files problem that can hurt read performance (2) poor data clustering that can make file pruning less effective. To address those two problems, we propose adding a shuffling stage to the Flink Iceberg streaming writer. The shuffling stage can intelligently group data via bin packing or range partition. This can reduce the number of concurrent files that every task writes. It can also improve data clustering. In this talk, we will explain the motivations in details and dive into the design of the shuffling stage. We will also share the evaluation results that demonstrate the effectiveness of smart shuffling.

Batch Processing at Scale with Flink & IcebergFlink Forward
Flink Forward San Francisco 2022.
Goldman Sachs's Data Lake platform serves as the firm's centralized data platform, ingesting 140K (and growing!) batches per day of Datasets of varying shape and size. Powered by Flink and using metadata configured by platform users, ingestion applications are generated dynamically at runtime to extract, transform, and load data into centralized storage where it is then exported to warehousing solutions such as Sybase IQ, Snowflake, and Amazon Redshift. Data Latency is one of many key considerations as producers and consumers have their own commitments to satisfy. Consumers range from people/systems issuing queries, to applications using engines like Spark, Hive, and Presto to transform data into refined Datasets. Apache Iceberg allows our applications to not only benefit from consistency guarantees important when running on eventually consistent storage like S3, but also allows us the opportunity to improve our batch processing patterns with its scalability-focused features.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

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.

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.

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).
