HBase has been in production in hundreds of clusters across the CDH/HDP customer base and Cloudera/Hortonworks support it for many years.
In this talk, based on our support experience, we aim to introduce useful information to troubleshoot HBase clusters efficiently. First off, we (Daisuke at Cloudera support) are going to talk about typical log messages and web UI info which we can use for troubleshooting (especially for struggling with performance issues). Since their meanings have been changing over the past versions, we would like to show the difference and improvements as well (e.g. HBASE-20232 for memstore flush, HBASE-16972 for slow scanner, HBASE-18469 for request counter, and also HBASE-21207 for sorting in web UI). We (Toshihiro at Cloudera, a former Hortonworks employee) will also cover some new tools (e.g. HBASE-21926 Profiler Servlet, HBASE-11062 htop, etc.), which should also be useful for performance troubleshooting.

Heavy users monopolizing cluster resources is a frequent cause of slowdown for others. With only one namenode and thousands of datanodes, any poorly written application is a potential distributed denial-of-service attack on namenode. In this talk, you will learn how to prevent slowdown from heavy users and poorly-written applications by enabling IPC Quality of Service (QoS), a new feature in Hadoop 2.6+. On Twitter’s and eBay’s production clusters, we’ve seen response times of 500 milliseconds with QoS off drop to 10 milliseconds with QoS on during heavy usage. We’ll cover how IPC QoS works and share our experience on how to tune performance.
Module 4: Configuring and Troubleshooting IPv6 TCP/IP
This module introduces you to IPv6, a technology that will help ensure that the Internet can support a growing user base and the increasingly large number of IP-enabled devices. The current Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) has served as the underlying Internet protocol for almost thirty years. Its robustness, scalability, and limited feature set is now challenged by the growing need for new IP addresses, due in large part to the rapid growth of new network-aware devices.

2014 holiday online shopping mobile trends silverpopSilverpop
As mobile devices -- including both smartphones and tablets -- continue to grow in sophistication, they increasingly become a central part of consumers' daily routines. In fact, two out of three people now keep a mobile device within reach at all times (IBM). Checking email remains one of the most common uses of mobile devices, with nearly 50 percent of opens occurring on a smartphone or tablet (Litmus).
So, you know many of your customers are viewing your emails and hitting your website from their smartphones, but how many of them are actually converting? If an individual encounters a poor mobile experience, whether it's a non-mobile friendly email or website or an awkward payment process on a small screen, it's likely the shopper will abandon the effort. So, how can you ensure your mobile-inclined shoppers are getting a seamless experience? Using data collected from the most recent holiday season, Silverpop's Loren McDonald covered key holiday shopping trends and tactics using email and push notifications to help remove the friction from smartphone shopping.
Too fast for Scrum? | AgilePT 2015
http://linkedin.arraiscastro.com
http://talks.arraiscastro.com
Scrum adoption comes with relevant organizational challenges that some companies manage poorly.
First, there is the misconception that scrum, by itself, makes your teams faster. While contributing to quality, scrum can make your teams more productive, but a poorly designed agile process may turn your teams slower at the end.
Second, there is the misconception that the need to move hyper fast makes your backlog so organically alive that timeboxed sprints become impossible to achieve. We see a lot of companies moving to Kanban, as the epiphany of extreme agility. Sometimes, all they want is to avoid the huge challenges associated with organizing the work flows so that a stable development time window is provided to their teams. Priorities changing all the time, new stories popping up each day, the will to change anything, anytime, with the excuse that it is required by the customers, and lack of senior management commitment are typical drugs used to kill sprints and agile ceremonies.
Agility is not a process, it is a mindset, based on a culture, focused on delivering the most value as soon as possible. Taking scrum (or kanban) as a structured recipe for success and applying it as if we were making a delicious cake may, at the end, cause some stomach pains (and even food poisoning on extreme cases)!

AWS re:Invent - Med305 Achieving consistently high throughput for very large ...asperasoft
Michelle Munson, CEO & Co-Founder of Aspera, is joined by Jay Migliaccio, Director or Cloud Technologies at Aspera, and Stephane Houet, Product Manager at EVS Broadcast Equipment, for the following session: MED305- Achieving Consistently High Throughput for Very Large Data Transfers with Amazon S3; Media Production & Distribution Track, on Wednesday, Nov 12, 3:30 PM - 4:15 PM – Level 4 - Delfino 4102
(MED305) Achieving Consistently High Throughput for Very Large Data Transfers...Amazon Web Services
A difficult problem for users of Amazon S3 that deal in large-form data is how to consistently transfer ultralarge files and large sets of files at fast speeds over the WAN. Although a number of tools are available for network transfer with S3 that exploit its multipart APIs, most have practical limitations when transferring very large files or large sets of very small files with remote regions. Transfers can be slow, degrade unpredictably, and for the largest sizes fail altogether. Additional complications include resume, encryption at rest, encryption in transit, and efficient updates for synchronization.
Aspera has expertise and experience in tackling these problems and has created a suite of transport, synchronization, monitoring, and collaboration software that can transfer and store both ultralarge files (up to the 5 TB limit of an S3 object) and large numbers of very small files (millions andlt; 100 KB) consistently fast, regardless of region.
In this session, technical leaders from Aspera explain how to achieve very large file WAN transfers and integrate them into mission-critical workflows across multiple industries. EVS, a media service provider to the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil explains how they used Aspera solutions for the delivery of high-speed, live video transport, moving real-time video data from sports matches in Brazil to Europe for AWS-based transcoding, live streaming, and file delivery.

Network-aware Data Management for High Throughput Flows Akamai, Cambridge, ...balmanme
As current technology enables faster storage devices and larger interconnect bandwidth, there is a substantial need for novel system design and middleware architecture to address increasing latency, scalability, and throughput requirements. In this talk, I will outline network-aware data management and present solutions based on my past experience in large-scale data migration between remote repositories.
I will first describe my experience in the initial evaluation of 100Gbps network as a part of the Advance Network Initiative project. We needed intense fine-tuning in network, storage, and application layers, to take advantage of the higher network capacity. I will introduce a special data movement prototype, successfully tested in one of the first 100Gbps demonstrations, in which applications map memory blocks for remote data, in contrast to the send/receive semantics.
Within this scope, I will introduce a flexible network reservation algorithm for on-demand bandwidth guaranteed virtual circuit services. Flexible reservations find best path in a time-dependent dynamic network topology to support predictable application performance. I will then present a data-scheduling model with advance provisioning, in which data movement operations are defined with earliest start and latest completion times.
I will conclude my talk with a very brief overview of my other related projects on performance engineering, hyper-converged virtual storage, and optimization in control and data path for virtualized environments.

Topic of Presentation: Handling high-bandwidth-consumption applications in a modern DC design
Language: English
Abstract: Modern Data Centre requires proper handling of high-bandwidth consuming applications, like BigData or IP Storage. To achieve this, next generation Ethernet speeds of 25, 50 and 100Gbps are being pursued. We are to show _why_ these new Ethernet speeds are vital from technology standpoint and _how_ to cope with the those sparkling new requirements by networking hardware enablements. We are to share ethernet switches’ design considerations, with the biggest emphasis put on the importance of big buffers and how they accommodate this bursty traffic. Throughout the presentation we will additionally elaborate on the evolution of variety of modern applications, and how we can handle those with the properly designed hardware, software, and Data Centre itself.
The internet is a network of computers linking many different types of computers all over the world. It is a very large wide area network (WAN) connecting computers and networks around the world.

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.

1TB transfer will take 3.3 days
9. BIG-DATA and WAN TRANSFER WITH TCP
TCP WAS DESIGNED IN THE EARLY 80’S
• When data was small & bandwidth was limited
• Fantastic for reliable data delivery
• Not fast enough for big-data
TCP IS THE ENGINE THAT DRIVES
• FTP, HTTP & HTTPS
• RSYNC, SCP & DICOM
• CIFS & NFS
TCP DOES NOT LIKE NETWORK LATENCY/ RTT
• Geographic distance increases latency
• Network congestion increases latency
TCP DOES NOT LIKE PACKET LOSS
• Loss is caused by congestion
• Different network capacity
• Wireless and satellite communications
10. So if TCP doesn’t work, what’s the answer?
The Aspera Solution
11. Same WAN Scenario with Aspera
WAN
1000 Mbps
• 170ms RTT
Seattle • 0.001% packet loss rate Paris
WAN is 1000Mbps
Max TCP Throughput ~29Mbps
Max Aspera Throughput ~995Mbps (gain of x34)
ROI measured in $$ cost of not using 971Mbps
At 995 Mbps
• 50GB transfer will take ~4 hrs
• 1TB transfer will take 3.3 days
• 50GB transfer will take ~7 mins
• 1TB transfer will take 2.4 hrs

17. GETTING IN AND OUT OF THE CLOUD
KNOWING WHEN TO CHOSE THE RIGHT TOOL
20. CHALLENGES OF STORING BIG FILES IN THE CLOUD?
BEWARE THE OBJECT STORE:
• Not like traditional NAS or SAN
• Bigger, better, but possibly much more complex
• a.k.a. Google File System, Amazon S3, Hadoop Distributed File System
• Simple read/write of data “blobs”, indexed by a key
• Multiple replicas are distributed across storage for durability and optimized for access
• Should work well for storing large numbers of files
UNDERSTAND CHUNKS, BLOCKS and BLOBS
• You need to deal with chunks, blocks and blobs
• “Chunk” sizes are small (64 MB/128 MB)
• Large media files must be “chunked” (1TB file = transporting and reassembling 10,000+ chunks!)
• Multi-chunk APIs impede workflow and are complex
• Data I/O use the standard HTTP(s) protocol
• VERY SLOW at distance
• Single HTTP stream slow even locally (<100 Mbps).
M&E/ BIG-DATA SERVICES WILL NEED A HIGH-SPEED BRIDGE TO THE CLOUD
• Large files moved at full bandwidth capacity with global access
• Overcome the WAN and storage bottleneck
• Support files of any size or quantity
• Transparent to the end user/data owner (GUI, command line, API, browser, etc.)
• No hardware to support B2B, B2C, C2B workflow
23. ASPERA DIRECT-TO-S3 — LINE RATE ACCESS TO THE CLOUD
UNRIVALED ASPERA PERFORMANCE
• Built on Aspera fasp™ technology for maximum transfer speed
• Regardless of file size, transfer distance and network conditions

being fair to other business-critical network traffic
SEAMLESS INTEGRATION WITH S3
• Integrated with S3 multi-part HTTP for maximum “last foot” performance
• Simple configuration of S3 credentials, for both shared and dedicated docroot
• Transfers directly into S3 are seamless and transparent to user
ENTERPRISE-GRADE SECURITY AND RELIABILITY
• Secure authentication with encryption in transit & at rest (AES-128, FIPS 140-2, HIPPA Compliant)
• Packet-level data integrity verification
• Automatic resume of partial or failed transfers
• Full support for AWS S3 Service-side-encryption at rest

Due to many uncontrolled parameters such as … it is a difficult task to compare the performance of different protocols. For the same protocol, its performance can vary … To exclude these uncontrolled factors, we repeat the same test many times in a relative long time and then compare the mean, worse and best scenario.We also manually verified the performance on the iPhone …
