6. Analytical Platform Reference Architecture

7. In-memory Analytical Platform
“pull very large amounts of data from existing data storage
(persistence) systems into high speed computer memory”
– can be existing traditional disk based data warehouse
products, operational systems, Kognitio’s own disk
subsystem or increasingly distributed parallel file systems
such as Hadoop or cloud storage
• Scale the power as required
• Adaptable capacity
– Scale up / down as when needed within server farm
• Utilize local disk for near-line store of regularly used
reference data or result sets

8. What is an “In-memory” Analytical Platform?
• A database where all of the data of interest or specific portions of the
data have been permanently pre-loaded into a computers random
access memory (RAM).
• Not a large cache
– Data is held in structures that take advantage of the properties of
RAM – NOT copies of frequently used disk blocks
– The databases query optimiser knows at all times exactly which
data is in memory and which is not

9. Speed & Scale from “True MPP”
• Memory & CPU on an individual server = NOWHERE near enough for big data
– Moore’s Law – The power of a processor doubles every two years
– Data volumes – Double every year!!
• The only way to keep up is to parallelise or scale-out
• Combine the RAM of many individual servers
Many •
•
many CPU cores spread across
many CPUs, housed in
• many individual computers (1 to 1000+)
– Data is split across all the CPU cores
– All database operations are parallelised with no points of serialisation –
This is true MPP
• Every CPU core in
Every • Every server needs to efficiently involved in
• Every query

External Functions
Not Only SQL
External Tables

as an External table
Hadoop Connector Other Connectors

11. Not Only SQL: any language in-line
Kognitio External Scripts
– Run third party binaries or scripts embedded within SQL
• Perl, Python, Java, R, SAS, etc.
• One-to-many rows in, zero-to-many rows out, one to one
create interpreter perlinterp
command '/usr/bin/perl' sends 'csv' receives 'csv' ;
select top 1000 words, count(*) This reads long comments
from (external script using environment perlinterp text from customer enquiry
receives (txt varchar(32000))
sends (words varchar(100)) table, in line perl converts
script S'endofperl( long text into output
while(<>)
{ stream of words (one word
chomp(); per row), query selects top
s/[,.!_]//g;
foreach $c (split(/ /)) 1000 words by frequency
{ if($c =~ /^[a-zA-Z]+$/) { print "$cn”} } using standard SQL
}
)endofperl' aggregation
from (select comments from customer_enquiry))dt
group by 1
order by 2 desc;

12. Kognitio Hadoop Connectors
HDFS Connector
• Connector defines access to hdfs file system
• External table accesses row-based data
in hdfs
• Dynamic access or “pin” data into memory
• Complete hdfs file is loaded into memory
Filter Agent Connector
• Connector uploads agent to Hadoop nodes
• Query passes selections and relevant
predicates to agent
• Data filtering and projection takes place
locally on each Hadoop node
• Only data of interest in loaded into memory
via parallel load streams

14. Analytics on tens of billions of events in
tens of seconds with NO DBA
Context for media analytics:
• In‐memory analytical database for Big Data
• Correlate everything to everything
• MPP + Linear Scalability
• Predictable and ultra‐fast performance
Challenges • > 22 data sources
– Expanding volumes of data
• Commodity servers/equipment
– Few opportunities for
summarization (demographics, • Market‐available IT skills
purchaser targets, etc.)
• No solution re‐engineering
– Data too large/complex for
traditional database systems
– Need for simple administration
Solution Benefits Mars, Inc.:
– Reports allow advertisers, networks and agencies to analyze the “By using TRA to improve media plans, creative and
relative strengths and weaknesses of different creative flighting, Mars has achieved a portfolio increase in ROI
executions, and how such variables as program environment, versus a year ago of 25% in one category and 35% in a
time slots, and pod position impact their ROI second category.”
– Enables self‐service reporting for business users
