The Parquet Format and Performance Optimization OpportunitiesDatabricks
The Parquet format is one of the most widely used columnar storage formats in the Spark ecosystem. Given that I/O is expensive and that the storage layer is the entry point for any query execution, understanding the intricacies of your storage format is important for optimizing your workloads.
As an introduction, we will provide context around the format, covering the basics of structured data formats and the underlying physical data storage model alternatives (row-wise, columnar and hybrid). Given this context, we will dive deeper into specifics of the Parquet format: representation on disk, physical data organization (row-groups, column-chunks and pages) and encoding schemes. Now equipped with sufficient background knowledge, we will discuss several performance optimization opportunities with respect to the format: dictionary encoding, page compression, predicate pushdown (min/max skipping), dictionary filtering and partitioning schemes. We will learn how to combat the evil that is ‘many small files’, and will discuss the open-source Delta Lake format in relation to this and Parquet in general.
This talk serves both as an approachable refresher on columnar storage as well as a guide on how to leverage the Parquet format for speeding up analytical workloads in Spark using tangible tips and tricks.
In the session, we discussed the End-to-end working of Apache Airflow that mainly focused on "Why What and How" factors. It includes the DAG creation/implementation, Architecture, pros & cons.

Choosing technologies for a big data solution in the cloudJames Serra
Has your company been building data warehouses for years using SQL Server? And are you now tasked with creating or moving your data warehouse to the cloud and modernizing it to support “Big Data”? What technologies and tools should use? That is what this presentation will help you answer. First we will cover what questions to ask concerning data (type, size, frequency), reporting, performance needs, on-prem vs cloud, staff technology skills, OSS requirements, cost, and MDM needs. Then we will show you common big data architecture solutions and help you to answer questions such as: Where do I store the data? Should I use a data lake? Do I still need a cube? What about Hadoop/NoSQL? Do I need the power of MPP? Should I build a "logical data warehouse"? What is this lambda architecture? Can I use Hadoop for my DW? Finally, we’ll show some architectures of real-world customer big data solutions. Come to this session to get started down the path to making the proper technology choices in moving to the cloud.

We debunk myths about HPC in the cloud and demonstrate techniques for running common on-premises workloads in the cloud.
Cost Optimization as Major Architectural Consideration for Cloud ApplicationUdayan Banerjee
Although it is generally believed that the biggest challenge of architecting a cloud application is security and reliability, there is another major dimension which is generally overlooked, which is, cost optimization. In response to a poll by Tech Republic on “What is the main risk with cloud computing?”, 59% of the participants identified data security to be the main concern and 20% thought it was reliability of the cloud services. The fact that the applications need to be designed differently to take advantage of cloud and thus reduce cost did not even enter into the consideration.
Traditionally, actual cost of deployment has never directly been considered as a parameter of architectural tradeoffs. Specific parts of the application may get tuned based on the result of load testing. Post deployment, tuning may also happen if the response time is unacceptably slow. Since the hardware and software is a capital expenditure, the sizing is done to take care of future needs and initially there will always be unutilized capacity. So, once the initial investment is made, there is no incentive for spending effort on optimizing the application.
But, when the application is deployed in the cloud it is no longer true. CIOs are taking a serious look at cloud computing for its promise of cost saving through “pay for what you use” philosophy. That implies:
Don’t pay for unutilized resources
Less resource consumed means more saving
So, for any cloud application, there will always be an incentive to build and optimize applications to consume lesser resources. Not only is there a paucity of available benchmarks and guidelines, but also the cloud scenario itself is constantly changing. To top that, major cloud platforms differ from each other and the right approach for one may be ineffective and even wrong for another. The best practices will evolve over a period of time but in the mean time, what does an architect do?

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.
