Operational DB: Real-Time Architecture
Determining the Next Best Action
Step 1: Data Processed
Apache Spark processes the data from the event (IoT, clickstream, markets, etc),
which potentially involves keeping a running list of the last X number of events
Step 2: Request Processed/Kudu Queried
A Spark application uses the data gathered in step one to query Kudu’s database
in a predefined manner to look for similar patterns defined via machine learning
Step 3: Kudu Results Returned
Kudu returns the results from the query in step 2 back to Spark to determine what
needs to be returned to the application
Step 4: Results Processed
Spark associates the results from Kudu with the information stored from the
current event to determine the next step to feed back to the application
Step 5: Processed Data Returned
The machine-generated, best possible outcome is prescribed and served to the
application

Complexity & Latency
Considerations:
● How do I handle failure during this
process?
● How often do I reorganize data
streaming in into a format
appropriate for reporting?
● When reporting, how do I see data
that has not yet been reorganized?
● How do I ensure that important
jobs aren’t interrupted by
maintenance?
