- 18. DATA ORCHESTRATION SUMMIT R&D workflow Pull Notebooks and data stored and shared in S3 Data cache Dev unix machine in the cloud Notebook name matching branch ID Install the latest version of the code Develop code locally using professional IDEs Feature branches matching Jira key Gitflow branching model Commit and push
- 19. DATA ORCHESTRATION SUMMIT EC2 memory-optimized machines (r4 or r5 family) EBS volume of 250GB of storage Alluxio and Jupyter services to start at boot time 200GB reserved for the Alluxio cache S3 buckets mounted locally in --readonly mode using fuse API Read parquet data in multi-processing using Dask directly from the local file system instead of using the S3 boto API cache configuration
- 20. DATA ORCHESTRATION SUMMIT Research & Development data: ~1TB We only focus on 15% of data every month (~150GB) Re-access of the data for every kernel restart (~5 times a day) Data science team members (~5 people) Datasets spread into files of ~120MB each => roughly 1.2k files and 500k read requests every month We observed a speed-up between 3x to 5x using Alluxio + all of the benefits of accessing the S3 data from the POSIX API benefits for the R&D
