Storm-on-YARN: Convergence of Low-Latency and Big-DataDataWorks Summit
adoop plays a central role for Yahoo! to provide personalized experiences for our users and create value for our advertisers. In this talk, we will discuss the convergence of low-latency processing and Hadoop platform. To enable the convergence, we have developed Storm-on-YARN to enable Storm streaming/microbatch applications and Hadoop batch applications hosted in a single cluster. Storm applications could leverage YARN for resource management, and apply Hadoop style security to Hadoop datasets on HDFS and HBase. In Storm-on-YARN, YARN is used to launch Storm application master (Nimbus), and enable Nimbus to request resources for Storm workers (Supervisors). YARN resource manager and Storm scheduler work together to support multi-tenancy and high availability. HDFS enables Storm to achieve higher availability of Nimbus itself. We are introducing Hadoop style security into Storm through JAAS authentication (Kerberos and Digest). Storm servers (Nimbus and DRPC) will be configured with authorization plugins for access control and audit. The security context enables Storm applications to access authorized datasets only (including those created by Hadoop applications). Yahoo! is making our contribution on Storm and YARN available as open source. We will work with industry partners to foster the convergence of low-latency processing and big-data.
Slides from talk given at the NYC Cassandra Meetup. Discussing how Storm works and how it integrates well with Apache Cassandra.
There is also a segway into a example project that uses Storm and Cassandra to implement a scalable reactive web crawler.

Kafka and Storm - event processing in realtimeGuido Schmutz
Apache Kafka is publish-subscribe messaging rethought as a distributed commit log. It is designed to allow a single cluster to serve as the central data backbone for a large organization. It can be elastically and transparently expanded without downtime. Storm is a distributed realtime computation system. Storm makes it easy to reliably process unbounded streams of data, doing for realtime processing what Hadoop did for batch processing. Storm has many use cases: realtime analytics, online machine learning, continuous computation, distributed RPC, ETL, and more. This session presents the main concepts of Kafka and Storm and then shows how a simple stream processing application is implemented using these two technologies.

Apache Storm vs. Spark Streaming - two stream processing platforms comparedGuido Schmutz
Storm as well as Spark Streaming are Open-Source Frameworks supporting distributed stream processing. Storm has been developed by Twitter and is a free and open source distributed real-time computation system that can be used with any programming language. It is written primarily in Clojure and supports Java by default. Spark is fast and general engine for large-scale data processing and has been designed to provide a more efficient alternative to Hadoop MapReduce. Spark Streaming brings Spark's language-integrated API to stream processing, letting you write streaming applications the same way you write batch jobs. It supports both Java and Scala. This presentation shows how you can implement stream processing solutions with the two frameworks, discusses how they compare and highlights the differences and similarities.
Bobby Evans and Tom Graves, the engineering leads for Spark and Storm development at Yahoo will talk about how these technologies are used on Yahoo's grids and reasons why to use one or the other.

Fundamentals of Stream Processing with Apache Beam, Tyler Akidau, Frances Perry confluent
Apache Beam (unified Batch and strEAM processing!) is a new Apache incubator project. Originally based on years of experience developing Big Data infrastructure within Google (such as MapReduce, FlumeJava, and MillWheel), it has now been donated to the OSS community at large.
Come learn about the fundamentals of out-of-order stream processing, and how Beam’s powerful tools for reasoning about time greatly simplify this complex task. Beam provides a model that allows developers to focus on the four important questions that must be answered by any stream processing pipeline:
What results are being calculated?
Where in event time are they calculated?
When in processing time are they materialized?
How do refinements of results relate?
Furthermore, by cleanly separating these questions from runtime characteristics, Beam programs become portable across multiple runtime environments, both proprietary (e.g., Google Cloud Dataflow) and open-source (e.g., Flink, Spark, et al).

Apache Kafka - A modern Stream Processing PlatformGuido Schmutz
After a quick overview and introduction of Apache Kafka, this session cover two components which extend the core of Apache Kafka: Kafka Connect and Kafka Streams/KSQL.
Kafka Connects role is to access data from the out-side-world and make it available inside Kafka by publishing it into a Kafka topic. On the other hand, Kafka Connect is also responsible to transport information from inside Kafka to the outside world, which could be a database or a file system. There are many existing connectors for different source and target systems available out-of-the-box, either provided by the community or by Confluent or other vendors. You simply configure these connectors and off you go.
Kafka Streams is a light-weight component which extends Kafka with stream processing functionality. By that, Kafka can now not only reliably and scalable transport events and messages through the Kafka broker but also analyse and process these event in real-time. Interestingly Kafka Streams does not provide its own cluster infrastructure and it is also not meant to run on a Kafka cluster. The idea is to run Kafka Streams where it makes sense, which can be inside a “normal” Java application, inside a Web container or on a more modern containerized (cloud) infrastructure, such as Mesos, Kubernetes or Docker. Kafka Streams has a lot of interesting features, such as reliable state handling, queryable state and much more. KSQL is a streaming engine for Apache Kafka, providing a simple and completely interactive SQL interface for processing data in Kafka.
Mario Molina, Datio, Software Engineer
Kafka Streams is an open source JVM library for building event streaming applications on top of Apache Kafka. Its goal is to allow programmers to create efficient, real-time, streaming applications and perform analysis and operations on the incoming data.
In this presentation we’ll cover the main features of Kafka Streams and do a live demo!

Machine Learning for Big Data Analytics: Scaling In with Containers while Sc...Ian Lumb
Watch On Demand Anytime via http://www.univa.com/resources/webinar-machine-learning.php
Armed with nothing more than an Apache Spark toting laptop, you have all the trappings required to prototype the application of Machine Learning against your data-science needs. From programmability in Scala, Java or Python, to built-in support for Machine Learning via MLlib, Spark is an exceedingly effective enabler that allows you to rapidly produce results.
Of course, as soon as your prototyping proves successful, you'll want to scale out to embrace the volume, variety and velocity that characterizes today's Big Data demands... in production. Because Spark is as comfortable on an isolated laptop as it is in a distributed-computing environment, addressing Big Data requirements in production boils down to effectively and efficiently embracing containers and clusters for Big Data Analytics.
And this is where offerings from Univa shine - i.e., in making the transition from prototype to production completely seamless. For some use cases, it makes sense to scale-in Spark based applications within Docker containers via Univa Grid Engine Container Edition or Navops by Univa; whereas in others, Spark is interfaced (as a Mesos-compliant framework) with Univa Universal Resource Broker, to permit scaling out on a cluster. In both scenarios, your production Spark applications are scheduled alongside other classes of workload - without a need for dedicated resources.
Agenda:
• Overview of Apache Spark as a platform for Deep Learning - from Python-based Jupyter Notebooks to Spark's Machine Learning library MLlib
• Overview of prototyping Machine Learning via Apache Spark on a laptop - without and within Docker containers
• Introductions to Univa Grid Engine Container Edition and Univa Universal Resource Broker plus Navops by Univa
• Overview of production Big Data Analytics platforms for Machine Learning
• Docker-containerized Apache Spark and Univa Grid Engine Container Edition
• Docker-containerized Apache Spark and Navops by Univa
• Apache Spark plus Univa Universal Resource Broker
• Introducing support for GPUs without and within Docker containers
• Use case example - using Machine Learning to classify data from Twitter without and within Docker containers
• Summary and next steps

Stream Data Deduplication Powered by Kafka Streams | Philipp Schirmer, BakdataHostedbyConfluent
Representations of data, e.g., describing news, persons or places, differ. Therefore, we need to identify duplicates, for example, if we want to stream deduplicated news from different sources into a sentiment classifier.
We built a system that collects data from different sources in a streaming fashion, aligns them to a global schema and then detects duplicates within the data stream without time window constraints. The challenge is not only to process newly published data without significant delay, but also to reprocess hundreds of millions existing messages, for example, after improving the similarity measure.
In this talk, we present our implementation for deduplication of data streams built on top of Kafka Streams. For this, we leverage Kafka APIs, namely state stores, and also use Kubernetes to auto-scale our application from 0 to a defined maximum. This allows us to process live data immediately and also reprocess all data from scratch within a reasonable amount of time.

Spark and GraphX in the Netflix Recommender System: We at Netflix strive to deliver maximum enjoyment and entertainment to our millions of members across the world. We do so by having great content and by constantly innovating on our product. A key strategy to optimize both is to follow a data-driven method. Data allows us to find optimal approaches to applications such as content buying or our renowned personalization algorithms. But, in order to learn from this data, we need to be smart about the algorithms we use, how we apply them, and how we can scale them to our volume of data (over 50 million members and 5 billion hours streamed over three months). In this talk we describe how Spark and GraphX can be leveraged to address some of our scale challenges. In particular, we share insights and lessons learned on how to run large probabilistic clustering and graph diffusion algorithms on top of GraphX, making it possible to apply them at Netflix scale.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

What is Kafka?
Apache Kafka is publish-subscribe messaging rethought as a distributed
commit log.
• Fast
• Hundreds of megabytes
• Scalable
• Elastically
• Transparently
• Durable
• Persisted on disk
M. C´arcamo & D. Wladdimiro (USACH) Kafka & Storm November, 2014 2 / 31
3. Kafka
Architecture
It is a distributed, partitioned, replicated commit log service. It provides
the functionality of a messaging system, but with a unique design.

26. Grouping
• Shuffle: Stream tuples are randomly distributed such that each bolt is
guaranteed to get an equal number of tuples.
• Fields: Stream tuples are partitioned by the fields specified in the
grouping.
• All grouping: Stream tuples are replicated across all the bolts.
• Global grouping: entire stream goes to a single bolt.
• Direct Grouping: the source decides which component will receive the
tuple.
