This document discusses using Apache Drill and business intelligence (BI) tools to analyze network data stored in Hadoop. It provides examples of querying network packet captures and APIs directly using SQL without needing to transform or structure the data first. This allows gaining insights into issues like dropped sensor readings by analyzing packets alongside other data sources. The document concludes that SQL-on-Hadoop technologies allow network analysis to be done in a BI context more quickly than traditional specialized tools.
http://bit.ly/1BTaXZP – Hadoop has been a huge success in the data world. It’s disrupted decades of data management practices and technologies by introducing a massively parallel processing framework. The community and the development of all the Open Source components pushed Hadoop to where it is now.
That's why the Hadoop community is excited about Apache Spark. The Spark software stack includes a core data-processing engine, an interface for interactive querying, Sparkstreaming for streaming data analysis, and growing libraries for machine-learning and graph analysis. Spark is quickly establishing itself as a leading environment for doing fast, iterative in-memory and streaming analysis.
This talk will give an introduction the Spark stack, explain how Spark has lighting fast results, and how it complements Apache Hadoop.

Disaster Recovery and Cloud Migration for your Apache Hive WarehouseDataWorks Summit
As Apache Hadoop clusters become central to an organization’s operations, they have clusters in more than one data center. Historically, this has been largely driven by requirements of business continuity planning or geo localization. It has also recently been gaining a lot of interest from a hybrid cloud perspective, i.e. wherein people are trying to augment their traditional on-prem setup with cloud-based additions as well. A robust replication solution is a fundamental requirement in such cases.
The Apache Hive community has been working on new capabilities for efficient and fault tolerant replication of data in the Hive warehouse. In this talk, we will discuss these new capabilities, how it works, what replication at Hive-scale looks like, what challenges it poses, what we have done to solve those issues. We will also focus on what we need to be aware of in our use case that might make replication optimal.
Speaker
Sankar Hariappan, Senior Software Engineer, Hortonworks
While you could be tempted assuming data is already safe in a single Hadoop cluster, in practice you have to plan for more. Questions like: "What happens if the entire datacenter fails?, or "How do I recover into a consistent state of data, so that applications can continue to run?" are not a all trivial to answer for Hadoop. Did you know that HDFS snapshots are handling open files not as immutable? Or that HBase snapshots are executed asynchronously across servers and therefore cannot guarantee atomicity for cross region updates (which includes tables)? There is no unified and coherent data backup strategy, nor is there tooling available for many of the included components to build such a strategy. The Hadoop distributions largely avoid this topic as most customers are still in the "single use-case" or PoC phase, where data governance as far as backup and disaster recovery (BDR) is concerned are not (yet) important. This talk first is introducing you to the overarching issue and difficulties of backup and data safety, looking at each of the many components in Hadoop, including HDFS, HBase, YARN, Oozie, the management components and so on, to finally show you a viable approach using built-in tools. You will also learn not to take this topic lightheartedly and what is needed to implement and guarantee a continuous operation of Hadoop cluster based solutions.

Introduction to Apache Amaterasu (Incubating): CD Framework For Your Big Data...DataWorks Summit
In the last few years, the DevOps movement has introduced ground breaking approaches to the way we manage the lifecycle of software development and deployment. Today organisations aspire to fully automate the deployment of microservices and web applications with tools such as Chef, Puppet and Ansible. However, the deployment of data-processing pipelines remains a relic from the dark-ages of software development.
Processing large-scale data pipelines is the main engineering task of the Big Data era, and it should be treated with the same respect and craftsmanship as any other piece of software. That is why we created Apache Amaterasu (Incubating) - an open source framework that takes care of the specific needs of Big Data applications in the world of continuous delivery.
In this session, we will take a close look at Apache Amaterasu (Incubating) a simple and powerful framework to build and dispense pipelines. Amaterasu aims to help data engineers and data scientists to compose, configure, test, package, deploy and execute data pipelines written using multiple tools, languages and frameworks.
We will see what Amaterasu provides today, and how it can help existing Big Data application and demo some of the new bits that are coming in the near future.

An architecture for federated data discovery and lineage over on-prem datasou...DataWorks Summit
Comcast's Streaming Data platform comprises a variety of ingest, transformation, and storage services in the public cloud. Peer-reviewed Apache Avro schemas support end-to-end data governance. We have previously reported (DataWorks Summit 2017) on how we extended Atlas with custom entity and process types for discovery and lineage in the AWS public cloud. Custom lambda functions notify Atlas of creation of new entities and new lineage links via asynchronous kafka messaging.
Recently we were presented the challenge of providing integrated data discovery and lineage across our public cloud datasources and on-prem datasources, both Hadoop-based and traditional data warehouses and RDBMSs. Can Apache Atlas meet this challenge? A resounding yes! This talk will present our federated architecture, with Atlas providing SQL-like, free-text, and graph search across select metadata from all on-prem and public cloud data sources in our purview. Lightweight, custom connectors/bridges identify metadata/lineage changes in underlying sources and publish them to Atlas via the asynchronous API. A portal layer provides Atlas query access and a federation of UIs. Once data of interest is identified via Atlas queries, interfaces specific to underlying sources may be used for special-purpose metadata mining.
While metadata repositories for data discovery and lineage abound, none of them have built-in connectors and listeners for the entire complement of data sources that Comcast and many other large enterprises use to support their business needs. In-house-built solutions typically underestimate the cost of development and maintenance and often suffer from architecture-by-accretion. Atlas' commitment to extensibility, built-in provision of typed, free-text, and graph search, and REST and asynchronous APIs, position it uniquely in the build-vs-buy sweet spot.
ADV Slides: When and How Data Lakes Fit into a Modern Data ArchitectureDATAVERSITY
Whether to take data ingestion cycles off the ETL tool and the data warehouse or to facilitate competitive Data Science and building algorithms in the organization, the data lake – a place for unmodeled and vast data – will be provisioned widely in 2020.
Though it doesn’t have to be complicated, the data lake has a few key design points that are critical, and it does need to follow some principles for success. Avoid building the data swamp, but not the data lake! The tool ecosystem is building up around the data lake and soon many will have a robust lake and data warehouse. We will discuss policy to keep them straight, send data to its best platform, and keep users’ confidence up in their data platforms.
Data lakes will be built in cloud object storage. We’ll discuss the options there as well.

Engineering Machine Learning Data Pipelines Series: Streaming New Data as It ...Precisely
Tackling the challenge of designing a machine learning model and putting it into production is the key to getting value back – and the roadblock that stops many promising machine learning projects. After the data scientists have done their part, engineering robust production data pipelines has its own set of challenges. Syncsort software helps the data engineer every step of the way.
Building on the process of finding and matching duplicates to resolve entities, the next step is to set up a continuous streaming flow of data from data sources so that as the sources change, new data automatically gets pushed through the same transformation and cleansing data flow – into the arms of machine learning models.
Some of your sources may already be streaming, but the rest are sitting in transactional databases that change hundreds or thousands of times a day. The challenge is that you can’t affect performance of data sources that run key applications, so putting something like database triggers in place is not the best idea. Using Apache Kafka or similar technologies as the backbone to moving data around doesn’t solve the problem of needing to grab changes from the source pushing them into Kafka and consuming the data from Kafka to be processed. If something unexpected happens – like connectivity is lost on either the source or the target side, you don’t want to have to fix it or start over because the data is out of sync.
View this 15-minute webcast on-demand to learn how to tackle these challenges in large scale production implementations.

Floating on a RAFT: HBase Durability with Apache RatisDataWorks Summit
In a world with a myriad of distributed storage systems to choose from, the majority of Apache HBase clusters still rely on Apache HDFS. Theoretically, any distributed file system could be used by HBase. One major reason HDFS is predominantly used are the specific durability requirements of HBase's write-ahead log (WAL) and HDFS providing that guarantee correctly. However, HBase's use of HDFS for WALs can be replaced with sufficient effort.
This talk will cover the design of a "Log Service" which can be embedded inside of HBase that provides a sufficient level of durability that HBase requires for WALs. Apache Ratis (incubating) is a library-implementation of the RAFT consensus protocol in Java and is used to build this Log Service. We will cover the design choices of the Ratis Log Service, comparing and contrasting it to other log-based systems that exist today. Next, we'll cover how the Log Service "fits" into HBase and the necessary changes to HBase which enable this. Finally, we'll discuss how the Log Service can simplify the operational burden of HBase.
Tracking Crime as It Occurs with Apache Phoenix, Apache HBase and Apache NiFiDataWorks Summit
Utilizing Apache NiFi we read various open data REST APIs and camera feeds to ingest crime and related data real-time streaming it into HBase and Phoenix tables. HBase makes an excellent storage option for our real-time time series data sources. We can immediately query our data utilizing Apache Zeppelin against Phoenix tables as well as Hive external tables to HBase.
Apache Phoenix tables also make a great option since we can easily put microservices on top of them for application usage. I have an example Spring Boot application that reads from our Philadelphia crime table for front-end web applications as well as RESTful APIs.
Apache NiFi makes it easy to push records with schemas to HBase and insert into Phoenix SQL tables.

HBase Tales From the Trenches - Short stories about most common HBase operati...DataWorks Summit
Whilst HBase is the most logical answer for use cases requiring random, realtime read/write access to Big Data, it may not be so trivial to design applications that make most of its use, neither the most simple to operate. As it depends/integrates with other components from Hadoop ecosystem (Zookeeper, HDFS, Spark, Hive, etc) or external systems ( Kerberos, LDAP), and its distributed nature requires a "Swiss clockwork" infrastructure, many variables are to be considered when observing anomalies or even outages. Adding to the equation there's also the fact that HBase is still an evolving product, with different release versions being used currently, some of those can carry genuine software bugs. On this presentation, we'll go through the most common HBase issues faced by different organisations, describing identified cause and resolution action over my last 5 years supporting HBase to our heterogeneous customer base.
Optimizing Geospatial Operations with Server-side Programming in HBase and Ac...DataWorks Summit
LocationTech GeoMesa enables spatial and spatiotemporal indexing and queries for HBase and Accumulo. In this talk, after an overview of GeoMesa’s capabilities in the Cloudera ecosystem, we will dive into how GeoMesa leverages Accumulo’s Iterator interface and HBase’s Filter and Coprocessor interfaces. The goal will be to discuss both what spatial operations can be pushed down into the distributed database and also how the GeoMesa codebase is organized to allow for consistent use across the two database systems.
OCLC has been using HBase since 2012 to enable single-search-box access to over a billion items from your library and the world’s library collection. This talk will provide an overview of how HBase is structured to provide this information and some of the challenges they have encountered to scale to support the world catalog and how they have overcome them.
Many individuals/organizations have a desire to utilize NoSQL technology, but often lack an understanding of how the underlying functional bits can be utilized to enable their use case. This situation can result in drastic increases in the desire to put the SQL back in NoSQL.
Since the initial commit, Apache Accumulo has provided a number of examples to help jumpstart comprehension of how some of these bits function as well as potentially help tease out an understanding of how they might be applied to a NoSQL friendly use case. One very relatable example demonstrates how Accumulo could be used to emulate a filesystem (dirlist).
In this session we will walk through the dirlist implementation. Attendees should come away with an understanding of the supporting table designs, a simple text search supporting a single wildcard (on file/directory names), and how the dirlist elements work together to accomplish its feature set. Attendees should (hopefully) also come away with a justification for sometimes keeping the SQL out of NoSQL.
HBase Global Indexing to support large-scale data ingestion at UberDataWorks Summit
Data serves as the platform for decision-making at Uber. To facilitate data driven decisions, many datasets at Uber are ingested in a Hadoop Data Lake and exposed to querying via Hive. Analytical queries joining various datasets are run to better understand business data at Uber.
Data ingestion, at its most basic form, is about organizing data to balance efficient reading and writing of newer data. Data organization for efficient reading involves factoring in query patterns to partition data to ensure read amplification is low. Data organization for efficient writing involves factoring the nature of input data - whether it is append only or updatable.
At Uber we ingest terabytes of many critical tables such as trips that are updatable. These tables are fundamental part of Uber's data-driven solutions, and act as the source-of-truth for all the analytical use-cases across the entire company. Datasets such as trips constantly receive updates to the data apart from inserts. To ingest such datasets we need a critical component that is responsible for bookkeeping information of the data layout, and annotates each incoming change with the location in HDFS where this data should be written. This component is called as Global Indexing. Without this component, all records get treated as inserts and get re-written to HDFS instead of being updated. This leads to duplication of data, breaking data correctness and user queries. This component is key to scaling our jobs where we are now handling greater than 500 billion writes a day in our current ingestion systems. This component will need to have strong consistency and provide large throughputs for index writes and reads.
At Uber, we have chosen HBase to be the backing store for the Global Indexing component and is a critical component in allowing us to scaling our jobs where we are now handling greater than 500 billion writes a day in our current ingestion systems. In this talk, we will discuss data@Uber and expound more on why we built the global index using Apache Hbase and how this helps to scale out our cluster usage. We’ll give details on why we chose HBase over other storage systems, how and why we came up with a creative solution to automatically load Hfiles directly to the backend circumventing the normal write path when bootstrapping our ingestion tables to avoid QPS constraints, as well as other learnings we had bringing this system up in production at the scale of data that Uber encounters daily.
Scaling Cloud-Scale Translytics Workloads with Omid and PhoenixDataWorks Summit
Recently, Apache Phoenix has been integrated with Apache (incubator) Omid transaction processing service, to provide ultra-high system throughput with ultra-low latency overhead. Phoenix has been shown to scale beyond 0.5M transactions per second with sub-5ms latency for short transactions on industry-standard hardware. On the other hand, Omid has been extended to support secondary indexes, multi-snapshot SQL queries, and massive-write transactions.
These innovative features make Phoenix an excellent choice for translytics applications, which allow converged transaction processing and analytics. We share the story of building the next-gen data tier for advertising platforms at Verizon Media that exploits Phoenix and Omid to support multi-feed real-time ingestion and AI pipelines in one place, and discuss the lessons learned.
Building the High Speed Cybersecurity Data Pipeline Using Apache NiFiDataWorks Summit
Cybersecurity requires an organization to collect data, analyze it, and alert on cyber anomalies in near real-time. This is a challenging endeavor when considering the variety of data sources which need to be collected and analyzed. Everything from application logs, network events, authentications systems, IOT devices, business events, cloud service logs, and more need to be taken into consideration. In addition, multiple data formats need to be transformed and conformed to be understood by both humans and ML/AI algorithms.
To solve this problem, the Aetna Global Security team developed the Unified Data Platform based on Apache NiFi, which allows them to remain agile and adapt to new security threats and the onboarding of new technologies in the Aetna environment. The platform currently has over 60 different data flows with 95% doing real-time ETL and handles over 20 billion events per day. In this session learn from Aetna’s experience building an edge to AI high-speed data pipeline with Apache NiFi.
In the healthcare sector, data security, governance, and quality are crucial for maintaining patient privacy and ensuring the highest standards of care. At Florida Blue, the leading health insurer of Florida serving over five million members, there is a multifaceted network of care providers, business users, sales agents, and other divisions relying on the same datasets to derive critical information for multiple applications across the enterprise. However, maintaining consistent data governance and security for protected health information and other extended data attributes has always been a complex challenge that did not easily accommodate the wide range of needs for Florida Blue’s many business units. Using Apache Ranger, we developed a federated Identity & Access Management (IAM) approach that allows each tenant to have their own IAM mechanism. All user groups and roles are propagated across the federation in order to determine users’ data entitlement and access authorization; this applies to all stages of the system, from the broadest tenant levels down to specific data rows and columns. We also enabled audit attributes to ensure data quality by documenting data sources, reasons for data collection, date and time of data collection, and more. In this discussion, we will outline our implementation approach, review the results, and highlight our “lessons learned.”
Presto: Optimizing Performance of SQL-on-Anything EngineDataWorks Summit
Presto, an open source distributed SQL engine, is widely recognized for its low-latency queries, high concurrency, and native ability to query multiple data sources. Proven at scale in a variety of use cases at Airbnb, Bloomberg, Comcast, Facebook, FINRA, LinkedIn, Lyft, Netflix, Twitter, and Uber, in the last few years Presto experienced an unprecedented growth in popularity in both on-premises and cloud deployments over Object Stores, HDFS, NoSQL and RDBMS data stores.
With the ever-growing list of connectors to new data sources such as Azure Blob Storage, Elasticsearch, Netflix Iceberg, Apache Kudu, and Apache Pulsar, recently introduced Cost-Based Optimizer in Presto must account for heterogeneous inputs with differing and often incomplete data statistics. This talk will explore this topic in detail as well as discuss best use cases for Presto across several industries. In addition, we will present recent Presto advancements such as Geospatial analytics at scale and the project roadmap going forward.
Introducing MlFlow: An Open Source Platform for the Machine Learning Lifecycl...DataWorks Summit
Specialized tools for machine learning development and model governance are becoming essential. MlFlow is an open source platform for managing the machine learning lifecycle. Just by adding a few lines of code in the function or script that trains their model, data scientists can log parameters, metrics, artifacts (plots, miscellaneous files, etc.) and a deployable packaging of the ML model. Every time that function or script is run, the results will be logged automatically as a byproduct of those lines of code being added, even if the party doing the training run makes no special effort to record the results. MLflow application programming interfaces (APIs) are available for the Python, R and Java programming languages, and MLflow sports a language-agnostic REST API as well. Over a relatively short time period, MLflow has garnered more than 3,300 stars on GitHub , almost 500,000 monthly downloads and 80 contributors from more than 40 companies. Most significantly, more than 200 companies are now using MLflow. We will demo MlFlow Tracking , Project and Model components with Azure Machine Learning (AML) Services and show you how easy it is to get started with MlFlow on-prem or in the cloud.
Extending Twitter's Data Platform to Google CloudDataWorks Summit
Twitter's Data Platform is built using multiple complex open source and in house projects to support Data Analytics on hundreds of petabytes of data. Our platform support storage, compute, data ingestion, discovery and management and various tools and libraries to help users for both batch and realtime analytics. Our DataPlatform operates on multiple clusters across different data centers to help thousands of users discover valuable insights. As we were scaling our Data Platform to multiple clusters, we also evaluated various cloud vendors to support use cases outside of our data centers. In this talk we share our architecture and how we extend our data platform to use cloud as another datacenter. We walk through our evaluation process, challenges we faced supporting data analytics at Twitter scale on cloud and present our current solution. Extending Twitter's Data platform to cloud was complex task which we deep dive in this presentation.
Event-Driven Messaging and Actions using Apache Flink and Apache NiFiDataWorks Summit
At Comcast, our team has been architecting a customer experience platform which is able to react to near-real-time events and interactions and deliver appropriate and timely communications to customers. By combining the low latency capabilities of Apache Flink and the dataflow capabilities of Apache NiFi we are able to process events at high volume to trigger, enrich, filter, and act/communicate to enhance customer experiences. Apache Flink and Apache NiFi complement each other with their strengths in event streaming and correlation, state management, command-and-control, parallelism, development methodology, and interoperability with surrounding technologies. We will trace our journey from starting with Apache NiFi over three years ago and our more recent introduction of Apache Flink into our platform stack to handle more complex scenarios. In this presentation we will compare and contrast which business and technical use cases are best suited to which platform and explore different ways to integrate the two platforms into a single solution.
Securing Data in Hybrid on-premise and Cloud Environments using Apache RangerDataWorks Summit
Companies are increasingly moving to the cloud to store and process data. One of the challenges companies have is in securing data across hybrid environments with easy way to centrally manage policies. In this session, we will talk through how companies can use Apache Ranger to protect access to data both in on-premise as well as in cloud environments. We will go into details into the challenges of hybrid environment and how Ranger can solve it. We will also talk through how companies can further enhance the security by leveraging Ranger to anonymize or tokenize data while moving into the cloud and de-anonymize dynamically using Apache Hive, Apache Spark or when accessing data from cloud storage systems. We will also deep dive into the Ranger’s integration with AWS S3, AWS Redshift and other cloud native systems. We will wrap it up with an end to end demo showing how policies can be created in Ranger and used to manage access to data in different systems, anonymize or de-anonymize data and track where data is flowing.
Big Data Meets NVM: Accelerating Big Data Processing with Non-Volatile Memory...DataWorks Summit
Advanced Big Data Processing frameworks have been proposed to harness the fast data transmission capability of Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) over high-speed networks such as InfiniBand, RoCEv1, RoCEv2, iWARP, and OmniPath. However, with the introduction of the Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) and NVM express (NVMe) based SSD, these designs along with the default Big Data processing models need to be re-assessed to discover the possibilities of further enhanced performance. In this talk, we will present, NRCIO, a high-performance communication runtime for non-volatile memory over modern network interconnects that can be leveraged by existing Big Data processing middleware. We will show the performance of non-volatile memory-aware RDMA communication protocols using our proposed runtime and demonstrate its benefits by incorporating it into a high-performance in-memory key-value store, Apache Hadoop, Tez, Spark, and TensorFlow. Evaluation results illustrate that NRCIO can achieve up to 3.65x performance improvement for representative Big Data processing workloads on modern data centers.
Background: Some early applications of Computer Vision in Retail arose from e-commerce use cases - but increasingly, it is being used in physical stores in a variety of new and exciting ways, such as:
● Optimizing merchandising execution, in-stocks and sell-thru
● Enhancing operational efficiencies, enable real-time customer engagement
● Enhancing loss prevention capabilities, response time
● Creating frictionless experiences for shoppers
Abstract: This talk will cover the use of Computer Vision in Retail, the implications to the broader Consumer Goods industry and share business drivers, use cases and benefits that are unfolding as an integral component in the remaking of an age-old industry.
We will also take a ‘peek under the hood’ of Computer Vision and Deep Learning, sharing technology design principles and skill set profiles to consider before starting your CV journey.
Deep learning has matured considerably in the past few years to produce human or superhuman abilities in a variety of computer vision paradigms. We will discuss ways to recognize these paradigms in retail settings, collect and organize data to create actionable outcomes with the new insights and applications that deep learning enables.
We will cover the basics of object detection, then move into the advanced processing of images describing the possible ways that a retail store of the near future could operate. Identifying various storefront situations by having a deep learning system attached to a camera stream. Such things as; identifying item stocks on shelves, a shelf in need of organization, or perhaps a wandering customer in need of assistance.
We will also cover how to use a computer vision system to automatically track customer purchases to enable a streamlined checkout process, and how deep learning can power plausible wardrobe suggestions based on what a customer is currently wearing or purchasing.
Finally, we will cover the various technologies that are powering these applications today. Deep learning tools for research and development. Production tools to distribute that intelligence to an entire inventory of all the cameras situation around a retail location. Tools for exploring and understanding the new data streams produced by the computer vision systems.
By the end of this talk, attendees should understand the impact Computer Vision and Deep Learning are having in the Consumer Goods industry, key use cases, techniques and key considerations leaders are exploring and implementing today.
Big Data Genomics: Clustering Billions of DNA Sequences with Apache SparkDataWorks Summit
Whole genome shotgun based next generation transcriptomics and metagenomics studies often generate 100 to 1000 gigabytes (GB) sequence data derived from tens of thousands of different genes or microbial species. De novo assembling these data requires an ideal solution that both scales with data size and optimizes for individual gene or genomes. Here we developed an Apache Spark-based scalable sequence clustering application, SparkReadClust (SpaRC), that partitions the reads based on their molecule of origin to enable downstream assembly optimization. SpaRC produces high clustering performance on transcriptomics and metagenomics test datasets from both short read and long read sequencing technologies. It achieved a near linear scalability with respect to input data size and number of compute nodes. SpaRC can run on different cloud computing environments without modifications while delivering similar performance. In summary, our results suggest SpaRC provides a scalable solution for clustering billions of reads from the next-generation sequencing experiments, and Apache Spark represents a cost-effective solution with rapid development/deployment cycles for similar big data genomics problems.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
