Questions?
Topics and Partitions
▪ Messages are organized into topics, and each topic is split into partitions.
- Each partition is an immutable, time-sequenced log of messages on disk.
- Note that time ordering is guaranteed within, but not across, partitions.

Questions?
How many partitions?
§ Adding partitions late in the game is painful
§ Basic formula:
total desired throughput / throughput of slowest consumer or producer
§ Or ~25GB disk space
§ Not too many because:
- Each partition takes broker heap memory and file handles
- Each partition slows down node shutdown / recovery
- 1000 – 4000 partitions per broker max
- Producers will produce smaller batches – lower throughput

Questions?
Guarding Against Message Loss
§ Producer – What happens if the producer loses connection to Kafka and the buffer overflows?
- You get an exception. You can choose to… block? Write to file?
§ Source – What happens if events are lost before getting sent to producer?
- Once again use some kind of buffer to provide sufficient retention of data.

Questions?
#1 – Simple Ingestion
1. Zero transformation
- No transformation, plain ingest
- Keep the original format – SequenceFile, Text, etc.
- Allows to store data that may have errors in the schema
2. Format transformation
- Simply change the format of the field
- To a structured format, say, Avro, for example
- Can do schema validation
3. Atomic transformation
- Mask a credit card number

Context store
Need to store the
context
somewhere

Questions?
Where to store the context?
1. Locally Broadcast Cached Dim Data
- Local to Process (On Heap, Off Heap)
- Local to Node (Off Process)
2. Partitioned Cache
- Shuffle to move new data to partitioned cache
3. External Fetch Data (e.g. HBase, Memcached)

Questions?
#1a - Locally broadcast cached data
Could be
On heap or Off heap

Questions?
#1b - Off process cached data
Data is cached on the
node, outside of
process. Potentially in
an external system like
Rocks DB

Questions?
#2 - Partitioned cache data
Data is partitioned
based on field(s) and
then cached

Questions?
#3 - External fetch
Data fetched from
external system

Questions?
Partitioned cache + external

Hive Normal Views
Hive Materialized Table
Views
Use in the cases where the view requires
a join that is done through a shuffle
Use only for tables that filter
records/columns or use for marking fields

Questions?
Nested
▪ Less Space than Denormalization
▪ Still have tables but the cost of joins is all but gone
▪ Also great for cartesian joins
- N x M vs N + M
▪ Not really supported yet with Kudu or HBase with SQL

Questions?
De-normalized vs Nested
- Nested Pros
- Co-location
- Faster to group by
- Faster to window
- Joins are free
- Less data
- Better compression
- Tables and Columns can be read with out penalty from one not read
- Great for limiting the effort are Cartesian Joins
- Nested Cons
- Size limitation of parent row
- Adding child requires the re-write the the whole parent record

Questions?
Options for appending Nested
- It is all about the parent record
- We can add more then one Partition key for the parent
- In our use case
- User & watch month or day

Questions?
Storage and In Memory
- Also don t limit the idea of nested to just tables
- In Spark they can be used as in memory constructs to
- conserve on networking
- In memory cost

- Cassandra
- Out of the Box:
- HashMod
- Bucketed HashMod

Questions?
So what about SQL
- Well SQL could totally work
- CQL for cassandra
- Hive and SparkSQL on Hbase
- Why is it not the best idea
- Built more for point look ups
- Scans are not as fast as parquet
- However the mutability may be more important then speed
- Partitioning is not simple
- It must be put into the key

Questions?
Let s Talk about CAP for a Minute
- Strong Consistence
- HBase & Kudu
- Variable Consistence
- Cassandra

Questions?
HBase Model

Master
Region Server 1
Region Server 2
- Region Server owns range splits
- Region Server 1 fails
- Master needs to figure that out
- Master needs to assign new Region Server to own splits
- Region Server 2 has to get organized
- Region Server 2 is read to server reads and writes

Questions?
Partitioning
- SolR and Elastic Search partition the document o land on all nodes
- This means
- You have the power of the cluster when querying
- This mean you are accessing the cluster when querying

Questions?
Writing Latency
- Lucene Indexing is more expensive then NoSQL work
- Think of it as micro batching
- Larger batches ~= better throughput
- Compaction is also invalid
- Deletes impact storage and performance until they are compacted

Questions?
Storage Cost
- TTL is your friend
- Think of Lucene based systems as great if
- You dataset is manageable in size
- You have a good TTL strategy
- You have a boat load of money

Questions?
BSP Bulk Synchronous Parallel
- Process every Node Atomically
- Node gets all messages sent to it
- Nodes can mutate them selves and their edges
- Nodes can send messages to other nodes
- But nothing is received yet
- BSP waits until all the Node processing is done
- Then send messages to the right partition
- Repeat

Batch Processing
Considerations

Questions?
Why have batch processing?
▪ When you need a larger context
- Say, to train a model
▪ Complex periodic job that does something
- Convert data to a nested structure for reduced number of shuffles
▪ In our use-case,
- Kudu -> HDFS Nested is batch processing
- KMeans calculation is also in bash

Questions?
Batch processing options
▪ Spark (+ MLlib)
▪ MapReduce (+ Mahout)
▪ Flink (+ Flink ML)

Questions?
Spark
▪ Pretty popular
▪ Much faster than MapReduce
▪ Thriving community

Questions?
MapReduce
▪ Sloooooow

Questions?
Flink
▪ Pretty popular
▪ Batch is a special case of Streaming
▪ Developing community

Questions?
In our use-case
▪ We chose Spark
- We were using Spark Streaming anyways
- Similar code between Spark and Spark Streaming
- Thriving community

Interactive
Data Access
Considerations

Questions?
Types of data access
▪ REST server/APIs for querying entities and aggregates
▪ UI for displaying search facets
▪ SQL engine

Questions?
Why have REST server?
▪ Tired of business people telling us how to access data
▪ Serves as an interface between the data engineers and business folks
▪ Lets business folks decide access patterns
▪ Engineers to optimize those patterns
▪ Brownie points from your boss
▪ And, it’s not that difficult to write!

Questions?
Don’t believe me?
import org.mortbay.jetty.Server
import org.mortbay.jetty.servlet.{Context, ServletHolder}
…
val server = new Server(port)
val sh = new ServletHolder(classOf[ServletContainer])
sh.setInitParameter("com.sun.jersey.config.property.resourceConfigClass",
"com.sun.jersey.api.core.PackagesResourceConfig")
sh.setInitParameter("com.sun.jersey.config.property.packages",
"com.hadooparchitecturebook.taxi360.server.hbase")
sh.setInitParameter("com.sun.jersey.api.json.POJOMappingFeature", "true”)
val context = new Context(server, "/", Context.SESSIONS)
context.addServlet(sh, "/*”)
server.start()
server.join()

Questions?
Then, write a ServiceLayer
@GET
@Path("vender/{venderId}/timeline")
@Produces(Array(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON))
def getTripTimeLine (@PathParam("venderId") venderId:String,
@QueryParam("startTime") startTime:String = Long.MinValue.toString,
@QueryParam("endTime") endTime:String = Long.MaxValue.toString):
Array[NyTaxiYellowTrip] = {

Questions?
Use REST! Say no to business people!
▪ Access data like so:
http://<serverURL>:8080/vendor/{vendorId}/timeline

Questions?
UI requirements
Something that can
▪Represent search results really well
▪Integrates with Apache Solr on Hadoop

Questions?
UI options
▪ Hue
▪ Banana
▪ Kibana

Questions?
We choose Hue
▪ Because it’s included
▪ Please look at the others

Questions?
SQL engine criteria
▪ Low latency SQL access
▪ Allows for high concurrency
▪ JDBC/ODBC integration
▪ Capable of large scale aggregation
▪ Optionally integrates with Kudu for real-time updates to SQL tables

Questions?
Apache Hive
▪ Good JDBC integration
▪ Not really low latency, even when using Tez
▪ Doesn’t integrate with Kudu
§ Can run with MapReduce, Spark, or Tez

Questions?
Presto
▪ Low latency SQL engine from Facebook
▪ Provides JDBC/ODBC access
▪ Is only in-memory, large aggregations can lead to OOM errors

Questions?
Apache Impala
▪ Low latency SQL access
▪ Excellent concurrency support
▪ Integrates with Kudu for real-time SQL

Questions?
Apache Drill
▪ Similar in architecture to Impala

Questions?
Spark SQL
▪ Builds on top of Spark
▪ JDBC/ODBC access only via Spark Thrift Server
- Doesn’t scale well with larger number of concurrent users
- Doesn’t fully provide secure access.

Questions?
We choose
▪ Spark SQL
▪ Impala
