Weekend Learning - Good Session - Taming Big Data with Berkeley Data Analytics Stack

Good Session - Taming Big Data with Berkeley Data Analytics Stack 

Notes captured from the session

Big Data Use Cases (Making personalized decisions for each customer, Analyse data trends)

Data Processing Goals

• Earlier Trend - Analyse historical data
• Current Trend - Real time data processing
• Goal - Sophisticated data processing (Trend analysis, Anomaly detection)

Open Analytics Stack

• Apps - Data Analysis, Mining, Decision Driven Apps
• Data Processing - HBase, Hive, Hadoop
• Storage - HDFS
• Infrastructure - Cluster

Goals of Open Analytics Stack

• Support batch, interactive and stream processing

Implementation Notes

• Store data in memory (SSD's, 512GB of RAM)
• FB / Yahoo / Bing - Some very large jobs but vast majority are pretty small
• Aggregating inputs for other jobs fit in memory of cluster
• Parallelism of jobs, Failure Recovery, Job Scheduling handled
• Trade-off between accuracy and response time
• Single execution framework for batch, streaming and interactive computations

New layers added are mentioned in ()

• Application
• Data Processing (In Memory Processing)
• Storage (Data Management Layer), (Resource Management)
• Infrastructure
• One cluster for both MPI and Hadoop
• Spark (Batch & Interactive Apps Support)
• Spark and Shark are available in Amazon Elastic Map Reduce
• Tachyon - Storage abstraction
