Challenges - Architectural Considerations
▪ Reliable and scalable ingress of multiple data types and sources:
- High volume event data? Batch data?
▪ Reliable and scalable storage to support multiple workloads and access patterns
- Historical data? Real-time search? Analytics
▪ Processing engines (for background processing):
- Stream processing? Batch processing?
▪ Data Modeling
- Modeling data for real-time random access? Analytic access? Batch access?

Buffering Data – Flume vs. Kafka
▪ Flume – well integrated with Hadoop.
- Great choice when ingesting data into HDFS.
- Can support simple transformations.
- Less coding.
▪ But…
- Interface between Kafka and the streaming layer is already well defined.
- Transformations are done in the stream processing layer.
- We need a more general purpose system at this layer.

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.

Kafka Message Loss
▪Kafka
-Failure >= then acknowledgements
-Use a higher ack level
▪Producer
-If disconnected from Kafka and buffer overflows
-Consider a producer side buffer (e.g. Flume)

▪ Ingestion (most relevant in our use-case)
▪ Simple transformations
- Decision (e.g. anomaly detection)
- Enrichment (e.g. add a state based on zipcode)
▪ Advanced usage
- Machine Learning
- Windowing

Questions? tiny.cloudera.com/app-arch-

#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

Questions? tiny.cloudera.com/app-arch-

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? tiny.cloudera.com/app-arch-
questions
#1a - Locally broadcast cached data
Could be
On heap or Off
heap
Questions? tiny.cloudera.com/app-arch-

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

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

Use only for tables that filter

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

Solr: Data Model
▪ Think of it like a cube on a object type
- In our case a taxi trip
- Allows for rollups and aggregations from object’s point of view
- Think of objects as immutable
- Try to find time based events
- May design more than one object type

Questions? tiny.cloudera.com/app-arch-
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? tiny.cloudera.com/app-arch-
questions
Batch processing options
▪ Spark (+ MLlib)
▪ MapReduce (+ Mahout)
▪ Flink (+ Flink ML)
Questions? tiny.cloudera.com/app-arch-
questions
Spark
▪ Pretty popular
▪ Much faster than MapReduce
▪ Thriving community
Questions? tiny.cloudera.com/app-arch-

MapReduce
▪ Sloooooow
Questions? tiny.cloudera.com/app-arch-
questions
Flink
▪ Pretty popular
▪ Batch is a special case of Streaming
▪ Developing community
Questions? tiny.cloudera.com/app-arch-
questions
In our use-case
▪ We chose Spark
- We were using Spark Streaming anyways
- Similar code between Spark and Spark Streaming
- Thriving community

Types of data access
▪ REST server/APIs for querying entities and aggregates
▪ UI for displaying search facets
▪ SQL engine
REST servers
Considerations
Questions? tiny.cloudera.com/app-arch-
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!

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",

val context = new Context(server, "/", Context.SESSIONS)
context.addServlet(sh, "/*”)
server.start()
server.join()

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? tiny.cloudera.com/app-arch-
questions
Use REST! Say no to business people!
▪ Access data like so:
http://<serverURL>:8080/vender/{venderId}/timeline
UI
Considerations
Questions? tiny.cloudera.com/app-arch-
questions
UI requirements
Something that can
▪ Represent search results really well
▪ Integrates with Apache Solr on Hadoop
Questions? tiny.cloudera.com/app-arch-
questions
UI options
▪ Hue
▪ Banana
▪ Kibana
Questions? tiny.cloudera.com/app-arch-
questions
We choose Hue
▪ Because it’s included
▪ Please look at the others
SQL engines
Considerations
Questions? tiny.cloudera.com/app-arch-
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? tiny.cloudera.com/app-arch-
questions
Apache Hive
▪ Good JDBC integration
▪ Not really low latency, even when using Tez
▪ Doesn’t integrate with Kudu
▪ Can run at MR, Spark, or Tez
Questions? tiny.cloudera.com/app-arch-
questions
Presto
▪ Low latency SQL engine from Facebook
▪ Provides JDBC/ODBC access
▪ Is only in-memory, large aggregations can lead to OOM errors
▪ Doesn’t integrate with Kudu
Questions? tiny.cloudera.com/app-arch-
questions
Apache Impala
▪ Low latency SQL access
▪ Provides JDBC/ODBC access
▪ Excellent concurrency support
▪ Integrates with Kudu for real-time SQL
Questions? tiny.cloudera.com/app-arch-
questions
Apache Drill
▪ Similar in architecture to Impala
▪ Provides JDBC/ODBC access
▪ Doesn’t integrate with Kudu
Questions? tiny.cloudera.com/app-arch-
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? tiny.cloudera.com/app-arch-
questions
We choose
▪ Spark SQL
▪ Impala
