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.

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

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.

Streaming agenda
▪ What do we mean by streaming?
▪ Streaming use-cases
▪ Streaming semantics
▪ Which streaming engine to choose?
▪ Streaming in our use-case

What do we mean by streaming?
Constant low
milliseconds & under
Low milliseconds to
seconds, delay in
case of failures
10s of seconds or
more, re-run in case
of failures
Real-time Near real-time Batch

But, there’s no free lunch
Constant low
milliseconds & under
Low milliseconds to
seconds, delay in
case of failures
10s of seconds or
more, re-run in case
of failures
Real-time Near real-time Batch
“Difficult” architectures, lower
latency
“Easier” architectures, higher
latency

Streaming Use-cases
▪ 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

#1 - Simple ingestion

#3 – Advanced usage

Model

#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

#2 - Enrichment
Buffer
Event e Stream
Processing Storage
Event e’
e’ = enriched event e
Context store
Need to store the
context
somewhere

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)

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

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

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

#3 - External fetch
Data fetched from
external system

Partitioned cache + external

Delivery Types
▪ At most once
- Not good for many cases
- Only where performance/SLA is more important than accuracy
▪ Exactly once
- Expensive to achieve but desirable
▪ At least once
- Easiest to achieve

Spark Streaming - Gaps
▪ Not as low of a latency
- Efforts towards reducing latency e.g. RISElab’s Drizzle
▪ Global consistent execution state
- Stop overall execution of distributed computation
- Eagerly persist records in transit meaning larger snapshots

Flink
▪ True “streaming” system, but not as feature rich as Spark
▪ Much better event time handling
▪ Good built-in backpressure support
▪ Allows stateful transformations
▪ Lower Latency
- No Micro Batching
- Asynchronous Barrier Snapshotting (ABS)

Storm
▪ Old school
▪ Didn’t manage state – had to use Trident
▪ No good support for batch processing

Samza
▪ Good integration with Kafka
▪ Doesn’t support batch
▪ Forked by Kafka Streams

Flume
▪ Well integrated with the Hadoop ecosystem
▪ Allowed interceptors (for simple transformations)
▪ Supports buffering
- Memory
- File
- Kafka
▪ But no real fault-tolerance
▪ No state management

Kafka Streams
▪ Good integration with Kafka
▪ Light-weight library (not a framework)
▪ No micro-batching, uses Kafka as internal messaging layer
▪ Maintains local state per node (in RocksDB, or in memory
hash map)
▪ Handles late events
▪ Stream-to-stream joins

Relational
▪ Everyone knows it
▪ Simple
▪ Very painful to do large Join
▪ May lead to customers making bad queries
▪ Easier to mutate

Kudu Data Models
▪ Entity Summary Tables
- Quick update and access of aggregate of Entity Stats
▪ Event Tables
- Number of Partitioning strategies
- Partition by Entity
- Partition by Hash on time

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

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

Batch Processing
Considerations

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

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

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

MapReduce
▪ Sloooooow

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

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

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

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",
"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()

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] = {

Use REST! Say no to business people!
▪ Access data like so:
http://<serverURL>:8080/vender/{venderId}/timeline

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

UI options
▪ Hue
▪ Banana
▪ Kibana

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

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

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

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

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

Apache Drill
▪ Similar in architecture to Impala

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.

We choose
▪ Spark SQL
▪ Impala
