Should you read Kafka as a stream or in batch? Should you even care? | Ido Na...HostedbyConfluent
This document discusses whether it is better to process data using a stream or batch approach. It describes how one company evolved their data pipeline from a micro-batch streaming process to a batch approach. The streaming process was very expensive, costing $400,000 per year to run. It also had issues with wasted resources during idle times, slow processing during bursts of data, and long recovery times from outages. The company rearchitected the process to use discrete time windows run in isolated batch jobs. This new batch approach reduced costs by 60% to $160,000 per year and improved processing efficiency and outage recovery times.
Spark-Streaming-as-a-Service with Kafka and YARN: Spark Summit East talk by J...Spark Summit
Since April 2016, Spark-as-a-service has been available to researchers in Sweden from the Swedish ICT SICS Data Center at www.hops.site. Researchers work in an entirely UI-driven environment on a platform built with only open-source software.
Spark applications can be either deployed as jobs (batch or streaming) or written and run directly from Apache Zeppelin. Spark applications are run within a project on a YARN cluster with the novel property that Spark applications are metered and charged to projects. Projects are also securely isolated from each other and include support for project-specific Kafka topics. That is, Kafka topics are protected from access by users that are not members of the project. In this talk we will discuss the challenges in building multi-tenant Spark streaming applications on YARN that are metered and easy-to-debug. We show how we use the ELK stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana) for logging and debugging running Spark streaming applications, how we use Graphana and Graphite for monitoring Spark streaming applications, and how users can debug and optimize terminated Spark Streaming jobs using Dr Elephant. We will also discuss the experiences of our users (over 120 users as of Sept 2016): how they manage their Kafka topics and quotas, patterns for how users share topics between projects, and our novel solutions for helping researchers debug and optimize Spark applications.
To conclude, we will also give an overview on our course ID2223 on Large Scale Learning and Deep Learning, in which 60 students designed and ran SparkML applications on the platform.
Apache Spark on Kubernetes Anirudh Ramanathan and Tim ChenDatabricks
Kubernetes is a fast growing open-source platform which provides container-centric infrastructure. Conceived by Google in 2014, and leveraging over a decade of experience running containers at scale internally, it is one of the fastest moving projects on GitHub with 1000+ contributors and 40,000+ commits. Kubernetes has first class support on Google Cloud Platform, Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft Azure.
Unlike YARN, Kubernetes started as a general purpose orchestration framework with a focus on serving jobs. Support for long-running, data intensive batch workloads required some careful design decisions. Engineers across several organizations have been working on Kubernetes support as a cluster scheduler backend within Spark. During this process, we encountered several challenges in translating Spark considerations into idiomatic Kubernetes constructs. In this talk, we describe the challenges and the ways in which we solved them. This talk will be technical and is aimed at people who are looking to run Spark effectively on their clusters. The talk assumes basic familiarity with cluster orchestration and containers.
Architecture of a Kafka camus infrastructuremattlieber
This document summarizes the results of a performance evaluation of Kafka and Camus to ingest streaming data into Hadoop. It finds that Kafka can ingest data at rates from 15,000-50,000 messages per second depending on data format (Avro is fastest). Camus can move the data to HDFS at rates from 54,000-662,000 records per second. Once in HDFS, queries on Avro-formatted data are fastest, with count and max aggregation queries completing in under 100 seconds for 20 million records. The customer's goal of 5000 events per second can be easily achieved with this architecture.

Matt Franklin - Apache Software (Geekfest)W2O Group
The document discusses the potential benefits of container technologies like Docker. It notes that containers offer significantly higher density than virtual machines by avoiding hypervisor overhead. This density improvement can lead to major cost reductions by reducing infrastructure needs. Containers also improve developer efficiency by making development environments portable and disposable. This allows more rapid experimentation and innovation, potentially translating to increased revenue. Technologies like Amazon Lambda take the on-demand aspects of containers even further by abstracting compute resources. The document promotes StackEngine as a solution for managing containers at scale in production environments.
