Develop and deploy Streaming Analytics applications visually with bindings for streaming engine and multiple source/sinks, rich set of streaming operators and operational lifecycle management. Streaming Analytics Manager makes it easy to develop, monitor streaming applications and also provides analytics of data thats being processed by streaming application.

History of Streaming at Hortonworks
 Introduced Storm as Stream Processing Engine in HDP-2.1 (Late 2013)
 First to ship Apache Kafka as Enterprise Messaging Queue ( Early 2014)
 Added several improvements & features into Apache Storm. Yahoo! Running 2400 nodes of
Storm
 Added Security and critical features/improvements to Apache Kafka
 Lot of learnings from shipping Storm & Kafka from past 3 years
 Vision & Implementation of Registry & Streaming Analytics Manager based on our learnings from
shipping Storm & Kafka for past 3 years.

Why Schema Registry
 Streaming Applications usually fronts with a queue such as Kafka, Kinesis, EventHub etc..
 Data in Messaging Queues are Byte payloads and there is no schema associated with it.
 Streaming applications developers usually looks at the data flowing and defines their
processing of that data
 Any change to this data, schema wise, means developers have to update their code to
process the new format
 Support both programmatic schema creation and managed schemas

Streaming Analytics Manager
 What is it?
• A platform to design, develop, deploy and manage streaming analytics applications using a drag
drop visualize paradigm in minutes
• Allows you to do event correlation, context enrichment, complex pattern matching, analytical
aggregations and alerts/notifications when insights are discovered.
• Agnostic to the underlying streaming engine and can support multiple streaming engines (e.g:
Storm, Spark Streaming, Flink)
• Extensibility is a first class citizen (add sinks, processors, sources as needed)
 Guiding Principle
– Build complex streaming applications easily with minimum code

6. Page6 © Hortonworks Inc. 2011 – 2016. All Rights Reserved
Complexities in building streaming applications
 New streaming engines and APIs
 Implementing windowing, joins, and state management is hard
 Interaction with external services such as HBase, Hive, HDFS etc
 Deploying with all the necessary configuration files
 Operations around the streaming application including monitoring and metrics
 Debugging streaming application
 Securing a streaming application cluster with the right configurations is a pain

7. Page7 © Hortonworks Inc. 2011 – 2016. All Rights Reserved
Key challenges that SAM is trying to solve
 Building streaming applications requires specialized skillsets that most enterprise
organizations don’t have today
 Streaming applications require considerable amount of programming, testing and tuning
before deploying to production which takes a significant amount of time
 Key streaming primitives such as joining/splitting streams, aggregations over a window of
time and pattern matching are difficult to implement
 People don’t prefer to code to build complex streaming applications
 No true open source project today solves all of the above challenges
 People don’t care about the streaming engine that powers streaming applications so much as
long challenges above are addressed and doesn’t force them into vendor lock in.

Streaming Analytics powered by Druid and Superset
 What is Stream Insight?
 Provides a tool for business analysts to do descriptive analytics of the streaming data and
insights using a sophisticated UI provided by Superset
 Tooling to create time-series and real-time analytics dashboards, charts and graphs and
create rich customizable visualization of data
