Solution
My reports make
my database
server very slow
Before 2009
The DBA years
Overnight DB dump
Read-only replica
My data doesn’t fit in
one machine
And it’s not only
transactional
2009-2011
The Hadoop epiphany
Hadoop
Map/Reduce all the
things
My data is very
fast
Map/Reduce is
hard to use
2012-2014
The Message Broker
and NoSQL Age
Kafka/RabbitMQ
Cassandra/HBASE
/STORM
Basic ETL
Hive
Duplicating batch/stream is inefficient
I need to cleanse my source data
Hadoop ecosystem is hard to manage
My data scientists don’t like JAVA
I am not sure which data we are
already processing
2015-2017
The Spark kingdom and
the spreadsheet wars
Kafka/Spark
Complex ETL
Create new departments for data
governance
Spreadsheet all the things
Streaming is hard
My schemas have evolved
I cannot query old and new
data together
My cluster is running old
versions. Upgrading is hard
I want to use ML
2017-2018
The myth of DataOps
Kafka/Flink (JAVA or Scala
required)
Complex ETL with a pinch of
ML
Apache Atlas
Commercial distributions

Some problems during all periods
• My team spends more time maintaining the cluster than adding functionality
• Security and monitoring are hard
• Most of my time my cluster is sitting idle; Then it’s a bottleneck
• I don’t have the time to experiment
• Data preparation, cleansing, and basic transformations take a
disproportionally high amount of my time. And it’s so frustrating

Some simple things that scare me (and eat my productivity)
• Text encodings
• Empty strings. Literal ”NULL” strings
• Uppercase and Lowercase
• Date and time formats: which date would you say this is 1/4/19? And this? 1553589297
• CSV, especially if uploaded by end users
• JSON files with a single array and 200.000 records inside
• The same JSON file when row 176.543 has a column never seen before
• The same JSON file when all the numbers are strings
• XML

The downfall of the data engineer
Watching paint dry is exciting in comparison to writing and maintaining Extract
Transform and Load (ETL) logic. Most ETL jobs take a long time to execute and errors
or issues tend to happen at runtime or are post-runtime assertions. Since the
development time to execution time ratio is typically low, being productive means
juggling with multiple pipelines at once and inherently doing a lot of context
switching. By the time one of your 5 running “big data jobs” has finished, you have to
get back in the mind space you were in many hours ago and craft your next iteration.
Depending on how caffeinated you are, how long it’s been since the last iteration, and
how systematic you are, you may fail at restoring the full context in your short term
memory. This leads to systemic, stupid errors that waste hours.

A data lake is a centralized repository that allows
you to store all your structured and unstructured
data at any scale.
Modern data analytics 101

A good data lake allows self-service and can
easily plug-in new analytical engines.

It’s all about democratizing access to your data
across the organization.

The concept of a Data Lake
• All data in one place, a single source of truth
• Handles structured/semi-structured/unstructured/raw data
• Supports fast ingestion and consumption
• Schema on read
• Designed for low-cost storage
• Decouples storage and compute
• Supports protection and security rules

A Possible Open Source solution
• Hadoop Cluster (static/multi tenant)
• Apache NiFi for ingestion workflows
• Sqoop to ingest data from RDBMS
• HDFS to store the data (tied to the Hadoop cluster)
• Hive/HCatalog for data Catalog
• Apache Atlas for a more human data catalog and governance
• Apache Spark for complex ETL –with Apache Livy for REST
• Hive for batch workloads with SQL
• Presto for interactive queries with SQL
• Kafka for streaming ingest
• Apache Spark/Apache Flink for streaming analytics
• Apache Hbase (or maybe Cassandra) to store streaming data
• Apache Phoenix to run SQL queries on top of Hbase
• Prometheus (or fluentd/collectd/ganglia/Nagios…) for logs and monitoring. Maybe with Elastic Search/Kibana
• Airflow/Oozie to schedule workflows
• Superset for business dashboards
• Jupyter/JupyterHub/Zeppelin for data science
• Security (Apache Sentry for Roles, Ranger for configuration, Knox as a firewall)
• YARN to coordinate resources
• Ambari for cluster administration
• Terraform/chef/puppet for provisioning

Customer interest in AWS Lake Formation
“We are very excited about the launch of AWS Lake
Formation, which provides a central point of control to
easily load, clean, secure, and catalog data from thousands of
clients to our AWS-based data lake, dramatically reducing
our operational load. … Additionally, AWS Lake Formation
will be HIPAA compliant from day one …”
- Aaron Symanski, CTO, Change Healthcare
“I can’t wait for my team to get our hands on AWS Lake
Formation. With an enterprise-ready option like Lake
Formation, we will be able to spend more time deriving
value from our data rather than doing the heavy lifting
involved in manually setting up and managing our data lake.”
- Joshua Couch, VP Engineering, Fender Digital
