Study Notes
Application Deployment: Development of Scalable Applications
- Scalable applications are crucial for handling high-velocity, massive volume, and diverse data in Big Data processing.
- Examples include Netflix's daily petabyte processing for recommendations and analytics.
- Scalability enables real-time analytics, efficient storage, and seamless scaling to manage rapid data growth.
- It enables real-time insights, quick adaptation to new data sources, and high availability.
Deployment Methods
- Manual installations: install Hadoop and Spark (using specific links)
- Cloud computing distributions: faster installation and scalability.
- Cloudera, Hortonworks, Google, AWS, Microsoft, IBM are some examples
Manual Installation Guidance
- Basic command-line/bash commands are needed
- The needed software must be downloaded
- Dependencies should be set correctly
- Environment variables must be checked
- Networking (IP addresses) and protocols (SSH keys for encryption) must be configured
- Install and verify prerequisites (check the software's version).
- Follow prescribed installation guides
- The installed software must be moved to the appropriate directory.
- Scripts to run continuously are needed (Linux: .service file, Windows: Task Scheduler)
Tool Configuration
- Modify configuration files (core-site.xml, hdfs-site.xml, mapred-site.xml for Hadoop; spark-defaults.conf, spark-env.sh for Spark) as needed.
- Set appropriate resource limits (memory allocation, number of threads)
- Enable logging with specified log levels (INFO, DEBUG, ERROR) as well as configure log rotation mechanisms.
- Verify the installation by running basic commands and verify services.
- Check processes (ps or tasklist) and use web UIs (e.g. Hadoop ResourceManager/Spark Master).
System Optimization
- Adjust system limits (ulimit, kernel parameters) for performance.
- Optimize JVM settings for Java-based tools (e.g., -Xms2g -Xmx4g).
- Enable caching and compression for handling large data volumes
- Install monitoring tools
- JMX Exporter, Prometheus, Grafana for metrics
- Log analyzers like Elasticsearch, Kibana,
- Monitor disk usage, CPU, memory, and network throughput
- Document the process and keep a log of installation actions and configurations.
- Create a backup of configuration files for reference.
Deploying Spark & Airflow
- Option 1: Use a virtual machine (e.g., VirtualBox, Ubuntu).
- Option 2: Use docker containers
- Option 3: Use docker-compose
Design for Big Data Applications
- Design modular pipelines for ingestion, processing, and storage.
- Test the pipelines with real-world data to identify any bottlenecks.
- Build systems that are fault-tolerant and have mechanisms for recovery.
- Implement data partitioning for distributed workloads.
Big Data Scalability Considerations
- Scalability ensures big data systems meet increasing business needs.
- Proper design enables real-time analytics and batch processing.
Key Tools & Techniques
- Distributed storage (e.g., HDFS, Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage)
- Data processing frameworks (e.g., Hadoop, Spark, Flink)
- Streaming tools (e.g., Kafka, AWS Kinesis, Apache Pulsar)
- Workflow orchestration and automation (e.g., Apache Airflow, Apache NiFi, Luigi, Prefect)
- Monitoring and optimization tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, ELK Stack)
- ETL and Data Integration tools (e.g., Talend, Informatica, dbt)
- Cloud Resource Management (e.g., Kubernetes, Terraform, Cloud Dataflow)
Real Case Studies
- Netflix uses Spark and Kafka for real-time recommendation pipelines.
- Uber utilizes scalable architecture for ride-matching and analytics.
- Twitter manages millions of tweets per second using distributed systems.
