Session 1 (6:30 - 7:00 PM) - Open Source Big Data Ingest with StreamSets Data Collector

Big data tools such as Hadoop and Spark allow you to process data at unprecedented scale, but keeping your processing engine fed can be a challenge. Upstream data sources can 'drift' due to infrastructure, OS and application changes, causing ETL tools and hand-coded solutions to fail. StreamSets Data Collector (SDC) is an open source platform for building big data ingest pipelines that allows you to design, execute and monitor robust data flows. In this session we'll look at how SDC's "intent-driven" approach keeps the data flowing, whether you're processing data 'off-cluster', in Spark, or in MapReduce.

StreamSets software delivers performance management for data flows that feed the next generation of big data applications. Its mission is to bring operational excellence to the management of data in motion, so that data arrives on time and with quality, accelerating analysis and decision making. StreamSets Data Collector is in use at hundreds of companies where it brings unprecedented visibility into and control over data as it moves between an expanding variety of sources and destinations.

Pat Patterson has been working with Internet technologies since 1997, building software and working with communities at Sun Microsystems, Huawei, Salesforce and StreamSets. At Sun, Pat was the community lead for the OpenSSO open source project, while at Huawei he developed cloud storage infrastructure software. Part of the developer evangelism team at Salesforce, Pat focused on identity, integration and the Internet of Things. Now community champion at StreamSets, Pat is responsible for the care and feeding of the StreamSets open source community.

Session 2 (7:00 - 7:30 PM) - Better together: Fast Data with Apache Spark™ and Apache Ignite™

Spark and Ignite are two of the most popular open source projects in the area of high-performance Big Data and Fast Data. But did you know that one of the best ways to boost performance for your next generation real-time applications is to use them together? In this session, Dmitriy Setrakyan, Apache Ignite Project Management Committee Chairman and co-founder and CPO at GridGain will explain in detail how IgniteRDD — an implementation of native Spark RDD and DataFrame APIs — shares the state of the RDD across other Spark jobs, applications and workers. Dmitriy will also demonstrate how IgniteRDD, with its advanced in-memory indexing capabilities, allows execution of SQL queries many times faster than native Spark RDDs or Data Frames. Don't miss this opportunity to learn from one of the experts how to use Spark and Ignite better together in your projects.

Dmitriy Setrakyan, is a founder and CPO at GridGain Systems. Dmitriy has been working with distributed architectures for over 15 years and has expertise in the development of various middleware platforms, financial trading systems, CRM applications and similar systems. Prior to GridGain, Dmitriy worked at eBay where he was responsible for the architecture of an add-serving system processing several billion hits a day. Currently Dmitriy also acts as PMC chair of Apache Ignite project.

Session 3 (7:30 - 8:00 PM) - Recent development in Apache Oozie

First part of the talk will describe the anatomy of a typical data pipeline and how Apache Oozie meets the demands of large-scale data pipelines. In particular, we will focus on recent advancements in Oozie for dependency management among pipeline stages, incremental and partial processing, combinatorial, conditional and optional processing, priority processing, late processing and BCP management. Second part of the talk will focus on out of box support for spark jobs.
