Apache Ozone - User Group Summit

We are proud to co-sponsor the first N. American in-person meetup for the Apache Ozone user community. Anyone is welcome, you do not have to be involved with the ASF project. We have a full agenda; here's a summary of the three talks we plan to deliver:

## Bucket types and FSO improvements

Speaker: Ethan Rose
Recent release of the Cloudera Data Platform 7.1.8 shipped two key feature improvements for Apache Ozone - ability to create specialized buckets: object store (OBS) and file system optimized (FSO). The special FSO-enabled bucket now supports atomic renames on file system objects; required for data warehousing workloads like Apache Hive queries to perform efficiently and correctly on underlying storage. Come join us to learn more about how Ozone can now support diverse workloads in cloud-native environment: single storage system with S3 as well as hierarchical file-system capabilities.

## Apache Ozone snapshots - new design

Speakers: Prashant Pogde, Siyao Meng
Apache Ozone snapshots is a critical innovation currently driven by Cloudera with the active Apache Ozone community. This talk covers the early design goals, architecture of snapshots and results from an early POC. Ozone aims to uniquely provide an object storage solution that enables a consistent point in time view of the namespace with instantaneous snapshot capability and very efficient linear time snapshot diff feature to find out what has changed in your system in between snapshots. Come join us to learn more about how we propose to achieve this.

## Apache Ozone Performance

Speakers: Ritesh Shukla
Apache Ozone is a modern object storage that uniquely supports a native S3 interface as well as a Hadoop compatible file system interface. Ozone’s architecture is designed to meet the high performance requirements of diverse workloads while being able to scale to billions of objects and 100s of petabytes of dense distributed storage nodes. The Apache Ozone community invested a significant amount of time to improve performance, both throughput and latency for metadata and data. Moreover, Apache Ozone is built to take advantage of modern storage innovations like NVMe. This talk will provide insights into such improvements while sharing test results for well known benchmarks like TPC-DS.

Come join us at Cloudera's office (see the above right for location information) in Santa Clara. We have a "hard" capacity limit for folks attending in person, so be sure to pre-register (registration will close on Nov 7th). We plan to have food and beverages for folks who come in person.

Since this event extends to "after hours", you will be asked to "sign in" as a visitor to the building/campus so that security won't inadvertently escort you off the premises (your name will be shared with them in advance).

If you'd like to participate but can't make it in person, many of our "sister groups" are going to be simulcasting the proceedings online. You can register for that using, for instance, Future of Data: New York's event page.
