C* 2012: End-to-End Analytic Workflows with Cassandra (Jeremy Hanna, DataStax)

Session: End-to-end Analytic Workflows With Cassandra
Speaker: Jeremy Hanna (DataStax)
Description: As more data is stored in Cassandra, performing batch oriented analytics over that data becomes increasingly valuable. Users may want to perform data validation, discover trends, evolve their Cassandra data model, or just generally explore their data. This presentation will be an overview of how to use tools such as Pig, Mahout and Oozie with Cassandra to create non-trivial analytic workflows. It will draw on experience and lessons learned building end-to-end analytic workflows in a production environment at The Dachis Group.

Cassandra NYC 2011: Nathan Marz - The Storm and Cassandra Realtime Computation Stack

Nathan Marz - The Storm and Cassandra Realtime Computation Stack

Nathan Marz (@nathanmarz) is currently employed at Twitter as the lead engineer for the Storm Project. In Nathan's own words: Storm is a distributed, reliable, and fault-tolerant stream processing system. Its use cases are so broad that we consider it to be a fundamental new primitive for data processing. That's why we call it the Hadoop of realtime: it does for realtime processing what Hadoop does for batch processing. Storm is of particular value for stream processing, continuous computation, and distributed RPC. Read more about Nathan's work at his blog: Thoughts from a Red Planet.

Building a More Efficient Ruby Interpreter

Google Tech Talk
December 11, 2009

ABSTRACT

Presented by Hongli Lai and Ninh Bui from Phusion.

The Ruby programming language powers a significant portion of today's websites and is still growing in popularity. However, its implementation is not as efficient as it could be, and in this talk we will explain how Ruby Enterprise Edition addresses some of these issues.

Ruby has a relatively high memory usage compared to e.g. C++, and we've found that this is partially caused by the fact that memory for program code is not shared between multiple interpreter instances as is possible in C++ programs. One way to battle this problem is by leveraging copy-on-write virtual memory semantics. However, Ruby's garbage collector hostile to this technique. We will explain how we've made the garbage collector copy-on-write friendly, how we've leveraged Linux kernel features during the development of this enhancement, how our Phusion Passenger web app deployment product leverages copy-on-write and how much memory one can save.

Another problem the fact that Ruby's userspace threading implementation severely degrades in performance in the face of large thread stacks. Several contributors have identified the source of this problem: Ruby copies the entire thread stack during a context switch. We will explain how they've identified this problem, what obstacles we've faced during the development of a patch and just how significant the improvement is.
