Real-Time Data Processing With Lambda Architecture
Data has evolved immensely in recent years, in type, volume and velocity. There are several frameworks to handle the big data applications. The project focuses on the Lambda Architecture proposed by Marz and its application to obtain real-time data processing. The architecture is a solution that unites the benefits of the batch and stream processing techniques. Data can be historically processed with high precision and involved algorithms without loss of short-term information, alerts and insights. Lambda Architecture has an ability to serve a wide range of use cases and workloads that withstands hardware and human mistakes. The layered architecture enhances loose coupling and flexibility in the system. This a huge benefit that allows understanding the trade-offs and application of various tools and technologies across the layers. There has been an advancement in the approach of building the LA due to improvements in the underlying tools. The project demonstrates a simplified architecture for the LA that is maintainable
The Family of MapReduce and Large Scale Data Processing Systems
In the last two decades, the continuous increase of computational power has
produced an overwhelming flow of data which has called for a paradigm shift in
the computing architecture and large scale data processing mechanisms.
MapReduce is a simple and powerful programming model that enables easy
development of scalable parallel applications to process vast amounts of data
on large clusters of commodity machines. It isolates the application from the
details of running a distributed program such as issues on data distribution,
scheduling and fault tolerance. However, the original implementation of the
MapReduce framework had some limitations that have been tackled by many
research efforts in several followup works after its introduction. This article
provides a comprehensive survey for a family of approaches and mechanisms of
large scale data processing mechanisms that have been implemented based on the
original idea of the MapReduce framework and are currently gaining a lot of
momentum in both research and industrial communities. We also cover a set of
introduced systems that have been implemented to provide declarative
programming interfaces on top of the MapReduce framework. In addition, we
review several large scale data processing systems that resemble some of the
ideas of the MapReduce framework for different purposes and application
scenarios. Finally, we discuss some of the future research directions for
implementing the next generation of MapReduce-like solutions.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1105.4252 by other author
