Hadoop Mashups - Serving HDFS data in Yahoo Pipes, IFTTT recipe, Zapier zap

By Desk Editor


“Hadoop  is backend…it is for batch…it is for Google, Facebook … how does a web developer come in to picture…”
Lets dispel some perception… and demonstrate an architectural flow for pulling data from HDFS right into a Yahoo Pipe, IFTTT recipe or Zapier zap.

1- Setup Hadoop, HDFS with data coming in the nodes

2- Write the MapReduce algorithms to process the data you want

3- Setup Hive or HBase or Voldemort or your preferred DB/warehouse option depending on your interest.

4- Setup Struts/Spring based application in Eclipse/RAD/your preferred IDE with supported web server like WAS 7.0/JBoss

5- Write a program to fetch the data from Hive (or other variants mentioned in step 3 above), format it, render as RSS response and provide servlet to serve it back as response

        <property name="itemTitle" value="item title"/>
    </bean>


Sample xml file excerpt for RSS generation – use case: transaction data fetch

6- Deploy and host the .war on a public server

7- Mash up RSS feed in the pipe or recipe or zap.

 







Use case examples:
1-      Need a live index of words in documents uploaded by users
2-      Weather data served right from the Hadoop crunchers to AJAX renderers

Beyond NSA, the intelligence community has a big technology footprint

By Desk Editor
While all through the past few days the focus has been on NSA activities, the discussion has often veered around the technologies and products used by NSA. At the same time, a side discussion topic has been the larger technical ecosystem of intelligence units. CIA has been one of the more prolific users of Information Technology by its own admission. To that extent, CIA spinned off a venture capital firm In-Q-Tel in 1999 to invest in focused sector companies. Per Helen Coster of Fortune Magazine, In-Q-Tel (IQT) has been named “after the gadget-toting James Bond character Q”.
In-Q-Tel states on its website that “We design our strategic investments to accelerate product development and delivery for this ready-soon innovation, and specifically to help companies add capabilities needed by our customers in the Intelligence Community”. To that effect, it has made over 200 investments in early stage companies for propping up products. Being a not-for-profit group, unlike Private Venture capi…

Data deduplication tactics with HDFS and MapReduce

By Desk Editor
As the amount of data continues to grow exponentially, there has been increased focus on stored data reduction methods. Data compression, single instance store and data deduplication are among the common techniques employed for stored data reduction.
Deduplication often refers to elimination of redundant subfiles (also known as chunks, blocks, or extents). Unlike compression, data is not changed and eliminates storage capacity for identical data. Data deduplication offers significant advantage in terms of reduction in storage, network bandwidth and promises increased scalability.
From a simplistic use case perspective, we can see application in removing duplicates in Call Detail Record (CDR) for a Telecom carrier. Similarly, we may apply the technique to optimize on network traffic carrying the same data packets.
Some of the common methods for data deduplication in storage architecture include hashing, binary comparison and delta differencing. In this post, we focus on how MapReduce and…

Top Big Data Influencers of 2015

By Sachin Ghai
2015 was an exciting year for big data and hadoop ecosystem. We saw hadoop becoming an essential part of data management strategy of almost all major enterprise organizations. There is cut throat competition among IT vendors now to help realize the vision of data hub, data lake and data warehouse with Hadoop and Spark.
As part of its annual assessment of big data and hadoop ecosystem, HadoopSphere publishes a list of top big data influencers each year. The list is derived based on a scientific methodology which involves assessing various parameters in each category of influencers. HadoopSphere Top Big Data Influencers list reflects the people, products, organizations and portals that exercised the most influence on big data and ecosystem in a particular year. The influencers have been listed in the following categories:
