From Cache to Cash: Introducing NFT for Data Orchestration
Today, we are excited to announce the launch of Non-fungible token (NFT) as a new feature in our leading data orchestration platform.

With the collaboration between Meta (Facebook), Princeton University, and Alluxio, we have developed “Shadow Cache” – a lightweight Alluxio component to track the working set size and infinite cache hit ratio. Shadow cache can keep track of the working set size over the past window dynamically and is implemented by a series of bloom filters. Shadow cache is deployed in Meta (Facebook) Presto and is being leveraged to understand the system bottleneck and help with routing design decisions.
This blog shares the practice of using Alluxio and Spark to accelerate the auto data tagging system in WeRide, an autonomous driving technology company.
Alluxio is the data orchestration platform to unify data silos across heterogeneous environments. This is the last article in a series to give you the basics of Alluxio’s architecture and solution.
This is a tutorial to guide a newbie to complete a new-contributor task and become an open-source contributor of the Alluxio project.
This article highlights synergy between the two widely adopted open-source projects, Alluxio and Presto, and demonstrates how together they deliver a self-serve data architecture across clouds.
As data stewards and security teams provide broader access to their organization’s data lake environments, having a centralized way to manage fine-grained access policies becomes increasingly important. Alluxio can use Apache Ranger’s centralized access policies in two ways: 1) directly controlling access to virtual paths in the Alluxio virtual file system or 2) enforcing existing access policies for the HDFS under stores.
Running Presto with Alluxio is gaining popularity in the community. It avoids long latency reading data from remote storage by utilizing SSD or memory to cache hot dataset close to Presto workers. Presto supports hash-based soft affinity scheduling to enforce that only one or two copies of the same data are cached in the entire cluster, which improves cache efficiency by allowing more hot data cached locally. The current hashing algorithm used, however, does not work well when cluster size changes. This article introduces a new hashing algorithm for soft affinity scheduling, consistent hashing, to address this problem.
This blog will introduce how Tencent uses Prometheus and Grafana to set up monitoring system for Alluxio in 10 minutes.
