SAN MATEO, CA – September 15, 2021 - Alluxio, the developer of open source data orchestration software for large-scale analytics and AI/ML workloads, today announced that two of its senior engineers will lead a session at ApacheCon being held virtually on September 21-23, 2021.
Alluxio Session Details:
Session Title: “Alluxio Data Orchestration for Machine Learning” under the Big Data track
Session Time: Wednesday, September 22 at 15:50 UTC / 11:50 AM ET / 8:50 AM PT
Session Presenters: Alluxio’s Founding Engineer and VP of Open Source Bin Fan; and Software Engineer Lu Qiu
Session Overview: Alluxio’s capabilities as a Data Orchestration framework have encouraged users to onboard more of their data-driven applications to an Alluxio powered data access layer. Driven by strong interests from our open-source community, the core team of Alluxio started to re-design an efficient and transparent way for users to leverage data orchestration through the POSIX interface. This effort has a lot of progress with the collaboration with engineers from Microsoft, Alibaba and Tencent. Particularly, we have introduced a new JNI-based FUSE implementation to support POSIX data access, created a more efficient way to integrate Alluxio with FUSE service, as well as many improvements in relevant data operations like more efficient distributedLoad, optimizations on listing or calculating directories with a massive amount of files, which are common in model training. We will also share our engineering lessons and roadmap in future releases to support Machine Learning applications.
