By leveraging Alluxio, Mesos, Minio, and Spark we have created an end-to-end data processing solution that is performant, scalable, and cost optimal. We use Alluxio as the unified storage layer to connect disparate storage systems and bring memory performance, with Minio mounted as the under store to Alluxio to keep cold (infrequently accessed) data and to sync data to AWS S3. Apache Spark serves as the compute engine.
At Qunar, we have been running Alluxio in production for over 9 months, resulting in 15x speedup on average, and 300x speedup at peak service times. In addition, Alluxio’s unified namespace enables different applications and frameworks to easily interact with our data from different storage systems.
