BIG DATA APPLICATION MEETUP @ GOOGLE
Google Cloud Dataproc is a popular managed on-demand service to run Spark, Presto and many other compute workloads. Alluxio, an open source data orchestration technology, helps speed up Dataproc workloads by providing a distributed caching layer within the Dataproc Cluster. In addition, Alluxio enables “Zero-copy” bursting allowing users to run compute workloads even on data that’s remote on-prem or another cloud. In this session, Dipti from Alluxio and Roderick from Google Cloud will share an overview of Alluxio and Google Dataproc and the benefits the two together bring. It will include a demo of initializing a Dataproc cluster with Alluxio to run workloads on remote data.
