In this article, you will learn how to incorporate Alluxio to implement a unified distributed file system service as well as how to add extensions on top of Alluxio including customized authentication schemes and UDF (user-defined functions) on Alluxio files.
Hear about Bazaarvoice’s use case leveraging Apache Spark, Hive, and Alluxio on S3. And learn how to set up Hive with Alluxio so that Hive jobs can seamlessly read/write to S3.
Alluxio is a new layer on top of under storage systems that can not only improve raw I/O performance but also enables applications flexible options to read, write and manage files. This article focuses on describing different ways to write files to Alluxio, realizing the tradeoffs in performance, consistency, and also the level of fault tolerance compared to HDFS.
Alluxio is an open-source data orchestration system widely used to speed up data-intensive workloads in the cloud. Alluxio v2.0 introduced Replicated Async Write to allow users to complete writes to Alluxio file system and return quickly with high application performance, while still providing users with peace of mind that data will be persisted to the chosen under storage like S3 in the background.
This meetup presents an overview of the motivations and design decisions behind the major changes in the Alluxio 2.0 release, and Real-time Data Processing for Sales Attribution Analysis with Alluxio, Spark and Hive at VIPShop.

Welcome to the first event of the Cloud, Data, & Orchestration Austin Meetup! This meetup will feature two talks and an opportunity to engage with other data engineers, developers, and Alluxio users. Thanks to Bazaarvoice for hosting!
This whitepaper details how to leverage any public cloud (AWS, Google Cloud Platform, or Microsoft Azure) to scale analytics workloads directly on on-prem data without copying and synchronizing the data into the cloud. We will show an example of what it might look like to run on-demand Starburst Presto, Spark, and Hive with Alluxio in the public cloud using on-prem HDFS.
The paper also includes a real world case study on a leading hedge fund based in New York City, who deployed large clusters of Google Compute Engine VMs with Spark and Alluxio using on-prem HDFS as the underlying storage tier.

While single node caching may be sufficient for some users, for many it does not improve the performance meaningfully. By definition, a single node cache is limited to what that single node has accessed. Also, most frameworks with a single node cache typically do not leverage the SSD or HDD in the node. Alluxio is … Continued
