Accelerating Hive with Alluxio on S3

Alluxio Community Office Hour *

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.

Four Different Ways to Write to Alluxio

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.

Accelerating Write-intensive Data Workloads on AWS S3

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.

Efficient Data Engineering with Apache Spark, Hive, and Alluxio on S3

Alluxio Meetup | Austin *

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!

“Zero-Copy” Hybrid Bursting with no App Changes

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.
