“Zero-Copy” Hybrid Cloud for Data Analytics – Strategy, Architecture and Benchmark Report

This whitepaper details how to leverage a public cloud, such as Amazon AWS, Google GCP, or Microsoft Azure to scale analytic workloads directly on data on-premises without copying and synchronizing the data into the cloud. We will show an example of what it might look like to run on-demand Presto and Hive with Alluxio in the public cloud using on-prem HDFS. We will also show how to set up and execute performance benchmarks in two geographically dispersed Amazon EMR clusters along with a summary of our findings.

Alluxio Open Office Hour

Open Online Office Hour *

This is a casual online video chat where all attendees are welcome to bring your own questions. Our host Bin will have suggested topics, such as the top challenges around leveraging popular compute frameworks including Presto and Spark to access remote data, and the latest developments in Alluxio open source such as Alluxio Catalog Services.

Optimizing Query Performance by Decoupling Presto and Hive Data Warehouse

Ideally, Presto would access data independently from how the data was originally stored or managed. Alluxio, as a data orchestration layer provides the physical data independence, for Presto to interact with the data more efficiently. In addition to caching for IO acceleration, Alluxio also provides a catalog service to abstract the metadata in the Hive Metastore, and transformations to expose the data in compute-optimized way. In this talk, we describe some of the challenges of using Presto with Hive, and introduce Alluxio data orchestration for solving those challenges.

Burst Presto & Spark workloads to AWS EMR with no data copies

Community Online Office Hour *

In this talk, we will show you 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.

Running Presto with Alluxio on Amazon EMR

Many organizations are leveraging EMR to run big data analytics on public cloud. However, reading and writing data to S3 directly can result in slow and inconsistent performance. Alluxio is a data orchestration layer for the cloud, and in this use case it caches data for S3, ensuring high and predictable performance as well as reduced network traffic.
