Big Data Bellevue Meetup
May 19, 2022
Today, data engineering in modern enterprises has become increasingly more complex and resource-consuming, particularly because (1) the rich amount of organizational data is often distributed across data centers, cloud regions, or even cloud providers, and (2) the complexity of the big data stack has been quickly increasing over the past few years with an explosion in big-data analytics and machine-learning engines (like MapReduce, Hive, Spark, Presto, Tensorflow, PyTorch to name a few).
To address these challenges, it is critical to provide a single and logical namespace to federate different storage services, on-prem or cloud-native, to abstract away the data heterogeneity, while providing data locality to improve the computation performance. [Bin Fan] will share his observation and lessons learned in designing, architecting, and implementing such a system – Alluxio open-source project — since 2015.
Alluxio originated from UC Berkeley AMPLab (used to be called Tachyon) and was initially proposed as a daemon service to enable Spark to share RDDs across jobs for performance and fault tolerance. Today, it has become a general-purpose, high-performance, and highly available distributed file system to provide generic data service to abstract away complexity in data and I/O. Many companies and organizations today like Uber, Meta, Tencent, Tiktok, Shopee are using Alluxio in production, as a building block in their data platform to create a data abstraction and access layer. We will talk about the journey of this open source project, especially in its design challenges in tiered metadata storage (based on RocksDB), embedded state-replicate machine (based on RAFT) for HA, and evolution in RPC framework (based on gRPC) and etc.

In this talk, Ojus Save walks you through a demo of how to build AI applications on Zoom. This demo shows you an AI agent that receives transcript data from RTMS and then decides if it has to create action items based on the transcripts that are received.
In this talk, Sandeep Joshi, , Senior Manager at NVIDIA, shares how to accelerate the data access between GPU and storage for AI. Sandeep will dive into two options: CPU- initiated GPUDirect Storage and GPU-initiated SCADA.
Bin Fan, VP of Technology at Alluxio, introduces how Alluxio, a software layer transparently sits between application and S3 (or other object stores), provides sub-ms time to first byte (TTFB) solution, with up to 45x lower latency.
