Characteristics, Types & Components of an Event Stream Processing System (Note that this is Part 1 of a three-part series on Event Stream Processing. Here are the links for Part 2 and Part 3.) Like many technology-related concepts, Streams or “Event Streaming” is understood in many different contexts and in many different ways such that expectations for Event Stream Processing (ESP) vary…
In this third article of the three-part series “Getting Started with Ignite Data Loading,” we continue to review data loading into Ignite tables and caches, but now we focus on using the Ignite Data Streamer facility to load data in large volume and with highest speed. Apache Ignite Data-Loading Facilities In the first article of this series, we discussed the facilities that are available to…
In this second article of the three-part “Getting Started with Ignite Data Loading” series, we continue our review of data loading into Ignite tables and caches. However, we now focus on Ignite CacheStore. CacheStore Load Facility Background Let’s review what was discussed about CacheStore in “Article 1: Loading Facilities.” The CacheStore interface of Ignite is the primary vehicle used in…
With this first part of “Getting Started with Ignite Data Loading” series we will review facilities available to developers, analysts and administrators for data loading with Apache Ignite. The subsequent two parts will walk through the two core Apache Ignite data loading techniques, the CacheStore and the Ignite Data Streamer. We are going to review these facilities in relation to specific…
Apache Ignite has the ability to scale horizontally, allowing you to handle the data generated by your applications and services. When your Apache Ignite cluster is using excessive memory, you can utilize horizontal scaling, which is one of the fundamental architectural capabilities of Ignite. While the common advice is to "throw more resources into the cluster," it is often not practical or…
Hadoop Data Lakes are an excellent choice for analytics and reporting at scale. Hadoop scales horizontally and cost-effectively and performs long-running operations spanning big data sets. GridGain, in its turn, enables real-time analytics across operational and historical data silos by offloading Hadoop for those operations that need to be completed in a matter of seconds or milliseconds. In…
Apache Ignite Deployment Patterns The Apache Ignite® in-memory computing platform comprises high-performance distributed, multi-tiered storage and computing facilities, plus a comprehensive set of APIs, libraries, and frameworks for consumption and solution delivery (all with a “memory first” paradigm). This rich set of capabilities enables one to configure and deploy Ignite in many diverse…
Note: This is the third and final post in the blog series: Continuous Machine Learning at Scale With Apache Ignite. For post 1 click here and for post 2 click here. In my first post, I introduced Apache® Ignite™ machine learning and explained how it delivers large-scale, distributed, machine-learning (ML) workloads. In my second post, I discussed the Apache Ignite model-building stages. The…
Note: This is post 2 in the blog series: Continuous Machine Learning at Scale with Apache Ignite. For post 1 click here and for post 3 click here. In my first post, I introduced the topic “continuous machine learning at scale with Apache Ignite,” which is how we members of the Apache® Ignite™ community describe machine learning (ML) architectures that offer the following advantages: Support…
Note: This is post 1 in the blog series: Continuous Machine Learning at Scale with Apache Ignite. For post 2 click here and for post 3 click here. This is my first blog post in a series that discusses continuous machine learning at scale with the Apache® Ignite™ machine learning (ML) library. In this article, I’ll introduce the notion of continuous machine learning at scale. Then, I’ll discuss…
