How To Configure Elasticsearch on Hadoop with HDP. Elasticsearch’s engine integrates with Hortonworks Data Platform 2.0 and YARN to provide real-time search and access to information in Hadoop.

How To Configure Elasticsearch on Hadoop with HDP

See it in action: register for the Hortonworks and Elasticsearch webinar on March 5th 2014 at 10 am PST/1pm EST to see the demo and an outline for best practices when integrating Elasticsearch and HDP 2.0 to extract maximum insights from your data. Click here to register for this exciting and informative webinar! Try it yourself: Get started with this tutorial using Elasticsearch and Hortonworks Data Platform, or Hortonworks Sandbox to access server logs in Kibana using Apache Flume for ingestion. Architecture Following diagram depicts the proposed architecture to index the logs in near real-time into Elasticsearch and also save to Hadoop for long-term batch analytics. Components Elasticsearch Elasticsearch is a search engine that can index new documents in near real-time and make them immediately available for querying.

Storm. ZooKeeper. Kafka. Avro™ 1.7.6 Specification. Introduction This document defines Apache Avro.

Avro™ 1.7.6 Specification

It is intended to be the authoritative specification. Implementations of Avro must adhere to this document. Schema Declaration A Schema is represented in JSON by one of: Primitive Types The set of primitive type names is: null: no value boolean: a binary value int: 32-bit signed integer long: 64-bit signed integer float: single precision (32-bit) IEEE 754 floating-point number double: double precision (64-bit) IEEE 754 floating-point number bytes: sequence of 8-bit unsigned bytes string: unicode character sequence Primitive types have no specified attributes. Primitive type names are also defined type names. Complex Types Avro supports six kinds of complex types: records, enums, arrays, maps, unions and fixed. Records Records use the type name "record" and support three attributes: For example, a linked-list of 64-bit values may be defined with: Enums Enums use the type name "enum" and support the following attributes: Arrays Maps Unions Fixed Names Aliases.

The Log: What every software engineer should know about real-time data's unifying abstraction

We were just beginning to run up against the limits of our monolithic, centralized database and needed to start the transition to a portfolio of specialized distributed systems. This has been an interesting experience: we built, deployed, and run to this day a distributed graph database, a distributed search backend, a Hadoop installation, and a first and second generation key-value store. One of the most useful things I learned in all this was that many of the things we were building had a very simple concept at their heart: the log. Sometimes called write-ahead logs or commit logs or transaction logs, logs have been around almost as long as computers and are at the heart of many distributed data systems and real-time application architectures.

Part One: What Is a Log? A log is perhaps the simplest possible storage abstraction. Records are appended to the end of the log, and reads proceed left-to-right. What's next. Samza - Background. Background This page provides some background about stream processing, describes what Samza is, and why it was built.

What is messaging? Messaging systems are a popular way of implementing near-realtime asynchronous computation. Messages can be added to a message queue (ActiveMQ, RabbitMQ), pub-sub system (Kestrel, Kafka), or log aggregation system (Flume, Scribe) when something happens. Downstream consumers read messages from these systems, and process them or take actions based on the message contents. Suppose you have a website, and every time someone loads a page, you send a "user viewed page" event to a messaging system. Store the message in Hadoop for future analysisCount page views and update a dashboardTrigger an alert if a page view failsSend an email notification to another userJoin the page view event with the user's profile, and send the message back to the messaging system A messaging system lets you decouple all of this work from the actual web page serving.
