- 4. Apache Apex 4 • In-memory, distributed stream processing • Application logic broken into components (operators) that execute distributed in a cluster • Unobtrusive Java API to express (custom) logic • Maintain state and metrics in member variables • Windowing, event-time processing • Scalable, high throughput, low latency • Operators can be scaled up or down at runtime according to the load and SLA • Dynamic scaling (elasticity), compute locality • Fault tolerance & correctness • Automatically recover from node outages without having to reprocess from beginning • State is preserved, checkpointing, incremental recovery • End-to-end exactly-once • Operability • System and application metrics, record/visualize data • Dynamic changes, elasticity
- 5. Native Hadoop Integration 5 • YARN is the resource manager • HDFS for storing persistent state
- 6. Application Development Model 6 A Stream is a sequence of data tuples A typical Operator takes one or more input streams, performs computations & emits one or more output streams • Each Operator is YOUR custom business logic in java, or built-in operator from our open source library • Operator has many instances that run in parallel and each instance is single-threaded Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) is made up of operators and streams Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) Operator Operator Operator Operator Operator Operator Tuple Output Stream Filtered Stream Enriched Stream Filtered Stream Enriched Stream

Java Streams API + Windowing 8 Next Release (3.5): Support for Windowing à la Apache Beam (incubating): @ApplicationAnnotation(name = "WordCountStreamingApiDemo") public class ApplicationWithStreamAPI implements StreamingApplication { @Override public void populateDAG(DAG dag, Configuration configuration) { String localFolder = "./src/test/resources/data"; ApexStream<String> stream = StreamFactory .fromFolder(localFolder) .flatMap(new Split()) .window(new WindowOption.GlobalWindow(), new TriggerOption().withEarlyFiringsAtEvery(Duration.millis(1000)).accumulatingFiredPanes()) .countByKey(new ConvertToKeyVal()).print(); stream.populateDag(dag); } }

- 12. State Checkpointing 12 Distributed, asynchronous Periodic callbacks No artificial latency Pluggable storage
- 13. Fault Tolerance 13 • Operator state is checkpointed to persistent store ᵒ Automatically performed by engine, no additional coding needed ᵒ Asynchronous and distributed ᵒ In case of failure operators are restarted from checkpoint state • Automatic detection and recovery of failed containers ᵒ Heartbeat mechanism ᵒ YARN process status notification • Buffering to enable replay of data from recovered point ᵒ Fast, incremental recovery, spike handling • Application master state checkpointed ᵒ Snapshot of physical (and logical) plan ᵒ Execution layer change log
- 14. • In-memory PubSub • Stores results emitted by operator until committed • Handles backpressure / spillover to local disk • Ordering, idempotency Operator 1 Container 1 Buffer Server Node 1 Operator 2 Container 2 Node 2 Buffer Server 14

- 16. Processing Guarantees 16 At-least-once • On recovery data will be replayed from a previous checkpoint ᵒ No messages lost ᵒ Default, suitable for most applications • Can be used to ensure data is written once to store ᵒ Transactions with meta information, Rewinding output, Feedback from external entity, Idempotent operations At-most-once • On recovery the latest data is made available to operator ᵒ Useful in use cases where some data loss is acceptable and latest data is sufficient Exactly-once ᵒ At-least-once + idempotency + transactional mechanisms (operator logic) to achieve end-to-end exactly once behavior
- 17. End-to-End Exactly Once 17 • Important when writing to external systems • Data should not be duplicated or lost in the external system in case of application failures • Common external systems ᵒ Databases ᵒ Files ᵒ Message queues • Exactly-once = at-least-once + idempotency + consistent state • Data duplication must be avoided when data is replayed from checkpoint ᵒ Operators implement the logic dependent on the external system ᵒ Platform provides checkpointing and repeatable windowing

- 21. How dynamic partitioning works 21 • Partitioning decision (yes/no) by trigger (StatsListener) ᵒ Pluggable component, can use any system or custom metric ᵒ Externally driven partitioning example: KafkaInputOperator • Stateful! ᵒ Uses checkpointed state ᵒ Ability to transfer state from old to new partitions (partitioner, customizable) ᵒ Steps: • Call partitioner • Modify physical plan, rewrite checkpoints as needed • Undeploy old partitions from execution layer • Release/request container resources • Deploy new partitions (from rewritten checkpoint) ᵒ No loss of data (buffered) ᵒ Incremental operation, partitions that don’t change continue processing • API: Partitioner interface
- 22. Compute Locality 22 • By default operators are deployed in containers (processes) on different nodes across the Hadoop cluster • Locality options for streams ᵒ RACK_LOCAL: Data does not traverse network switches ᵒ NODE_LOCAL: Data transfer via loopback interface, frees up network bandwidth ᵒ CONTAINER_LOCAL: Data transfer via in memory queues between operators, does not require serialization ᵒ THREAD_LOCAL: Data passed through call stack, operators share thread • Host Locality ᵒ Operators can be deployed on specific hosts • New in 3.4.0: (Anti-)Affinity (APEXCORE-10) ᵒ Ability to express relative deployment without specifying a host
