This document discusses insights that can be gained from analyzing clickstream data collected from a company's customer knowledgebase and portal. It describes how clickstream data containing 61 million page views and 500,000 pages from 125,000 registered users can be processed and analyzed to build customer profiles, improve search and recommendations, and guide the selection of new knowledgebase topics. Potential applications include using customer profiles to aid sales teams, creating a recommendation system for the knowledgebase, and enhancing the customer portal search.

- 31. Customer Profiles • Dominant topics – JBoss – Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization – Hardware support – Gluster – Booting into rescue mode – Packages 31
- 32. Customer Profiles • Supporting topics – Logging – LDAP – Samba – High resource usage – File systems / LVM / block devices – Networking 32
- 33. Customer Profiles • JBoss and RHEV appear in combination with a number of other products • Some products only appear by themselves with supporting topics (logging, networking, filesystems) – OpenShift – Gluster 33
- 35. Malformed TSV Files • Gzip files need to be read sequentially • Tab-separated, no quoting (in theory!) • Escaped tabs and newlines within records • E.g., n or t • Improperly escaped tabs and newlines • E.g., t vs t • Extraneous unmatched quote marks • E.g., ‘some_user 35
- 36. Lessons Learned • Consider custom Hadoop input formats for tricky file formats • Verify everything – what works in general may not work for you – Stemming – Filtering most frequent words – K-Means vs LDA 36
- 37. Lessons Learned • K-Means – Improve accuracy: Multiple runs, more iterations • Watch out for memory leaks – Un-persist cached RDDs – Un-persist broadcasted variables • Parquet for performance 37
- 38. Potential Applications • Build customer profiles to aid sales teams • Recommendation system for knowledgebase • Improve customer portal search • Guide selection of new knowledgebase topics for content writers 38
