The next generation native Hadoop platform
Introduction to Apache Apex (incubating)
© 2015 DataTorrent2
What is Apex• Platform and framework to build scalable and fault-tolerant distributed applications
• Hadoop native• Build any custom logic in your application
• Unobtrusive API to facilitate distributed application development
• Runtime engine to ensure fault tolerance, scalability and data flow
• Process streaming or batch big data• High throughput and low latency
• Realtime applications

Applications on Apex• Distributed processing
• Application logic broken into components called operators that run in a distributed fashion across your cluster
• Natural programming model• Code as if you were writing normal Java logic• Maintain state in your application variables
• Scalable• Operators can be scaled up or down at runtime according to the load and SLA
• Fault tolerant• Automatically recover from node outages without having to reprocess from
beginning• State is preserved• Long running applications
• Operational insight – DataTorrent RTS• See how each operator is performing and even record data

Native Hadoop Integration
• YARN is the resource manager
• HDFS used for storing any persistent state

Application Development Model
A Stream is a sequence of data tuplesA 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

Dynamic Partitioning
• Partitioning change while application is runningᵒ Change number of partitions at runtime based on statsᵒ Determine initial number of partitions dynamically
• Kafka operators scale according to number of kafka partitionsᵒ Supports re-distribution of state when number of partitions changeᵒ API for custom scaler or partitioner

How tuples are partitioned• Tuple hashcode and mask used to determine destination
partitionᵒ Mask picks the last n bits of the hashcode of the tupleᵒ hashcode method can be overridden
• StreamCodec can be used to specify custom hashcode for tuplesᵒ Can also be used for specifying custom serialization
tuple: {Name, 24204842, San Jose}
Hashcode: 001010100010101
Mask (0x11)
Partition

Custom partitioning• Custom distribution of tuples
ᵒ E.g.. Broadcast
tuple:{Name, 24204842, San Jose}
Hashcode: 001010100010101
Mask (0x00)

Fault Tolerance• Operator state is checkpointed to a persistent store
ᵒ Automatically performed by engine, no additional work needed by operator
ᵒ In case of failure operators are restarted from checkpoint stateᵒ Frequency configurable per operatorᵒ Asynchronous and distributed by defaultᵒ Default store is HDFS
• Automatic detection and recovery of failed operatorsᵒ Heartbeat mechanism
• Buffering mechanism to ensure replay of data from recovered point so that there is no loss of data
• Application master state checkpointed
© 2015 DataTorrent18
Processing GuaranteesAtleast once• On recovery data will be replayed from a previous checkpoint
ᵒ Messages will not be lostᵒ Default mechanism and is suitable for most applications
• Can be used in conjunction with following mechanisms to achieve exactly-once behavior in fault recovery scenariosᵒ Transactions with meta information, Rewinding output, Feedback
from external entity, Idempotent operationsAtmost 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• At least once + state recovery + operator logic to achieve
end-to-end exactly once

Stream Locality• By default operators are deployed in containers (processes)
randomly on different nodes across the Hadoop cluster
• Custom locality for streamsᵒ Rack local: Data does not traverse network switchesᵒ Node local: Data is passed via loopback interface and frees up
network bandwidthᵒ Container local: Messages are passed via in memory queues
between operators and does not require serializationᵒ Thread local: Messages are passed between operators in a same
thread equivalent to calling a subsequent function on the message

Stream locality for placement of operators
Rack local – Distributed deployment
Node local – Data does not traverse NIC
Container local – Data doesn’t need to be serialized
Thread local – Operators run in same thread
