1. Scalable Realtime Analytics with declarative, SQL like, Complex Event Processing Scripts Srinath Perera Director, Research WSO2 Apache Member (@srinath_perera) srinath@wso2.com

2. (Batch) Analytics  Scientists are doing this for 25 year with MPI (1991) on special Hardware  Took off with Google’s MapReduce paper (2004), Apache Hadoop, Hive and whole eco system created.  It was successful, So we are here!!  But, processing takes time.

3. Value of Some Insights degrade Fast!  For some usecases ( e.g. stock markets, traffic, surveillance, patient monitoring) the value of insights degrade very quickly with time. -E.g. stock markets and speed of light  We need technology that can produce outputs fast -Static Queries, but need very fast output (Alerts, Realtime control) -Dynamic and Interactive Queries ( Data exploration)

4. History  Realtime Analytics are not new either!! -Active Databases (2000+) -Stream processing (Aurora, Borealis (2005+) and later Storm) -Distributed Streaming Operators (e.g. Database research topic around 2005) -CEP vendor roadmap ( from http://www.complexevents.com/2014/12/03/cep- tooling-market-survey-2014/ ) http://www.complexevents.com/2014/12/03/cep- tooling-market-survey-2014/

6. Realtime Analytics Tools

7. I. Stream Processing  Program a set of processors and wire them up, data flows though the graph.  A middleware framework handles data flow, distribution, and fault tolerance (e.g. Apache Storm, Samza)  Processors may be in the same machine or multiple machines

8. II. Complex Event Processing

9. III. Micro Batch  Process data in small batches, and then combine results for final results (e.g. Spark)  Works for simple aggregates, but tricky to do this for complex operations (e.g. Event Sequences)  Can do it with MapReduce as well if the deadlines are not too tight.

10. IV. OLAP Style In Memory Computing  Usually done to support interactive queries  Index data to make them them readily accessible so you can respond to queries fast. (e.g. Apache Drill)  Tools like Druid, VoltDB and SAP Hana can do this with all data in memory to make things really fast.

11. Realtime Analytics Patterns  Simple counting (e.g. failure count)  Counting with Windows ( e.g. failure count every hour)  Preprocessing: filtering, transformations (e.g. data cleanup)  Alerts, thresholds (e.g. Alarm on high temperature)  Data Correlation, Detect missing events, detecting erroneous data (e.g. detecting failed sensors)  Joining event streams (e.g. detect a hit on soccer ball)  Merge with data in a database, collect, update data conditionally

12. Realtime Analytics Patterns (contd.)  Detecting Event Sequence Patterns (e.g. small transaction followed by large transaction)  Tracking - follow some related entity’s state in space, time etc. (e.g. location of airline baggage, vehicle, tracking wild life)  Detect trends – Rise, turn, fall, Outliers, Complex trends like triple bottom etc., (e.g. algorithmic trading, SLA, load balancing)  Learning a Model (e.g. Predictive maintenance)  Predicting next value and corrective actions (e.g. automated car)

13. Apache Hive  A SQL like data processing language  Since many understand SQL, Hive made large scale data processing Big Data accessible to many  Expressive, short, and sweet.  Define core operations that covers 90% of problems  Lets experts dig in when they like!

14. (Batch Processing, Hive) (Realtime Analytics, X) What is X?

15. CEP = SQL for Realtime Analytics  Easy to follow from SQL  Expressive, short, and sweet.  Define core operations that covers 90% of problems  Lets experts dig in when they like! Lets look at the core operations.

16. Operators: Filters  Assume a temperature stream  Here weather:convertFtoC() is a user defined function. They are used to extend the language. define stream TempStream (ts long, temp double); from TempratureStream [weather:convertFtoC(temp) > 30.0) and roomNo != 2043] select roomNo, temp insert into HotRoomsStream ;  Usecases: -Alerts, thresholds (e.g. Alarm on high temperature) -Preprocessing: filtering, transformations (e.g. data cleanup)

17. Operators: Windows and Aggregation  Support many window types -Batch Windows, Sliding windows, Custom windows  Usecases -Simple counting (e.g. failure count) -Counting with Windows ( e.g. failure count every hour) from TempratureStream#window.time(1 min) select roomNo, avg(temp) as avgTemp insert into HotRoomsStream ;

18. Operators: Patterns  Models a followed by relation: e.g. event A followed by event B  Very powerful tool for tracking and detecting patterns from every (a1 = TempratureStream) -> a2 = TempratureStream [temp > a1.temp + 5 ] within 1 day select a2.ts as ts, a2.temp – a1.temp as diff insert into HotDayAlertStream;  Usecases - Detecting Event Sequence Patterns -Tracking - Detect trends

19. Operators: Joins  Join two data streams based on a condition and windows  Usecases -Data Correlation, Detect missing events, detecting erroneous data -Joining event streams from TempStream[temp > 30.0]#window.time(1 min) as T join RegulatorStream[isOn == false]#window.length(1) as R on T.roomNo == R.roomNo select T.roomNo, R.deviceID, ‘start’ as action insert into RegulatorActionStream

20. Operators: Access Data from the Disk  Event tables allow users to map a database to a window and join a data stream with the window  Usecases -Merge with data in a database, collect, update data conditionally define stream TempStream (ts long, temp double); define table HistTempTable(day long, avgT double); from TempStream #window.length(1) join OldTempTable on getDayOfYear(ts) == HistTempTable.day && ts > avgT select ts, temp insert into PurchaseUserStream ;

21. Revisit Patterns  Merge with data in a database, collect, update data conditionally  Detecting Event Sequence Patterns  Detect trends  Learning a Model  Predicting next value and corrective actions  Simple counting  Counting with Windows  Preprocessing: filtering, transformations  Alerts, thresholds  Data Correlation, Detect missing events,  Joining event streams  Tracking

22. Predictive Analytics  Build models and use them with WSO2 CEP, BAM and ESB using upcoming WSO2 Machine Learner Product ( 2015 Q2)  Build model using R, export them as PMML, and use within WSO2 CEP  Call R Scripts from CEP queries  Regression and Anomaly Detection Operators in CEP

25. Great, Does it Scale?

26. Idea 1: Network of CEP Nodes  For scaling, we arrange CEP processing nodes in a graph like with stream processing.  The Graph can be implemented using an stream processing engine like Apache Storm

27. Idea II: Compile SQL like Queries to a Network of CEP Nodes from TempStream[temp > 33] insert into HighTempStream; from HighTempStream#window(1h) select max(temp)as max insert into HourlyMaxTempStream; 

28. How do We partition the Data to scale up the Analysis?  Lets follow MapReduce  Map Reduce does not scale itself, it asks users to break the problem to many small independent problems.

29. Idea III: Let the Users specify Parallelism  Language include parallel constructs: partitions, pipelines, distributed operators  Assign each partition to a different node, and partition the data accordingly define partition on TempStream.region { from TempStream[temp > 33] insert into HighTempStream; } from HighTempStream#window(1h) select max(temp)as max insert into HourlyMaxTempStream;

30. Handling Ordering  When the data processed in parallel, output might be generated out of order.  Due to lack of a global time, we cannot trigger windows and other time sensitive constructs  Solution: the current time needs to be propagated though the graph
