Velociraptor – The Next Generation of RaptorX – Vladimir Rodionov, Carrot Cache

Vladimir Rodionov, founder of Carrot Cache will present the Velociraptor – the next evolution of PrestoDB hierarchical caching framework RaptorX. Velociraptor enables efficient data and meta-data caching well beyond RaptorX limits in terms of number of data files (multi-billions), number of table partitions (multi-millions) and number of table columns (multi-thousands). Velociraptor replaces all five RaptorX caches (Hive meta-data, file list, query result fragments, ORC/Parquet meta-data and data I/O) with a scalable solution, based on Carrot Cache, which does not pollute JVM heap memory, does not affect Java Garbage Collector, keeps all data and meta-data off Java heap memory or on disk and can scale well beyond server’s physical RAM limit. Velociraptor supports server restart, by quickly saving and loading data to/from disk for automatic cache warm up.

Headless BI Architecture and Trade-offs – Pavel Tiunov, Cube Dev

There has been a proliferation of tools in different categories of the modern data stack. This talk will focus on the Headless BI category and Cube’s implementation of Headless BI. Headless BI injects a component between data warehouses and other data sources and tools on the other side of the stack (e.g. CDP, data exploration tools, custom data apps, etc.). This new component encapsulates several critical functions like data modeling, access control, and aggregate awareness while deliberately omitting others, like data visualization and presentation. We’ll explore: – Keeping data models separate from data sources and not substituting data modeling with mere data transformation. – Managing access control centrally, aggregate awareness, and caching in a separate layer upstack from data consumers. – Removing data presentation features and embracing data accessibility via a set of APIs.
