Overview of this book

If you are a system or application developer interested in learning how to solve practical problems using the Hadoop framework, then this book is ideal for you. You are expected to be familiar with the Unix/Linux command-line interface and have some experience with the Java programming language. Familiarity with Hadoop would be a plus.

Chapter 4. Real-time Computation with Samza

The previous chapter discussed YARN, and frequently mentioned the breadth of computational models and processing frameworks outside of traditional batch-based MapReduce that it enables on the Hadoop platform. In this chapter and the next, we will explore two such projects in some depth, namely Apache Samza and Apache Spark. We chose these frameworks as they demonstrate the usage of stream and iterative processing and also provide interesting mechanisms to combine processing paradigms. In this chapter we will explore Samza and cover the following topics:

  • What Samza is and how it integrates with YARN and other projects such as Apache Kafka
  • How Samza provides a simple callback-based interface for stream processing
  • How Samza composes multiple stream processing jobs into more complex workflows
  • How Samza supports persistent local state within tasks and how this greatly enriches what it can enable
