Paper Review: Prioritizing Attending Inwards Fast Information

This newspaper appeared inwards CIDR17 as well as is authored past times Peter Bailis, Edward Gan, Kexin Rong, as well as Sahaana Suri at Stanford InfoLab.

Human attending is scarce, information is abundant. The newspaper argues, this is how nosotros struggle back:

  • prioritize output: render fewer results
  • prioritize iteration: perform feedback driven evolution as well as laissez passer useful details as well as allow user to melody the analysis pipeline  
  • prioritize computation: aggressively filter as well as sample, tradeoff accuracy/completeness amongst surgical physical care for where it has depression impact, as well as role incremental information structures

The slogan for the organisation is: MacroBase is a search engine for fast data. MacroBase employs a customizable combination of high-performance streaming analytics operators for characteristic extraction, classification, as well as explanation.

MacroBase has a dataflow architecture (Storm, Spark Streaming, Heron). The newspaper argues it is amend to focus on what dataflow operators to furnish than to endeavor to pattern from-scratch a novel organisation (which won't move much faster/efficient than existing dataflow systems anyhow).


The architecture of MacroBase is simple:
ingestion&ETL -> characteristic transform -> classification -> information explanation

MacroBase focuses attending on dataflow operators to prioritize computation. This is done past times applying classic systems techniques: predicate pushdown, incremental memorization, partial materialization, cardinality estimation, guess enquiry processing (top K sketch).


Users are engaged at 3 dissimilar interface levels amongst MacroBase.
1) Basic: spider web based quest as well as click UI
2) Intermediate: custom pipeline configuring using Java
3) Advanced: custom dataflow operator pattern using Java/C++

Users highlight key surgical physical care for metrics (e.g., ability drain, latency) as well as metadata attributes (e.g., hostname, device ID), as well as MacroBase reports explanations of abnormal behavior. For example, MacroBase may written report that queries running on host five are 10 times to a greater extent than probable to sense high latency than the residue of the cluster.

As a broader theme, the newspaper argues at that spot is chance inwards marrying systems-oriented surgical physical care for optimization as well as the machine learning literature. Another big message from the newspaper is the importance of edifice combined as well as optimized end-to-end systems.

MacroBase is currently doing generally anomaly/outlier detection, as well as it is non doing whatever deeper machine learning training. There are plans to brand the organisation distributed. Given that it is based on a dataflow system, at that spot are many plausible ways to accomplish distribution of MacroBase.
