Data value at scale requires technology choices;• often prioritising data read traversal over operational
characteristics of create/update/delete
• embracing hybrid data platforms with varied technology partners over homogenous estates
• establishing alternative skillsets, augmented with entrenched languages, trusting cloud over maintenance
• following robust engineering processes to provide rigour in a deterministic world

Bravery leads to rewards;• the winners will have data which shows them that they’ve
won
• the commoditised query turns energy sucking data silos into profit centres
• new data traversal mechanisms lead to new connotative data expression
• everything you already know is relevant and valid; the constraints on how it is applied are not

Most developers have heard of Big Data. I’m going to show how Microsoft are increasingly relevant in this space.
My talk is about architecture and approach. Note we’re talking Big Data and not strictly Data Science.
But it’s always worth context so lets start with the history.
WHAT’S A DATA SCIENTISTS FAVOURITE LANGUAGE?
![Page 6: Data Liberty](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/568163bd550346895dd4d85c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
IBM have been a leader in Big Data for years.

We’re not as great as we’d hope; we’re often still bound by our ability to marshal our IO.
Just as the speed of loading punchcards was historically a limiting factor, we are now limited by our capacity to ingest data on individual machines.
This leads to ideas such as DFS and data locality.
![Page 8: Data Liberty](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/568163bd550346895dd4d85c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

During the evolution of data we eventually moved to client/server and this was a big step up from dBase et al of the time.
Fundamentally however, the tabular structured nature of data poses many changes; not least the long term effects of normalisation which trade off effective storage in the short term with long term offset compute which is required to reconstruct sets.
This eventually leads to such ideas as NoSQL document and entity stores.
![Page 10: Data Liberty](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/568163bd550346895dd4d85c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Modelling of data provides a consistent challenge. Our world is highly connected and our brains are effective connectors of data. Real world data fits poorly into highly structured data sets.
This leads to semi-structured and unstructured data formats and data queryability through relationship traversal
![Page 12: Data Liberty](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/568163bd550346895dd4d85c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The technologies shown today are primarily written in non-.net and non-Microsoft languages and frameworks. Every time we do this, I’ll show examples ONLY in the .net and Microsoft stacks.
There are obviously challenges beyond language to running the alternative stacks; but remember in the Cloud you aren’t responsible for tuning a Linux cluster which has been running for 5 years. You should provision for a duration that is bounded by the likelihood of the cluster requiring routine maintenance.

In Windows Azure this is known as HDInsight.
Hadoop – KEY FACTS

Hadoop is O(n)It exhibits linear performance; when the dataset doubles, the time taken to execute the algorithm doubles.

MongoDB Key Facts• General Purpose Operational Database• Real-time updates, ad-hoc queries and batch processing• Maps nicely with popular programming models e.g. .NET• Schema-free documents – lightweight and quick to get up and running
• High Performance• Embedding documents – no expensive joins across tables• Indexes allow query optimization• High-speed saving of data (writes)
• High Availability• Built in replication• Built in failover
• Easy Scalability• “Sharding” allows easily spreading data across multiple databases• Replicated data can be spread throughout the cluster
![Page 29: Data Liberty](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/568163bd550346895dd4d85c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
MongoDB is O(log n)It exhibits logarithmic performance; when the dataset doubles, the time taken to execute the algorithm increases by a fixed amount
![Page 30: Data Liberty](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/568163bd550346895dd4d85c/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Strengths of MongoDBLow barrier to entryUses well-known .NET technologies e.g. LINQGood migration path from SQL-style development
Good fit for .NET developers
Works well as operational data storeBatch processing capability for map reduceFlexible
Massively scalable with well-defined replication modelSelf-managing – easily add new nodesHigh performance writes and eventually consistent reads
Designed for scalability
Database is free to use (tooling is not!)Popular, so a relatively large communityLow cost

C# implementationsIf your data is regularly structured, you can use domain classes:
public class Book { public string Author { get; set; } public string Title { get; set; } }// "entities" is the name of the collection
var books = database.GetCollection<Entity>("books"); Book book = new Book
{ Author = "Ernest Hemingway", Title = "For Whom the Bell Tolls" }; books.Insert(book);

C# implementationsIf your data is irregularly structured or semi-structured, you can use a BSON object model:
BsonDocument person = new BsonDocument { { "name", "John Doe" }, { "address", new BsonDocument { { "street", "123 Main St." }, { "city", "Centerville" }, { "state", "PA" }, { "zip", 12345} }}};var people = database.GetCollection<BsonDocument>("people");people.Insert(person);

Graph Databases, Neo4j KEY FACTSOpen Source; Neotechnologies
Java
Runs equally well on Windows or Linux. In Windows Azure there are VMDepot images able to be deployed in a few simple steps. Additionally the Azure Linux VMs are a good fit for this database engine.
There is an Open Source .net SDK available through Nuget and actively maintained primarily by an Australian company, Readify.
![Page 36: Data Liberty](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/568163bd550346895dd4d85c/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Neo4j is O(1)It exhibits constant-time performance; that is, the algorithm takes the same time to execute irrespective of the size of the dataset.
![Page 37: Data Liberty](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/568163bd550346895dd4d85c/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
How O(1)?• Graphs don’t have tables. They don’t have collections.• They have nodes and relationships.
• Rather than having to select out a whole table, we can identify a point on the graph• A start point
• Follow the traversal of relationships from that point.

Graph Database Wins• Modelled domains match cognitive processes
• Optimised for traversal of relationships allow complex and “social” queries to emerge• LIKES of FRIENDS of COLLEAGUES
• O(1) performance characteristics due to ability to START queries at arbitrary graph points.
