What is Big Data?
Data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using relational databases
The challenges include capture, curation, storage, search, sharing, transfer, analysis and visualization
Analysis of a single large set of related data allows correlations to be found
Can be used to identify trends, patterns and insights to make better decisions

What does a Data Scientist do?
• “It’s no longer hard to find the answer to a given question; the hard part is finding the right question. And as questions evolve, we gain better insight into our ecosystem and our business.”
-- Kevin Weil, Lead Analyst at Twitter
• A data scientist must have…
• Strong business acumen
• Modeling, statistics, analytics and math skills
• Ability to communicate findings, tell a story from the data, to both business and IT leaders
• Inquisitive: exploring, doing “what if?” analyses, questioning existing assumptions and processes to spot trends, patterns and hidden insight.
Computers are useless.
They can only give you answers.
– Pablo Picasso

How Target® Figured Out a Teen Girl Was Pregnant Before Her Father Did
• Every time you go shopping, you share intimate details about your consumption patterns with retailers.
• Target has figured out how to data-mine whether you have a baby on the way
• Looked at historical buying data for all the ladies who had signed up for Target baby registries
• Unscented soaps and lotions
• Calcium, magnesium and zinc supplements
• About 25 products help generate “pregnancy prediction” score and her “baby due date”
• Target sends coupons timed to very specific stages of her pregnancy
Source: http://www.forbes.com/sites/kashmirhill/2012/02/16/how-target-figured-out-a-teen-girl-was-pregnant-before-her-father-did/
“My daughter got this in the mail. She’s still in high school, and you’re sending her coupons for baby clothes and cribs?”
-- Angry father of teen girl
“I had a talk with my daughter,…She’s due in August. I owe you an apology.”
-- Same father, 3 days later

Data Warehouse
• The platform provides benefit as you move from an entry point to a second and third project
• Shared components and integration between systems lowers deployment costs
• Key points of leverage• Reuse text analytics across streams and
BigInsights
• Hadoop connectors between Streams and Information Integration
• Common integration, metadata and governance across all engines
• Accelerators built across multiple engines – common analytics, models, and visualization

Simplify your data warehouse
24
• Customer Need• Business users are hampered by the poor
performance of analytics of a general-purpose enterprise warehouse – queries take hours to run
• Enterprise data warehouse is encumbered by too much data for too many purposes
• Need to ingest huge volumes of structured data and run multiple concurrent deep analytic queries against it
• IT needs to reduce the cost of maintaining the data warehouse
• Value Statement• Speed and Simplicity for deep analytics
• 100s to 1000s users/second for operation analytics
• Customer examples• Catalina Marketing – executing 10x the amount
of predictive workloads with the same staff

Platform Symphony Integrates with Hadoop
• YARN uses a pluggable architecture for schedulers. • FIFO, Fair, and Capacity Schedulers implemented this way
• Symphony EGO is also implemented this way.
• Therefore, scheduler is completely transparent to YARN Applications.
• ISV Certification for Platform Symphony is not required.

Like other schedulers, queues and policies are defined in Platform Symphony EGO.

HDFS versus IBM Spectrum Scale™
Hadoop HDFS
HDFS NameNode HA added in version 2.0. NameNode HA in active/passive configuration
Difficulty to ingest data – special tools required
Lacking enterprise readiness
No single point of failure, distributed metadata in active/active configuration since
1998
Ingest data using policies for data placement
Versatile, Multi-purpose,Hybrid Storage (locality and shared)
Enterprise ready with support for advanced storage features (Encryption, DR, replication,
SW RAID etc)
Large block-sizes – poor support for small files Variable block sizes – suited to multiple types
of data and metadata access pattern
Scale compute and storage independently(Policy based ILM)
Compute and Storage tightly coupled –leading to very low CPU utilization
Single-purpose, Hadoop MapReduce only
POSIX file system – easy to use and manageNon-POSIX file system – obscure commands.
Does not support in-place updates.

IBM Spectrum Scale™ – File Placement Optimization

Internal, Direct-Attach
TCP/IP or RDMA Network
• Spectrum Scale avoids the need for a central namenode, a common failure point in HDFS
• Avoid long recovery times in the event of namenode failure
• Spectrum Scale can intermix FPO with standard NSD server and client nodes in the same cluster
• POSIX compliance which is key to avoid data islands.
• Robustness and performance at massive scale and maturity
File Placement Optimization (FPO)
Creates a “shared nothing” cluster similar to HDFS in Hadoop environments

“In this paper, we revisit the
debate on the need of a new non-
