The document discusses Vespa, an open-source platform for big data serving, focusing on low-latency computations, real-time actions, and automated data-driven decisions. It contrasts Vespa's capabilities with other technologies like Elasticsearch and traditional databases, emphasizing its efficiency in handling large data sets and machine learning integration. A case study on Zedge illustrates how Vespa simplifies and accelerates search and recommendation systems for mobile apps.
Big Data Serving with Vespa - Jon Bratseth, Distinguished Architect, Oath
- 1. Big data ° Real time The open big data serving engine; store, search, rank and organize big data at user serving time.
- 2. Big data maturity levels Latent Data is produced but not systematically leveraged Examples Credit card transaction data is stored for audit purposes. Movie streaming events are logged. Analysis Data is used to inform decisions made by humans Examples Statistics on credit card fraud are gathered to create policies for flagging fraudulent transactions. Lists of movies popular with various user segments are compiled to inform curated recommendation lists. Learning Data is used to learn automated decisions disconnected from direct action Examples Fraudulent credit card transactions are automatically flagged. Lists of movie recommendations per user segment are automatically generated. Acting Automated data-driven decisions are made in real time Examples Fraudulent credit card transactions are automatically blocked. Personalized movie recommendations are computed when needed by that user.
- 3. Closer look: Acting Acting Automated data-driven decisions are made in real time Examples Fraudulent credit card transactions are automatically blocked. Personalized movie recommendations are computed when needed by that user. Two types Decisions can be made by considering a single data item: Streaming, or stateless model evaluation Decisions need to consider many data items: Big data serving
- 4. Big data serving: What is required? Real-time actions: Find data and make inferences in tens of milliseconds. Realtime knowledge: Handle data changes at high continuous rates. Scalable: Handle large requests rates over big data sets. Always available: Recover from hardware failures without human intervention. Online evolvable: Change schemas, logic, models, hardware while online. Integrated: Data feeds from Hadoop, learned models from TensorFlow etc.
- 5. Introducing Vespa An open source platform for big data serving As Hadoop: Developed at Yahoo for search, now for all big data serving cases Open source: Visit the new site at http://vespa.ai Big data: Makes the Big Data Serving features available for everyone
- 6. Vespa at Oath / Yahoo Oath:Tumblr, TechCrunch, Huffington Post, Aol, Engadget, Gemini, News, Sports, Finance, Mail, etc. Hundreds of Vespa applications, … serving over a billion users … over 200.000 queries per second … over billions of content items
- 7. Vespa is A platform for low latency computations over large, evolving data sets • Search and selection over structured and unstructured data • Relevance scoring: NL features, advanced ML models, TensorFlow etc. • Query time organization and aggregation of matching data • Real-time writes at a high sustained rate • Live elastic and auto-recovering stateful content clusters • Processing logic container (Java) • Managed clusters: One to hundreds of nodes Typical use cases: text search, personalization / recommendation / targeting, real-time data display
- 8. Case study: Zedge The primary motivations for Zedge to use Vespa are 1) simplify search and recommender systems for Zedge Android and iOS apps, both for serving (reduce amount of custom code to maintain) and for processing/indexing (reduce need for big data jobs by calculating more on the fly with tensors in Vespa) 2) accelerate innovation for content discovery, e.g. easier to improve ranking with machine learning using Vespa in combination with Tensorflow than with e.g. our custom code recommender systems. An added bonus so far has been that more people understand both search and recommender systems due to the overall reduction in complexity of search and recommender systems - Zedge VP of Data, Amund Tveit 2017 Worldwide Download Leaders
- 9. Comparisons Vespa: Focus on big data serving: Large scale, efficient, ML models ElasticSearch: Focus on analytics: Log ingestion, visualization etc. Solr: Focused on enterprise search: Handling document formats etc. Relational databases: Transactions, hard to scale, no IR, no relevance NoSQl stores: Easier to scale, no transactions, no IR, no relevance Hadoop/Cloudera/ Hortonworks: Big Data, but not for serving

- 11. Analytics vs big data serving Analytics Big data serving Response time in low seconds Response time in low milliseconds Low query rate High query rate Time series, append only Random writes Down time, data loss acceptable HA, no data loss, online redistribution Massive data sets (trillions of docs) are cheap Massive data sets are more expensive Analytics GUI integration Machine learning integration VS
