A data marketplace case study with the blockchain and advanced multitenant Hadoop in a smart open data platform
Location: 1A 21/22 Level: Intermediate
Secondary topics:  Blockchain and decentralization, Data preparation, governance and privacy
Minh Chau Nguyen (ETRI), Heesun Won (ETRI)
Average rating: **...
(2.20, 5 ratings)
Minh Chau Nguyen and Heesun Won explain how to implement analytics services in data marketplace systems on a single Hadoop cluster across distributed data centers. The solution extends the overall architecture of the Hadoop ecosystem with the blockchain so that multiple tenants and authorized third parties can securely access data while still maintaining privacy, scalability, and reliability.

What's the Hadoop-la about Kubernetes?
Location: 1E 09 Level: Advanced
Anant Chintamaneni (BlueData), Nanda Vijaydev (BlueData)
Average rating: *****
(5.00, 1 rating)
Kubernetes (K8s)—the open source container orchestration system for modern big data workloads—is increasingly popular. While the promised land is a unified platform for cloud-native stateless and stateful data services, stateful, multiservice big data cluster orchestration brings unique challenges. Anant Chintamaneni and Nanda Vijaydev outline the considerations for big data services for K8s. Read more.

Progress for big data in Kubernetes
Location: 1A 23/24 Level: Advanced
Ted Dunning (MapR, now part of HPE)
Average rating: ****.
(4.00, 4 ratings)
Stateful containers are a well-known anti-pattern, but the standard solution—managing state in a separate storage tier—is costly and complex. Recent developments have changed things dramatically for the better. In particular, you can now manage a high-performance software-defined-storage tier entirely in Kubernetes. Ted Dunning describes what's new and how it makes big data easier on Kubernetes. Read more.
