Realtime Big Data

In a post about architecting realtime big data systems, James Kinley splits things up into 3 layers: batch, serving and speed.



The architecture has merit even without the specific technologies he employs at each layer. Especially useful is the combining of batch and real-time views to a best-of-both-worlds query capability. Without an approach like this, a decision has to be made to either commit too soon or too late to what aggregation of data will be used.

It is a speed vs. flexibility problem. Commit too soon, and you will have a fast system that doesn't give you much query flexibility. Commit too late and you will have a flexible, slow system.

Kinley's architecture shows that you can have flexibility without giving up speed.

  1. With havin so much content do you ever run into any issues of
    plagorism or copyright infringement? My blog has a lot of exclusive content I've either created myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my permission. Do you know any solutions to help prevent content from being ripped off? I'd really appreciate it.
