Flink Hackathon in Stockholm (October 8th / 9th)
 
|
Hi everyone!
I am happy to announce that we will be having two Hackathons on Apache Flink in Stockholm, on October 8th and 9th (some of us will be there on the 10th as well, so we can extend it even). The topics are: - Data Streaming applications on Apache Flink - Applications, Fault Tolerance, and general improvements with/to the experimental streaming API - Graph Processing - Brain storming and hacking on a prototype of the Graph processing DSL So far, we have as topic-leaders / participants: Streaming: - Marton Balassi - Gyula Fora - Paris Carbone - Hermann Gabor - Jonas Traub - Stephan Ewen Graph DSL - Vasia Kalavri - Martin Neumann - Stephan Ewen - Kostas Tzoumas Anyone who is interested, let us know! Greetings, Stephan |

I forgot to mention: The Hackthons will be located at SICS/KTH in Stockholm (https://www.google.de/maps/search/sics/@59.4040169,17.9537283,16z) Details on exact times and rooms will follow. On Tue, Sep 16, 2014 at 12:11 PM, Stephan Ewen <[hidden email]> wrote:

Hello, We are starting to work with Flink (since 0.5.2) for realising some use cases at INRIA. Both the topics suggested are definitely of immediate interest in our work. My initial question: Is this an event for "thinking giants" only? OR are small novices (like me) allowed to "watch in" ? (And of course, if you want active participation in brainstorming sessions, I can lend my mouth ...) Thanks for your consideration, Anirvan From: "Stephan Ewen" <[hidden email]> |

Hey Anirvan,
You are of course very welcome to join! This is definitely not an event only for thinking giants because than probably not many people would show up :) There are a lot of new things to play around with, and also there will be a lot of brainstorming regarding future development which you will probably find interesting if you are using Flink.

Anirvan: it is 100% OK to come to the any of the events you are interested in. Learning by osmosis is the best way to learn. Kostas On Thu, Sep 18, 2014 at 10:55 AM, Paris Carbone <[hidden email]> wrote: Hello, |

Kostas et al, Thanks for all your encouragement. I will definitely be interested to join in. I will check first with my supervisors at INRIA and confirm my presence. In any case, I look forward to hearing / reading the outcomes of the discussions. Best! Anirvan From: "Kostas Tzoumas" <[hidden email]> |

Hello Kostasm Paris and others, I have finally the green signal from our research director at INRIA for attending the Hackathon at KTH Stockholm. My goals in attending the hackathon are the following: Short-term - User perspective (right now): - Understanding clearly the technical "entry-points" for programming with Flink - Getting to know the right persons to ask the right questions (instead of thowing my issues to everyone). - Also, understanding the known issues what has been discussed, how they have resolved. - This is required for rolling-up our sleeves and getting into serious programming in our EIT-ICT project work. Mid-term - architectural perspective (in coming months): - Transcending to a better understanding of the architecture of the different components - The relative performances in the different areas - graph-based algorithms, machine learning, relational aspects. - This towards developing a clear and precise comparison with 2 other distributed frameworks - Hadoop (baseline) and Spark (similar). We plan to publish a conference article soon. Long-term - enhancement perspective (beginning of next year) - For the coming 2 years (starting next year), I will be involved in a core project for enhancing our Grid'5000 tailored to Big Data frameworks - Hadoop, Flink, Spark are the candidates. - Adapting a Software Defined Network, 1-click deployment and better virtualisation are also the key goals of this project. - As I know ( a little) of Flink, it will be the first candidate to thrust forward. - In this regard, we will be developing modules that can communicate with switches (through SDN controllers layer) to adapt job scheduling and network resources vice-versa. - I am also analysing and comparing speculative execution policies in the presence/absence of generic resource managers (YARN, Mesos) Given the above, I believe that our Grid'5000 project and the Flink evolution are Win-Win complementaries. All that said, I plan to observe and listen to most of your discussions, make friends and perhaps ask a few stupid questions to embarrass myself ... Have some baggage with strictly-typed langs (Java, C++) jack-of-all-trades with dynamic langs (Python, R - good for Big Data analytics) and recently learning to appreciate Scala (million thanks to Vasiliki and Aljoscha). Have read some fo your presentations and scientific papers. So won't go totally dumb. Feel free to place me in any gathering you feel, even at the corner of a room if required. I hope we can all live up to my presence in your Hackathon and benefit from there. And now the local Vikings, if you can help me to find me a reasonable accommodation in the city centre, I would feel very motivated to appreciate your beautiful city in this autumn weather. Thank you so much for your help and understanding! Anirvan From: "Kostas Tzoumas" <[hidden email]> |
