Speedup Sqoop

Listen:

Sqoop [1] (sql to hadoop) lets easy connect RDBMS into a hadoop infrastructure. Newest plugin comes from Microsoft and let us connect MS-SQL Server and hadoop each together. As a cool feature you can create a jar-file from your job, its pretty easy, just here a line:

sqoop export --connect jdbc:<RDBMS>:thin:@<HOSTNAME>:<PORT>:<DB-NAME> --table<TABLENAME> --username<USERNAME> --password<PASSWORD> --export-dir <HDFS DIR WHICH CONTAINS DATA> --direct --fields-terminated-by '<TERMINATOR (Java)>' --package-name <JOBNAME>.<IDENTIFIER> --outdir <WHERE THE JAR SHOULD WRITTEN> --bindir <BIN_DIR>

After you fired up you'll find a jar-package in --outdir, unzip it and you find your java-code and the precompiled class,so you can start to tune them.

Now lets start the job again, but use the precompiled class:

sqoop export --connect jdbc:<RDBMS>:thin:@<HOSTNAME>:<PORT>:<DB-NAME> --table<TABLENAME> --username<USERNAME> --password<PASSWORD> --export-dir <HDFS DIR WHICH CONTAINS DATA> --direct --fields-terminated-by '<TERMINATOR (Java)>' --jar-file <PATH/TO/JAR> 
--class-name <JOBNAME>.<IDENTIFIER>.<CLASSNAME>

The step above let you increase the export of large datasets dramatically. So I speedup a export of 100k records from hdfs into a oracle-DB from 16sec into 8sec.

Beyond Ctrl+F - Use LLM's For PDF Analysis

PDFs are everywhere, seemingly indestructible, and present in our daily lives at all thinkable and unthinkable positions. We've all got mountains of them, and even companies shouting about "digital transformation" haven't managed to escape their clutches. Now, I'm a product guy, not a document management guru. But I started thinking: if PDFs are omnipresent in our existence, why not throw some cutting-edge AI at the problem? Maybe Large Language Models (LLMs) and Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) could be the answer. Don't get me wrong, PDF search indexes like Solr exist, but they're basically glorified Ctrl+F. They point you to the right file, but don't actually help you understand what's in it. And sure, Microsoft Fabric's got some fancy PDF Q&A stuff, but it's a complex beast with a hefty price tag. That's why I decided to experiment with LLMs and RAG. My idea? An intelligent knowledge base built on top of our existing P...

Deal with corrupted messages in Apache Kafka

Under some strange circumstances, it can happen that a message in a Kafka topic is corrupted. This often happens when using 3rd party frameworks with Kafka. In addition, Kafka < 0.9 does not have a lock on Log.read() at the consumer read level, but does have a lock on Log.write(). This can lead to a rare race condition as described in KAKFA-2477 [1]. A likely log entry looks like this: ERROR Error processing message, stopping consumer: (kafka.tools.ConsoleConsumer$) kafka.message.InvalidMessageException: Message is corrupt (stored crc = xxxxxxxxxx, computed crc = yyyyyyyyyy Kafka-Tools Kafka stores the offset of each consumer in Zookeeper. To read the offsets, Kafka provides handy tools [2]. But you can also use zkCli.sh, at least to display the consumer and the stored offsets. First we need to find the consumer for a topic (> Kafka 0.9): bin/kafka-consumer-groups.sh --zookeeper management01:2181 --describe --group test Prior to Kafka 0.9, the only way to get this in...

What Makes You The Number 1 Product Manager?

Amazon often does this thing where they start with the customer instead of just coming up with a product and then trying to figure out how to sell it. They call it " working backwards. " This strategy totally works for any product decisions, but it's especially important when they're making something new. The Press Release Exercise When it comes to launching new stuff, product managers usually start by writing a press release for customers. This press release is all about their pain points, how current solutions fall short, and how the new product is going to crush it. If the benefits don't get customers excited, the product manager needs to keep tweaking the press release until it sounds super awesome. It's way easier and cheaper to make changes to a press release than it is to change the product itself. Here’s a template I use to describe a new service or product: Main heade r: The product name anyone directly understands, like “Ultra-compact power charger” ...
