Get Apache Wayang ready to test within 5 minutes

Listen:

Hey followers, I often get ask how to get Apache Wayang (https://wayang.apache.org) up and running without having a full big data processing system behind. We heard you, we built a full fledged docker container, called BDE (Blossom Development Environment), which is basically Wayang. Here's the repo: https://github.com/databloom-ai/BDE

I made a short screencast how to get it running with Docker on OSX, and we also have made two hands-on videos to explain the first steps. Let's start with the basics - Docker. Get the whole platform with:

docker pull ghcr.io/databloom-ai/bde:main


At the end the Jupyter notebook address is shown, control-click on it (OS X); the browser should open and login you automatically:




Voila - done. You have now a full working Wayang environment, we prepared three notebooks to make it more easy to dive into. Watch our development tutorial video (part 1) to get a better understanding what Wayang can do, and what not. Click the video below:

Deal with corrupted messages in Apache Kafka

Under some strange circumstances it can happen that a message in a Kafka topic is corrupted. This happens often by using 3rd party frameworks together with Kafka. Additionally, Kafka < 0.9 has no lock at Log.read() at the consumer read level, but has a lock on Log.write(). This can cause a rare race condition, as described in KAKFA-2477 [1]. Probably a log entry looks like: 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 every consumer in Zookeeper. To read out the offsets, Kafka provides handy tools [2]. But also zkCli.sh can be used, 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 possibility to get this inform

Hive query shows ERROR "too many counters"

A hive job face the odd " Too many counters:"  like Ended Job = job_xxxxxx with exception 'org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.counters.LimitExceededException(Too many counters: 201 max=200)' FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.MapRedTask Intercepting System.exit(1) These happens when operators are used in queries ( Hive Operators ). Hive creates 4 counters per operator, max upto 1000, plus a few additional counters like file read/write, partitions and tables. Hence the number of counter required is going to be dependent upon the query.  To avoid such exception, configure " mapreduce.job.counters.max " in mapreduce-site.xml to a value above 1000. Hive will fail when he is hitting the 1k counts, but other MR jobs not. A number around 1120 should be a good choice. Using " EXPLAIN EXTENDED " and " grep -ri operators | wc -l " print out the used numbers of operators. Use this value to tweak the MR s

Life hacks for your startup with OpenAI and Bard prompts

OpenAI and Bard   are the most used GenAI tools today; the first one has a massive Microsoft investment, and the other one is an experiment from Google. But did you know that you can also use them to optimize and hack your startup?  For startups, reating pitch scripts, sales emails, and elevator pitches with one (or both) of them helps you not only save time but also validate your marketing and wording.
