This is part of our series of blog posts on recent enhancements to Impala. The entire collection is available here. Apache Impala is synonymous with high-performance processing of extremely large datasets, but what if our data isn’t huge? What if our queries are very selective? The reality is that data warehousing contains a large variety of queries both small and large; there are many circumstances where Impala queries small amounts of data; when end users are iterating on a use case, filterin
Building data pipelines isn’t always straightforward. The gap between the shiny “hello world” examples of demos and the gritty reality of messy data and imperfect formats is sometimes all too […].
As a data scientist, I always felt a missing link between my developed models and putting them in the production process. Yes, I can create a pipeline, write a model, get results, and interpret the results, but if I cannot scale it, these all will sit on my Jupiter notebooks. This thought led me to my data engineering adventure. I am confident that learning data engineering will make me a better data scientist.
Introduction If you are looking for a simple, cheap data pipeline to pull small amounts of data from a stable API and store it in a cloud storage, then serverless functions are a good choice. This post aims to answer questions like the ones shown below My company does not have the budget to purchase a tool like fivetran, What should I use to pull data from an API ?

How viewers are able to watch their favorite show on Netflix while the infrastructure self-recovers from a system failure By Manuel Correa , Arthur Gonigberg , and Daniel West Getting stuck in traffic is one of the most frustrating experiences for drivers around the world. Everyone slows to a crawl, sometimes for a minor issue or sometimes for no reason at all.
Summary The first stage of every good pipeline is to perform data integration. With the increasing pace of change and the need for up to date analytics the need to integrate that data in near real time is growing. With the improvements and increased variety of options for streaming data engines and improved tools for change data capture it is possible for data teams to make that goal a reality.

There’s a lot of noise surrounding the ability of AI agents to connect to your tools, systems and data. But building an AI application into a reliable, secure workflow agent isn’t as simple as plugging in an API. As an engineering leader, it can be challenging to make sense of this evolving landscape, but agent tooling provides such high value that it’s critical we figure out how to move forward.
Product-centric processes degrade customer experience. Insurers must insulate consumers from internal & regulatory-driven controls by placing them in the center of the customer experience.
Running analytics on real-time data is a challenge many data engineers are facing today. But not all analytics can be done in real time! Many are dependent on the volume of the data and the processing requirements. Even logic conditions are becoming a bottleneck. For example, think about join operations on huge tables with more […] The post 5 things you should know about Real-Time Analytics appeared first on A Cloud Guru.
Summary The core mission of data engineers is to provide the business with a way to ask and answer questions of their data.
