Discovering Streamsets Data Collector (Part 2)

Before moving on to the other planned posts for this series, an important update about the Data Collector. Two new versions (1.3.0 and 1.3.1) that solve some critical bugs and introduce new features have been released since the first post publishing.
This is a short list of the most significant benefits you get moving to the new releases:
  • No issue running the Data Collector as for https://issues.streamsets.com/browse/SDC-2657 The workaround for this issue was to downgrade to the release 1.2.1.0, this way missing an important new feature like the Groovy Evaluator processor.
  • The Hadoop FS and Local FS destination can now write files larger that 2 GB.
  • A MongoDB destination is now available (up to release 1.2.2.0 a MongoDB database could have been set as origin only).
  • Two new processors, Base64 Field Decoder and Base64 Field Encoder, have been implemented to work with Base64 binary data encoding/decoding.
Enjoy it!

Shipping and analysing MongoDB logs using the Streamsets Data Collector, ElasticSearch and Kibana

In order to show that the considerations done in my last post are general for any log shipping purpose, let's see now how the same process applies to a more real use case scenario: the log shipping and analysis of a MongoDB database logs. MongoDB logs pattern Starting from the release 3.0 (I am considering the release 3.2 for this post) the MongoDB logs come with the following pattern: <timestamp> <severity> <component> [<context>] <message> where:     timestamp is in iso8601-local format.     severity is the level associated to each log message. It is a single character field. Possible values are F (Fatal), E (Error), W (Warning), I (Informational) and D (Debug).     component is for a functional categorization of the log message. Please refer to the specific release of MongoDB you're using to know the full list of possible values.     context is the specific context for a me...

Load testing MongoDB using JMeter

Apache JMeter ( http://jmeter.apache.org/ ) added support for MongoDB since its 2.10 release. In this post I am referring to the latest JMeter release (2.13). A preliminary JMeter setup is needed before starting your first test plan for MongoDB. It uses Groovy as scripting reference language, so Groovy needs to be set up for our favorite load testing tool. Follow these steps to complete the set up: Download Groovy from the official website ( http://www.groovy-lang.org/download.html ). In this post I am referring to the Groovy release 2.4.4, but using later versions is fine. Copy the groovy-all-2.4.4.jar to the $JMETER_HOME/lib folder. Restart JMeter if it was running while adding the Groovy JAR file. Now you can start creating a test plan for MongoDB load testing. From the UI select the MongoDB template ( File -> Templates... ). The new test plan has a MongoDB Source Config element. Here you have to setup the connection details for the database to be tested: The Threa...

Turning Python Scripts into Working Web Apps Quickly with Streamlit

 I just realized that I am using Streamlit since almost one year now, posted about in Twitter or LinkedIn several times, but never wrote a blog post about it before. Communication in Data Science and Machine Learning is the key. Being able to showcase work in progress and share results with the business makes the difference. Verbal and non-verbal communication skills are important. Having some tool that could support you in this kind of conversation with a mixed audience that couldn't have a technical background or would like to hear in terms of results and business value would be of great help. I found that Streamlit fits well this scenario. Streamlit is an Open Source (Apache License 2.0) Python framework that turns data or ML scripts into shareable web apps in minutes (no kidding). Python only: no front‑end experience required. To start with Streamlit, just install it through pip (it is available in Anaconda too): pip install streamlit and you are ready to execute the working de...
