See you at the Big Things Conference 2019 in Madrid on Wednesday or Thursday!

I hope you are going to attend the 8th edition of Big Things 2019, the data and AI conference which will happen in Madrid (Spain) on November 20th and 21st. This conference started in 2012 and this year changed its name from Big Data Spain to Big Things, as it became focused not only on Big Data, but also on whatever is related to AI.
Among the speakers this year there will be big names such as Cassie Kozyrkov, Alberto Cairo, Jesse Anderson, Michael Armbrust, Suneel Marthi, Paco Nathan and many others.
My talk will be on Thursday 21st at 1:55 PM local time. I am going to give an update on importing and re-training Keras/TensorFlow models in DL4J and Apache Spark. It is a follow-up of some of the topics covered in my book, considering changes related to new releases of DL4J, Keras and TensorFlow since it has been published in January this year.



Please stop by if you are going to attend my talk and the conference. I really appreciated the conversations about Deep Learning I had with all those people who got in touch with me in person at the Big Data Moscow and Spark+AI Summit Amsterdam. Networking is the greatest value when attending conferences.

Streamsets Data Collector log shipping and analysis using ElasticSearch, Kibana and... the Streamsets Data Collector

One common use case scenario for the Streamsets Data Collector (SDC) is the log shipping to some system, like ElasticSearch, for real-time analysis. To build a pipeline for this particular purpose in SDC is really simple and fast and doesn't require coding at all. For this quick tutorial I will use the SDC logs as example. The log data will be shipped to Elasticsearch and then visualized through a Kibana dashboard. Basic knowledge of SDC, Elasticsearch and Kibana is required for a better understanding of this post. These are the releases I am referring to for each system involved in this tutorial: JDK 8 Streamsets Data Collector 1.4.0 ElasticSearch 2.3.3 Kibana 4.5.1 Elasticsearch and Kibana installation You should have your Elasticsearch cluster installed and configured and a Kibana instance pointing to that cluster in order to go on with this tutorial. Please refer to the official documentation for these two products in order to complete their installation (if you do

Exporting InfluxDB data to a CVS file

Sometimes you would need to export a sample of the data from an InfluxDB table to a CSV file (for example to allow a data scientist to do some offline analysis using a tool like Jupyter, Zeppelin or Spark Notebook). It is possible to perform this operation through the influx command line client. This is the general syntax: sudo /usr/bin/influx -database '<database_name>' -host '<hostname>' -username '<username>'  -password '<password>' -execute 'select_statement' -format '<format>' > <file_path>/<file_name>.csv where the format could be csv , json or column . Example: sudo /usr/bin/influx -database 'telegraf' -host 'localhost' -username 'admin'  -password '123456789' -execute 'select * from mem' -format 'csv' > /home/googlielmo/influxdb-export/mem-export.csv

Using Rapids cuDF in a Colab notebook

During last Spark+AI Summit Europe 2019 I had a chance to attend a talk from Miguel Martinez  who was presenting Rapids , the new Open Source framework from NVIDIA for GPU accelerated end-to-end Data Science and Analytics. Fig. 1 - Overview of the Rapids eco-system Rapids is a suite of Open Source libraries: cuDF cuML cuGraph cuXFilter I enjoied the presentation and liked the idea of this initiative, so I wanted to start playing with the Rapids libraries in Python on Colab , starting from cuDF, but the first attempt came with an issue that I eventually solved. So in this post I am going to share how I fixed it, with the hope it would be useful to someone else running into the same blocker. I am assuming here you are already familiar with Google Colab. I am using Python 3.x as Python 2 isn't supported by Rapids. Once you have created a new notebook in Colab, you need to check if the runtime for it is set to use Python 3 and uses a GPU as hardware accelerator. You
