Who changed my data? Need for data governance and provenance in a streaming w...DataWorks Summit
Ā
Enterprises have dealt with data governance over the years, but it has been mostly around master data. With the advent of IoT/web/app streams everywhere in the ecosystem surrounding an enterprise, data-in-motion has become a strong force to reckon. Data-in-motion passes through several levels of transformations and augmentation before it becomes data-at-rest. Through this, it is pertinent to preserve the sanctity of such data or at least track the provenance through the various changes. This is very important for a lot of verticals where there are strong regulatory and compliance laws that exist around "who changed what."
This session will go into detail around some specific use cases of how data gets changed, how it can be tracked seamlessly and why this is important for certain verticals. This will be presented in two parts. The first part will cover the industry angle to this and its importance weighed in by several regulatory bodies. The second part will address the technology aspect of it and discuss how companies can leverage Apache Atlas and Ranger in conjunction with NiFi and Kafka to embrace data governance and provenance of their data streams.

Gain New Insights by Analyzing Machine Logs using Machine Data Analytics and BigInsights.
Half of Fortune 500 companies experience more than 80 hours of system down time annually. Spread evenly over a year, that amounts to approximately 13 minutes every day. As a consumer, the thought of online bank operations being inaccessible so frequently is disturbing. As a business owner, when systems go down, all processes come to a stop. Work in progress is destroyed and failure to meet SLAās and contractual obligations can result in expensive fees, adverse publicity, and loss of current and potential future customers. Ultimately the inability to provide a reliable and stable system results in loss of $$$ās. While the failure of these systems is inevitable, the ability to timely predict failures and intercept them before they occur is now a requirement.
A possible solution to the problem can be found is in the huge volumes of diagnostic big data generated at hardware, firmware, middleware, application, storage and management layers indicating failures or errors. Machine analysis and understanding of this data is becoming an important part of debugging, performance analysis, root cause analysis and business analysis. In addition to preventing outages, machine data analysis can also provide insights for fraud detection, customer retention and other important use cases.
