Patch pig_cassandra for setting ttl to cassandra data

Apache pig provides a platform for analyzing very large data set. With apache pig you can easily analyze your data from Cassandra. Apache pig compiles instruction to sequences of Map-Reduce programs which will run on Hadoop cluster. Cassandra source provides a simple pig script to run pig with Cassandra data. Cassandra also provides CassandraStorage class which will load and store data from Cassandra DB, this class will no built in support for storing data with TTL (time to live). In many cases you have to update a few columns or rows with ttl to delete later automatically from DB. For that, i have patched the CassandraStorage class and add the similar functionality. Here is the patch

You can build the Cassandra with the above patch and using it on your pig script as follows:
STORE updated INTO 'cassandra://audit/auditlog?ttl=86400' USING CassandraStorage();
Or you can use the new class named MyCassandraStorage as a pig UDF function. First you have to compile and archive the class in jar. Later you can define the class in your pig script and use as follows:
DEFINE ParseSmevMessage com.abc.pig.utils.MyCassandraStorage();
raw = LOAD 'cassandra://audit/auditlog' USING MyCassandraStorage();
filtered = FILTER raw BY  processed.$1=='N';
updated = FOREACH filtered GENERATE  key,TOTUPLE('processed','Y');
STORE updated INTO 'cassandra://audit/auditlog?ttl=86400' USING MyCassandraStorage();

Apache Ignite deep dive, SQL engine

Apache Ignite  is an open source memory-centric distributed database, caching and comput- ing platform. From the beginning, it was designed as an in-memory data grid for developing a high-performance software system. So, it’s core architecture design is slightly different from the traditional NoSQL databases, which can simplify building modern applications with a flexible data model and simpler high availability, high scalability.     Moreover, to understand how to design application with any databases or framework properly, you must understand the architecture of the database or framework itself. By getting a better idea of the system, you can solve different problems in your enterprise architecture landscape, can select a comprehensive database or framework that is appropriate for your application and get the maximum benefits from the system. In this article we are going to explore the Apache Ignite SQL engine.      Under the hood...

Quick start with In memory Data Grid, Apache Ignite

UP1: For complete quick start guide, see also the sample chapter of the book "High performance in-memory computing with Apache Ignite" here . Even you can find the sample examples from the GitHub repository . IMDG or In memory data grid is not an in-memory relational database, an NoSQL database or a relational database. It is a different breed of software datastore. The data model is distributed across many servers in a single location or across multiple locations. This distribution is known as a data fabric. This distributed model is known as a ‘shared nothing’ architecture. IMDG has following characteristics: All servers can be active in each site. All data is stored in the RAM of the servers. Servers can be added or removed non-disruptively, to increase the amount of RAM available. The data model is non-relational and is object-based.  Distributed applications written on the platform independent language. The data fabric is resilient, allowing non-disruptive au...
