HI Palle, I am a beginner in Flink. However, I can say something about your other questions: 1. It is better to use Spark to create aggregate views. It is a lot faster than MR. You could use either batch or streaming mode in spark based on your needs. 2. If your aggregate data is in tabular format, you could store it in Hive. 3. For your live model, you could use either spark streaming (micro batches) or use Storm (process individual tuples). It is easy to put business logic in storm bolts to work on each tuple. 4. But please take care of latency (and other issues) when accessing aggregate data from live model. Your model should be able to handle latencies (from aggregate data access) and not create a backlog of streaming data that may lead to Storm failing the tuple.
Hope this helps. Best regards / Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Sincères salutations M.

We are putting together some BigData components for handling a large amount of incoming data from different log files and perform some analysis on the data. All data being fed into the system will go into HDFS. We plan on using Logstash, Kafka and Flink for bringing data from the log files and into HDFS. All our data located in HDFS we will designate as our historic data and we will use MapReduce (probably Flink, but could also be Hadoop) to create some aggregate views of the historic data. These views we will locate probably in HBase or MongoDB. These views of the historic data (also called batch views in the Lambda Architecture if any of you are familiar with that) we will use from the live model in the system. The live model is also being fed with the same data (through Kafka) and when the live model detects a certain value in the incoming data, it will perform some analysis using the views in HBase/MongoDB of the historic data. Now, could anyone share some knowledge regarding where it would be possible to implement such a live model given the components we plan on using? Apart from the business logic that will perform the analysis, our live model will at all times also contain a java object structure of maybe 5-10 java collections (maps, lists) containing approx 5 mio objects. So, where is it possible to implement our live model? Can we do this in Flink? Can we do this with another component within the Hadoop Big Data ecosystem?
