Hello,
I want to create a lib which generates features for potentially very
large datasets.
Each file 'F' of my dataset is composed of at least :
- an id ( string or int )
- a timestamp ( or a long value )
- a value ( int or string )
I want my tool to :
- compute aggregate function for many couple 'instants + duration'
===> FOR EXAMPLE :
===== compute for the instant 't = 2001-01-01' aggregate functions for
data between 't-1month and t' and 't-12months and t-9months' and this,
FOR EACH ID !
( aggregate function such as min/max/count/distinct/last/mode or user
defined )
My constraints :
- I don't want to compute aggregate for each tuple of 'F'
---> I want to provide a list of couples 'instants + duration' (
potentially large )
- My 'window' defined by the duration may be really large ( but may
contain only a few values... )
- I may have many id...
- I may have many timestamps...
========================================================
========================================================
========================================================
Let me describe this with some kind of example to see if SPARK ( SPARK
STREAMING ? ) may help me to do that :
Let's imagine that I have all my data in a DB or a file with the
following columns :
id | timestamp(ms) | value
A | 1000000 | 100
A | 1000500 | 66
B | 1000000 | 100
B | 1000010 | 50
B | 1000020 | 200
B | 2500000 | 500
( The timestamp is a long value, so as to be able to express date in ms
from 0000-01-01 to today )
I want to compute operations such as min, max, average, last on the
value column, for a these couples :
-> instant = 1000500 / [-1000ms, 0 ] ( i.e. : agg. data betweem [
t-1000ms and t ]
-> instant = 1333333 / [-5000ms, -2500 ] ( i.e. : agg. data betweem [
t-5000ms and t-2500ms ]
And this will produce this kind of output :
id | timestamp(ms) | min_value | max_value | avg_value | last_value
-------------------------------------------------------------------
A | 1000500 | min... | max.... | avg.... | last....
B | 1000500 | min... | max.... | avg.... | last....
A | 1333333 | min... | max.... | avg.... | last....
B | 1333333 | min... | max.... | avg.... | last....
Do you think we can do this efficiently with spark and/or spark
streaming, and do you have an idea on "how" ?
Thanks a lot !
