Re: [akka-user] Role of Akka in SMACK

Hi again, Thought I'd share some numbers on performance comparison between Kafka Connect and Apache Spark. In my case, for ingesting data from Kafka to HDFS (HDP), Kafka Connect performs ~25% faster than Apache Spark. Both consumers read from a single, non-partitioned Kafka topic containing 5 mil

Be careful with Flink. IME it's got a long way to go. The core model is fantastic but there's a lot of low-hanging fruit that needs to be fixed. On Tuesday, May 2, 2017 at 4:03:12 PM UTC-6, Evan Chan wrote: > > Hi Shiva, > > Spark will likely be too high latency for you. Practical minimal batc

Hi Shiva, Spark will likely be too high latency for you. Practical minimal batch size is a couple seconds. Think of Akka as a best fit for if you want to deploy individual apps each reading from some set of fixed Kafka partitions. Each one could then write to HDFS. However you would need to

I'm looking to compare Kafka Streams vs Akka Streams in two areas: 1. For ingesting between Kafka and HDFS/RDBMS Requirements are mainly around performance and latency. A Kafka topic can have several million events, each corresponding to a database change capture. When ingesting this topic into H

Hi, I have read through multiple articles describing the SMACK stack but I'm having difficulty understanding the role of Akka in the stack. How does Akka fit in? Also I would like to know of experiences in using Akka Streams vs Kafka Connect for ingesting from Kafka into HDFS (Hive) and RDBMS. Ha
