How Uber Sped Up SQL-based Data Analytics with Presto and Express Queries

Uber uses Presto, an open-source distributed SQL query engine, to provide analytics across several data sources, including Apache Hive, Apache Pinot, MySQL, and Apache Kafka. To improve its performance, Uber engineers explored the advantages of dealing with quick queries, a.k.a. express queries, in a specific way and found they could improve both Presto utilization and response times.

Express queries, i.e. queries that execute in under two minutes, amounted to about half the total queries Uber analytics process. Engineers at Uber found out that handling them just as the rest of queries caused underutilization and high latency due to them being throttled to avoid overloading the system.

To prevent express queries from being throttled, the first step was to predict when an incoming query is an express queries. Uber engineers based this prediction on historical data where each query was assigned an exact fingerprint, that is, a unique hash calculated after removing comments, whitespaces, and any literal values.

We tested the P90 and P95 query execution times using the exact fingerprint and abstract fingerprint of the query with lookback windows of 2 days, 5 days, and 7 days. […] We used this candidate definition to predict if a query was express: if the X runtime of the query in the last Y days based on Z fingerprint was less than 2 minutes.

Using this definition, Uber engineers found that the P90 value of the abstract fingerprint with a 5-day lookback window provided the best accuracy and coverage to predict which queries would complete in less than two minutes. They also kept enough data in the table used to look up if an incoming query is an express query to be able to change to a different percentile and/or larger or smaller lookback window.

While this idea seemed straightforward, its design and implementation went through a couple of iterations, moving from the idea of introducing express-query handling as late as possible in the system pipeline to handling them as early as possible.

In their first design, Uber engineers decided to queue up express and non-express queries in the same queues based on their user-priority. That means, all queries, either express or non express, went to the queue corresponding to their user-priority, e.g., batch or interactive. Each queue had its own designated Presto cluster, with a subset of it dedicated to handle express queries after all user/source and cluster limits checks were carried through.

This design led to underutilizing the express Presto clusters, basically because of mixing slow and express queries in the same queues, which made slow queries still dictate the pace at which express queries reached express clusters.

As a second attempt at designing the system, Uber engineers tried to use a dedicated queue for express queries, which were routed as soon as entering the system after the validation step. So, express queries had a direct, faster path to the designated express clusters, bringing an order-of-magnitude improvement in end-to-end SLA for over 75% of scheduled queries.

While this approach improved cluster utilization and running time for express queries, Uber engineers are considering how to improve it even more. In fact, running this design in production showed that express query handling is so fast that it is not necessary to route express queries across different queues based on their priority.

This made Uber engineers start to work on a further evolution of their design were express queries have a completely dedicated subsystem, which promises to further increase cluster utilization and simplify routing logic.

MONGDB’s stock price (MDB) fell in the intraday levels while gathering momentum to rise anew, as it also vented off overbought saturation in the RSI with negative signals streaming out of it, while it leaned on the upward correctional trend line in the short term, as it also leaned on the support of the 50-day SMA. 

Therefore we expect the stock to return higher, targeting the resistance of $324.70, provided the support of $271.66 holds on.

Trend forecast for today: Likely Bullish

Time to Buy These Up-and-Coming Software Firms? – sharewise

MMS Founder

Abstract futuristic  gear wheel on circuit board, high computer business technology ,  digital speed technology blue color background

The software portion of the larger tech industry has recently experienced a sharp upward swing. A benchmark ETF, the iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF (BATS: IGV), has climbed by nearly 38% in the last year, with more than a quarter of that increase in the month from mid-October to mid-November.

This coincides with the period immediately surrounding the presidential election and may reflection an expectation of a looser regulatory environment going forward, largely seen as a potential boon for software developers.

Amid the broader rally, several niche software companies may warrant further investigation by investors considering a focus on this industry.

MDB: Leading Product in a Competitive Space

MongoDB Inc. (NASDAQ: MDB) provides software platforms for companies to use to store and analyze data more effectively. It offers a database-as-a-service tool, MongoDB Atlas, that allows clients from many different industries to manage databases remotely via the cloud.

For the second quarter of its 2025 fiscal year, MongoDB reported excellent workload acquisition, contributing to 13% year-over-year improvement to overall revenue. Atlas made up more than 70% of the $478 million in revenue the company generated during the year. While net losses widened slightly to $54.5 million, the company ended the quarter with a strong cash position of $2.3 billion.

MongoDB is positioning itself well in a rapidly growing, though niche, NoSQL database industry that is expected to reach more than $82 billion in size by 2031. On the other hand, though, the company will have to contend with significantly larger rivals that are also exploring offerings in the same space. Most notable in this category is Amazon.com Inc.’s (NASDAQ: AMZN) DynamoDB.

MongoDB has a “moderate buy” rating with 20 out of 26 analysts recommending that investors purchase shares. The consensus price target for MDB is $334.25, 14.1% higher than current levels.

CHKP: Cybersecurity Strength, But Recent Dip May Mean Buy Opportunity

Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP) creates cybersecurity software and a range of related products and services. In the latest quarter, the company posted 7% overall revenue growth to $635 million, including 12% year-over-year subscription revenue growth, even as Check Point executives acknowledged that several deals had been pushed to the fourth quarter and would be reflected in a later earnings report.

Despite this setback, Check Point reiterated its guidance of $2.5 billion in revenue for the year and net profit of over $1 billion. The company has also posted gross margin of 89% even as operating expenses have increased. This is all to say that Check Point has solid fundamentals and a popular cybersecurity product lineup.

Nonetheless, shares of CHKP fell following the earnings announcement in late October. This is understandable given that the report did not dramatically exceed expectations and that the company’s stock traded around a 1-year high throughout most of the month in anticipation of new executive leadership.

Now, even though Bank of America has recently downgraded Check Point to “neutral” from “buy” previously, a relatively lower share price means analysts see shares rising by about 12%. This could be an opportune moment for investors to buy in.

TYL: Promising Trends But Mixed Earnings

Tyler Technologies Inc. (NYSE: TYL) provides software and services to public sector organizations to aid in cybersecurity efforts, data analysis, payments solutions, and more. In the latest quarter, Tyler’s revenue climbed by almost 10% year-over-year, driven by increased demand for its software as a service (SaaS) options. Transaction revenues grew by more than 15% thanks to higher volumes from both new and returning customers.

These signs point to Tyler’s successful implementation of its cloud-based strategy, which it intends to continue to develop going forward. And yet, there are reasons to be cautious as well: while the company boosted its guidance range for GAAP diluted EPS for 2024, it reduced its expected free cash margin and slightly lowered the top end of its full-year revenue guidance as well.

Assessing Risk

As each of the firms above contests with larger, more established rivals, there is both the potential for growth and the risk of failure to overcome these obstacles. Each of the companies has analyst votes of confidence, but each also has potential disadvantages for an investor as well.

Java News Roundup: Spring Framework 6.2, OpenJDK JEPs, Micronaut 4.7, Gradle 8.11

MMS Founder
MMS Michael Redlich

Article originally posted on InfoQ. Visit InfoQ

This week’s Java roundup for November 11th, 2024 features news highlighting: the release of Spring Framework 6.2.0; four JEPs that have been targeted for JDK 24; two JEPs that have been proposed to target for JDK 24; three new JEP candidates; and the release of Micronaut 4.7.0 and Gradle 8.11.0.

OpenJDK

The following JEPs, having successfully completed their respective reviews, are now Targeted for JDK 24.

The following JEPs have been elevated to Proposed to Target for JDK 24. Their reviews are expected to conclude on November 21st, 2024.

Details on all of these JEPs may be found in this InfoQ news story.

JEP 501, Deprecate the 32-bit x86 Port for Removal, has been promoted from its JEP Draft 8338285 to Candidate status. This JEP proposes to deprecate the Linux 32-bit x86 port with a plan to remove it in JDK 25. This JEP is related to JEP 449, Deprecate the Windows 32-bit x86 Port for Removal, delivered in JDK 21. Once this port is removed, Java applications running in 32-bit x86 processors will be run through the Zero port.

JEP 499, Structured Concurrency (Fourth Preview), has been promoted from its JEP Draft 8344096 to Candidate status. This JEP proposes a fourth preview, without change, in order to gain more feedback from the previous three rounds of preview, namely: JEP 480, Structured Concurrency (Third Preview), delivered in JDK 23; JEP 462, Structured Concurrency (Second Preview), delivered in JDK 22; and JEP 453, Structured Concurrency (Preview), delivered in JDK 21. This feature simplifies concurrent programming by introducing structured concurrency to “treat groups of related tasks running in different threads as a single unit of work, thereby streamlining error handling and cancellation, improving reliability, and enhancing observability.”

JEP 498, Warn upon Use of Memory-Access Methods in sun.misc.Unsafe, has been promoted from its JEP Draft 8342077 to Candidate status. This JEP, a successor to JEP 471, Deprecate the Memory-Access Methods in sun.misc.Unsafe for Removal, delivered in JDK 23, proposes to issue a runtime warning if any of the memory-access methods, defined in the unsupported Unsafe class, are invoked. These methods were deprecated in JDK 23 and have been superseded by APIs, such as: JEP 193, Variable Handles, delivered in JDK 9; and JEP 454, Foreign Function & Memory API, delivered in JDK 22.

JDK 24

Build 24 of the JDK 24 early-access builds was made available this past week featuring updates from Build 23 that include fixes for various issues. Further details on this release may be found in the release notes.

For JDK 24, developers are encouraged to report bugs via the Java Bug Database.

Jakarta EE

In his weekly Hashtag Jakarta EE blog, Ivar Grimstad, Jakarta EE Developer Advocate at the Eclipse Foundation, provided an update on Jakarta EE 11, writing:

As I have mentioned a couple of times already, Jakarta EE 11 Core Profile will be the first of the Platform- and Profile-specifications to reach the release review stage. That will most likely happen this week. All artifacts are ready and two compatible implementations have passed the TCK. Check out the compatibility requests and test results for WildFly and Open Liberty.

The road to Jakarta EE 11 included four milestone releases with the potential for release candidates as necessary before the GA release in 4Q2024.

Spring Framework

After seven milestone releases and three release candidates, Spring Framework 6.2.0 is now available to the Java community featuring: improvements in the core container, Spring Expression Language (SpEL); web and messaging applications; and testing. It is important to note that several deprecated classes, constructors and methods, such as: Base64Utils, JCacheOperationSourcePointcut and AbstractClientHttpResponse classes, have been removed in version 6.2.0. More details on this release may be found in the release notes. InfoQ will follow up with a more detailed news story that will include the upcoming release of Spring Boot 3.4.0, scheduled for November 21st, 2024.

The release of Spring Framework 6.1.15 delivers bug fixes, improvements in documentation, dependency upgrades and new features such as: use of the UriUtils class to process static resource paths for consistency and to ensure proper handling of raw characters; and improved interaction methods in the MultiValueMap interface that better align with its implementations in native mode. Further details on this release may be found in the release notes.

After one milestone release and one release candidate, Spring Data 2024.1.0 is now available to the Java community featuring: full support for value expressions (via the Spring Expression Language) in repository query methods using the @Query annotation; and refinement of SQL and JPQL query parsers for an enhanced QueryRenderer model.

KubeCon + CloudNativeCon NA 2024: Key Announcements and Project Updates

MMS Founder
MMS Mostafa Radwan

Article originally posted on InfoQ. Visit InfoQ

Last week, the cloud-native community gathered in Salt Lake City, Utah for KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2024. Practitioners, tech leaders, and vendors explored the latest innovations and technologies defining cloud-native computing.

This year’s theme “scaling new heights” focused on enhancing scalability, efficiency, and security to enable teams and organizations in the AI era as the Kubernetes project turned 10 this year.

Jim Zemlin, the executive director of the Linux Foundation, and Chris Aniszczyk, CTO of the CNCF kicked off the event by underscoring the community efforts to combat patent trolls and announcing the cloud native heroes challenge, a community-driven program for practitioners to help protect the ecosystem from patent trolls, and a partnership with unified patents.

In addition, the CNCF announced the release of the return of the technology radar landscape, a detailed report that looks deep into the maturity of key tools and technologies in the ecosystem, and a set of cloud-native reference architectures. Both are intended to provide guidance and promote the adoption of cloud-native technologies in organizations.

Some of the key announcements include:

  • The graduation of project Cert-manager, a project that helps with the issuing and renewal of TLS and mTLS certificates. The project has wide adoption across the cloud-native ecosystem as it simplifies the lifecycle management of X.509 certificates in Kubernetes platforms.
  • The graduation of project Dapr, a distributed portable runtime that makes it easy for developers to build resilient distributed systems that run across the cloud and edge. The project provides APIs for communication, state, and workflow to simplify the process of building production-ready distributed applications.
  • Release of KubeVirt v1.4. The tool provides a unified platform that enables developers to build and deploy applications regardless of the underlying infrastructure including application containers and virtual machines. The new release includes generally available features such as GPU assignment, support for Non-uniform Memory Access (NUMA), and common instance types.
  • The premiere of Inside Argo: Automating the Future. The documentary film goes into the making of the open-source project and how it grew from a single engine to a set of tools to simplify and automate Kubernetes deployments.
  • New Certifications were announced during the event including the Certified Backstage Associate (CBA). OpenTelemetry Certified Associate (OTCA), Kyverno Certified Associate (KCA), and Certified Cloud Native Platform Engineer (CNPE).

The certifications are designed to focus on the skills that are increasingly essential to organizations adopting cloud-native technologies and go beyond Kubernetes as they provide a way to demonstrate competence in hands-on experience building, maintaining, and observing cloud-native applications and platforms.

Recordings of the conference sessions and keynotes are available on the CNCF YouTube channel.

The last KubeCon + CloudNativeCon in 2024 will occur next month in New Delhi. This is the first time such an event will be held in India. It will be from December 11-12.

Next year, KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe will take place in London, England from April 1-4, North America in Atlanta, Georgia from November 10-13, China in Hong Kong from June 10-11, and for the very first time Japan from June 16-17.

GitHub Universe 2024 Unveils AI Innovations and Developer-Centric Tools

MMS Founder
MMS Steef-Jan Wiggers

Article originally posted on InfoQ. Visit InfoQ

GitHub has introduced significant updates at GitHub Universe 2024, showcasing a shift towards enhanced developer autonomy and AI-native experiences. The event centered on accessibility, innovation, and multi-model flexibility, offering tools designed to simplify workflows and enable developers of all skill levels to harness the power of artificial intelligence.

The platform’s Copilot now supports multiple AI models, including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Gemini, offering developers greater flexibility. Moreover, developers can select an AI model that aligns with their project requirements. The company explains in a press release:

Developers can toggle between models during a conversation with Copilot Chat to choose the right model for the right use case, or continue to let Copilot use its powerful default. With this multi-model approach, GitHub is enabling developers to build with an array of leading models in the workflows they’re accustomed to.

Another update was the launch of GitHub Spark, an AI-driven tool that allows users to create complete applications using natural language prompts. This innovation significantly lowers the barrier to entry for individuals new to coding, with GitHub estimating that Spark has the potential to reach over one billion users worldwide. By translating everyday language into functional code, Spark simplifies app creation, making it accessible to seasoned developers and beginners. On X, Kitze, a Web developer and Educator, tweeted:

GitHub Spark is the future of coding.

Just let the user generate what they want; no one will care about the underlying code.

(except the 4 diehard vim nerds who’ll still yell at a cloud about the good ole days of manual programming)

In addition, GitHub has also integrated enhanced AI functionalities within popular development environments like Visual Studio Code. These updates include more intuitive code suggestions, personalized assistance, and the ability to debug and test applications with minimal manual intervention. Additionally, Copilot Extensions allows developers to customize their AI tools, further streamlining their workflows and improving efficiency across multiple stages of development.

Other updates on the GitHub platform include security as a focal point of the company’s offerings, with the introduction of Copilot Autofix. This feature leverages AI to detect and resolve vulnerabilities in real time, reducing the need for exhaustive manual reviews. By addressing security risks proactively, GitHub reaffirms its commitment to fostering safer development practices and protecting critical projects.

Earlier, in a Reddit thread, a correspondent commented on the Autofix feature:

It feels like AI was just slapped on to this to make it more marketable

I don’t see how AI is more effective at this than static analysis. A tool like Sonar can already do this very effectively, and it does it without needing AI.

Furthermore, over 55,000 developers have used Copilot Workspace to plan, build, test, and run code, resulting in over 10,000 merged pull requests. Based on developer feedback, GitHub has implemented over 100 updates, including a build and repair agent, error correction commands, brainstorming mode, VS Code integrations, iterative feedback, and enhanced AI assistance for improved context and personalization.

Lastly, the company expanded features with GitHub Models in public preview. The company stated that over 70,000 developers have used the interactive model playground to experiment with various AI models, including OpenAI, Meta Llama 3, Microsoft Phi, and Cohere Command R. New capabilities include side-by-side model comparison, support for multi-modal models, and the ability to save and share prompts and parameters, along with new cookbooks and SDK support in GitHub Codespaces.
