Open Source Big Data Tools

A framework for learning from a continuous supply of examples, a data stream. Includes classification, regression, clustering, outlier detection and recommender systems. Related to the WEKA project, also written in Java, while scaling to adaptive large scale machine learning.

Big Sack is a Java persistence mechanism that allows storage of key value pairs following the popular Big Data paradigms. Its a very simple and straightforward way to bridge the gap between in-memory data structures and long-term storage. It has the convenience of Java SDK TreeMap and TreeSet classes and is used the same easy way, but it includes rollback through undo logging to checkpoint data so it does not wind up in an unknown state regardless of failures. Data storage in the exabyte range is possible using filesystem and/or memory-mapped IO. Three levels of configurable write-through caching at different granularities ensure performance.

The giServer is an easy-to-use integration server for process automation and event-driven or scheduled execution of batch jobs. Instead of using complex XML configuration files an elaborate GUI for batch job management is included. Some possible usage scenarios are: - Automatic processing of incoming data files - Big Data applications - Process automation - Data Mining/Aggregation applications - Automatic Reporting - Processing and analysis of database records
