Projects

Alluxio (formerly Tachyon): A memory speed virtual distributed file system. The project is open source and is deployed at hundreds of companies. It has more than 1000 contributors from over 200 institutions, including Alibaba, Yahoo, Intel, Baidu, IBM, Tencent, and Redhat etc. [SOCC 13] [Github] [San Francisco Bay Area Meetup]

Spark Streaming: Spark Streaming offers a high-level functional programming API, strong consistency, and efficient fault recovery. It is now part of the Spark, which lets users seamlessly intermix streaming, batch and interactive queries. [HotCloud'12] [SOSP'13] [Github]

Apache Spark: A cluster computing engine that makes data analytics fast. It provides an efficient abstraction for distributed in-memory computation. I am a founding committer of Apache Spark. [Github]

Parallel Frequent Pattern Mining: Various algorithms have been developed to speed up frequent itemset mining performance. We designed a parallel FP-Growth algorithm, and ran it on a cluster of several thousands of machines. It became a part of Apache Mahout. [RecSys'08]

Alluxio (formerly Tachyon), Spark Streaming, Apache Spark, Shark, and Apache Mesos are parts of the Berkeley Data Analytics Stack (BDAS).
