This document discusses connecting Oracle Analytics Cloud (OAC) Essbase data to Microsoft Power BI. It provides an overview of Power BI and OAC, describes various methods for connecting the two including using a REST API and exporting data to Excel or CSV files, and demonstrates some visualization capabilities in Power BI including trends over time. Key lessons learned are that data can be accessed across tools through various connections, analytics concepts are often similar between tools, and while partnerships exist between Microsoft and Oracle, integration between specific products like Power BI and OAC is still limited.

Apache Spark is a fast and general engine for large-scale data processing. It was created by UC Berkeley and is now the dominant framework in big data. Spark can run programs over 100x faster than Hadoop in memory, or more than 10x faster on disk. It supports Scala, Java, Python, and R. Databricks provides a Spark platform on Azure that is optimized for performance and integrates tightly with other Azure services. Key benefits of Databricks on Azure include security, ease of use, data access, high performance, and the ability to solve complex analytics problems.
The feature store is a data architecture concept used to accelerate data science experimentation and harden production ML deployments. Nate Buesgens and Bryan Christian describe a practical approach to building a feature store on Delta Lake at a large financial organization. This implementation has reduced feature engineering “wrangling” time by 75% and has increased the rate of production model delivery by 15x. The approach described focuses on practicality. It is informed by innovative approaches such as Feast, but our primary goal is evolutionary extensions of existing patterns that can be applied to any Delta Lake architecture. Key Takeaways: – Understand the key use cases that motivate the feature store from both a data science and engineering perspective. – Consider edge cases where there may be opportunities for simplification such as “online” predictions. – Review a typical logical data model for a feature store and how that can be applied to your business domain. – Consider options for physical storage of the feature store in the Delta Lake. – Understand common access patterns including metadata-based feature discovery.
This document discusses the importance of data observability for improving data quality. It begins with an introduction to data observability and how it works by continuously monitoring data to detect anomalies and issues. This is unlike traditional reactive approaches. Examples are then provided of how unexpected data values or volumes could negatively impact downstream processes but be resolved quicker with data observability alerts. The document emphasizes that data observability allows issues to be identified and addressed before they become costly problems. It promotes data observability as a way to proactively improve data integrity and ensure accurate, consistent data for confident decision making.
This document summarizes Mark Kromer's presentation on using Azure Data Factory and Azure Databricks for ETL. It discusses using ADF for nightly data loads, slowly changing dimensions, and loading star schemas into data warehouses. It also covers using ADF for data science scenarios with data lakes. The presentation describes ADF mapping data flows for code-free data transformations at scale in the cloud without needing expertise in Spark, Scala, Python or Java. It highlights how mapping data flows allow users to focus on business logic and data transformations through an expression language and provides debugging and monitoring of data flows.
As organizations pursue Big Data initiatives to capture new opportunities for data-driven insights, data governance has become table stakes both from the perspective of external regulatory compliance as well as business value extraction internally within an enterprise. This session will introduce Apache Atlas, a project that was incubated by Hortonworks along with a group of industry leaders across several verticals including financial services, healthcare, pharma, oil and gas, retail and insurance to help address data governance and metadata needs with an open extensible platform governed under the aegis of Apache Software Foundation. Apache Atlas empowers organizations to harvest metadata across the data ecosystem, govern and curate data lakes by applying consistent data classification with a centralized metadata catalog. In this talk, we will present the underpinnings of the architecture of Apache Atlas and conclude with a tour of governance capabilities within Apache Atlas as we showcase various features for open metadata modeling, data classification, visualizing cross-component lineage and impact. We will also demo how Apache Atlas delivers a complete view of data movement across several analytic engines such as Apache Hive, Apache Storm, Apache Kafka and capabilities to effectively classify, discover datasets.

Today, data lakes are widely used and have become extremely affordable as data volumes have grown. However, they are only meant for storage and by themselves provide no direct value. With up to 80% of data stored in the data lake today, how do you unlock the value of the data lake? The value lies in the compute engine that runs on top of a data lake. Join us for this webinar where Ahana co-founder and Chief Product Officer Dipti Borkar will discuss how to unlock the value of your data lake with the emerging Open Data Lake analytics architecture. Dipti will cover: -Open Data Lake analytics - what it is and what use cases it supports -Why companies are moving to an open data lake analytics approach -Why the open source data lake query engine Presto is critical to this approach
