AWS customers often process petabytes of data using Amazon EMR on EKS. In enterprise environments with diverse workloads or varying operational requirements, customers frequently choose a multi-cluster setup due to the following advantages: Better resiliency and no single point of failure – If one cluster fails, other clusters can continue processing critical workloads, maintaining business […]

This post demonstrates how to migrate nearly any amount of data from an on-premises Apache Hadoop environment to Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) by using S3DistCp on Amazon EMR with AWS Direct Connect. To transfer resources from a target EMR cluster, the traditional Hadoop DistCp must be run on the source cluster to move […]

Customers face a challenge when distributing cloud resources between different teams running workloads such as development, testing, or production. The resource distribution challenge also occurs when you have different line-of-business users. The objective is not only to ensure sufficient resources be consistently available to production workloads and critical teams, but also to prevent adhoc jobs […]

New enhancements in Trino with Amazon EMR provide improved resiliency for running ETL and batch workloads on Spot Instances with reduced costs. This post showcases the resilience of Amazon EMR with Trino using fault-tolerant configuration to run long-running queries on Spot Instances to save costs. We simulate Spot interruptions on Trino worker nodes by using AWS Fault Injection Simulator (AWS FIS).

Currently, Iceberg provides a compaction utility that compacts small files at a table or partition level. But this approach requires you to implement the compaction job using your preferred job scheduler or manually triggering the compaction job. In this post, we discuss the new Iceberg feature that you can use to automatically compact small files while writing data into Iceberg tables using Spark on Amazon EMR or Amazon Athena.

To build a data-driven business, it is important to democratize enterprise data assets in a data catalog. With a unified data catalog, you can quickly search datasets and figure out data schema, data format, and location. The AWS Glue Data Catalog provides a uniform repository where disparate systems can store and find metadata to keep […]

Organizations use their data to solve complex problems by starting small, running iterative experiments, and refining the solution. Although the power of experiments can’t be ignored, organizations have to be cautious about the cost-effectiveness of such experiments. If time is spent creating the underlying infrastructure for enabling experiments, it further adds to the cost. Developers […]

Apache Hudi is an open-source transactional data lake framework that greatly simplifies incremental data processing and data pipeline development. It does this by bringing core warehouse and database functionality directly to a data lake on Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) or Apache HDFS. Hudi provides table management, instantaneous views, efficient upserts/deletes, advanced indexes, streaming […]
