Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.

Overview Superset Documentation _static/images/screenshots/deckgl_dash.png 3.4 Contents 3.4.1 Installation & Configuration Getting Started Superset has deprecated support for Python 2.* and supports only ~=3.6 to take advantage of the newer Python features and reduce the burden of supporting previous versions. We run our test suite against 3.6, but 3.7 is fully supported as well. Cloud-native! Superset is designed to be highly available. It is “cloud-native” as it has been designed scale out in large, distributed environments, and works well inside containers. While you can easily test drive Superset on a modest setup or simply on your laptop, there’s virtually no limit around scaling out the platform. Superset is also cloud-native in the sense that it is flexible and lets you choose your web server (Gunicorn, Nginx, Apache), your metadata database engine (MySQL, Postgres, MariaDB, . ), your message queue (Redis, RabbitMQ, SQS, . ), your results backend (S3, Redis, Memcached, . ), your caching layer (Memcached, Redis, . ), works well with services like NewRelic, StatsD and DataDog, and has the ability to run analytic workloads against most popular database technologies. Superset is battle tested in large environments with hundreds of concurrent users. Airbnb’s production environment runs inside Kubernetes and serves 600+ daily active users viewing over 100K charts a day. The Superset web server and the Superset Celery workers (optional) are stateless, so you can scale out by running on as many servers as needed. Start with Docker Note: The Docker-related files and documentation are actively maintained and managed by the core committers working on the project. Help and contributions around Docker are welcomed! If you know docker, then you’re lucky, we have shortcut road for you to initialize development environment: git clone https://github.com/apache/incubator-superset/ cd incubator-superset # you can run this command everytime you need to start superset now: docker-compose up 3.4. Contents 9 Superset Documentation After several minutes for superset initialization to finish, you can open a browser and view http://localhost:8088 to start your journey. By default the system configures an admin user with the username of admin and a password of admin - if you are in a non-local environment it is highly recommended to change this username and password at your earliest convenience. From there, the container server will reload on modification of the superset python and javascript source code. Don’t forget to reload the page to take the new frontend into account though. See also CONTRIBUTING.md#building, for alternative way of serving the frontend. It is currently not recommended to run docker-compose in production. If you are attempting to build on a Mac and it exits with 137 you need to increase your docker resources. OSX instructions: https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/#advanced (Search for memory) Or if you’re curious and want to install superset from bottom up, then go ahead. See also docker/README.md OS dependencies Superset stores database connection information in its metadata database. For that purpose, we use the cryptography Python library to encrypt connection passwords. Unfortunately, this library has OS level depen- dencies. You may want to attempt the next step (“Superset installation and initialization”) and come back to this step if you encounter an error. Here’s how to install them: For Debian and Ubuntu, the following command will ensure that the required dependencies are installed: sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python-dev python-pip ,!libsasl2-dev libldap2-dev Ubuntu 18.04 If you have python3.6 installed alongside with python2.7, as is default on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, run this command also: sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python3.6-dev python-pip ,!libsasl2-dev libldap2-dev otherwise build for cryptography fails. For Fedora and RHEL-derivatives, the following command will ensure that the required dependencies are installed: sudo yum upgrade python-setuptools sudo yum install gcc gcc-c++ libffi-devel python-devel python-pip python-wheel ,!openssl-devel cyrus-sasl-devel openldap-devel Mac OS X If possible, you should upgrade to the latest version of OS X as issues are more likely to be resolved for that version. You will likely need the latest version of XCode available for your installed version of OS X. You should also install the XCode command line tools: xcode-select--install System python is not recommended. Homebrew’s python also ships with pip: brew install pkg-config libffi openssl python env LDFLAGS="-L$(brew --prefix openssl)/lib" CFLAGS="-I$(brew --prefix openssl)/ ,!include" pip install cryptography==2.4.2 10 Chapter 3. Overview Superset Documentation Windows isn’t officially supported at this point, but if you want to attempt it, download get-pip.py, and run python get-pip.py which may need admin access. Then run the following: C:\> pip install cryptography # You may also have to create C:\Temp C:\> md C:\Temp Python virtualenv It is recommended to install Superset inside a virtualenv. Python 3 already ships virtualenv. But if it’s not installed in your environment for some reason, you can install it via the package for your operating systems, otherwise you can install from pip: pip install virtualenv You can create and activate a virtualenv by: # virtualenv is shipped in Python 3.6+ as venv instead of pyvenv. # See https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/venv.html python3-m venv venv . venv/bin/activate On Windows the syntax for activating it is a bit different: venv\Scripts\activate Once you activated your virtualenv everything you are doing is confined inside the virtualenv. To exit a virtualenv just type deactivate. Python’s setup tools and pip Put all the chances on your side by getting the very latest pip and setuptools libraries.: pip install--upgrade setuptools pip Superset installation and initialization

  • Creating Dashboards and Data Stories Within the Data & Analytics Framework (DAF)
    Creating dashboards and data stories within the Data & Analytics Framework (DAF) Michele Petitoc, Francesca Fallucchia,b and De Luca Ernesto Williama,b a DIII, Guglielmo Marconi University, Via Plinio 44, 00193 Roma RM, Italy E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] b DIFI, Georg Eckert Institute Braunschweig, Celler Str. 3, 38114 Braunschweig, German E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] c DIFI, Università̀ di Pisa, Lungarno Antonio Pacinotti 43, 56126, Pisa PI, Italy E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. In recent years, many data visualization tools have appeared on the market that can potentially guarantee citizens and users of the Public Administration (PA) the ability to create dashboards and data stories with just a few clicks, using open and unopened data from the PA. The Data Analytics Framework (DAF), a project of the Italian government launched at the end of 2017 and currently being tested, integrates data based on the semantic web, data analysis tools and open source business intelli- gence products that promise to solve the problems that prevented the PA to exploit its enormous data potential. The DAF favors the spread of linked open data (LOD) thanks to the integration of OntoPiA, a network of controlled ontologies and vocabularies that allows us to describe the concepts we find in datasets, such as "sex", "organization", "people", "addresses", "points of inter- est", "events" etc. This paper contributes to the enhancement of the project by introducing the process of creating a dashboard in the DAF in 5 steps, starting from the dataset search on the data portal, to the creation phase of the real dashboard through Superset and the related data story.

  • Real-Time Data Analytics with Apache Druid Correa Bosco Hilary Department of Information Technology, (Msc
    IJARSCT ISSN (Online) 2581-9429 International Journal of Advanced Research in Science, Communication and Technology (IJARSCT) Volume 5, Issue 2, May 2021 Impact Factor: 4.819 Real-Time Data Analytics with Apache Druid Correa Bosco Hilary Department of Information Technology, (MSc. IT Part 1) Sir Sitaram and Lady Shantabai Patkar College of Arts and Science, Mumbai, India Abstract: The shift towards real-time data flow has a major impact on the way applications are designed and on the work of data engineers. Dealing with real-time data ingestion brings a paradigm shift and an added layer of challenges compared to traditional integration and processing methods. There are real benefits to leveraging real-time data, but it requires specialized considerations in setting up the ingestion, processing, storing, and serving of that data. It brings about specific operational needs and a change in the way data engineers work. These should be considered while embarking on a real- time journey. In this paper we are going to see real time data analytics with apache druid. Apache Druid (incubating) performant analytics data store for event-driven data .Druid’s core design combines ideas from OLAP/analytic databases, time series databases, and search systems to create a unified system for operational analytics. Keywords: Distributed, Real-time, Fault-tolerant, Highly Available, Open Source, Analytics, Column- oriented, Olap, Apache Druid I. INTRODUCTION Streaming data integration is the foundation for streaming analytics. Specific use cases such as IoT devices log, contextual marketing triggers, Dynamic pricing all rely on using a data feed or real-time data. If you cannot source the data in real-time, there is very little value to be gained in attempting to tackle these use cases.

Our proposed framework is based on providing architecture independent performance prediction model to enable resource adaptive distributed stream data processing platform. It is comprised of seven pre-defned domain for dynamic data stream metrics including a self-driven model which tries to ft these metrics using ridge regularization regression algorithm. Another signifcant contribution lies in fully-auto- mated performance prediction model inherited from the state-of-the-art distributed data management system for distributed stream processing systems using Gaussian processes regression that cluster metrics with the help of dimensionality reduction algorithm. We implemented its base on Apache Heron and evaluated with proposed Benchmark Suite comprising of fve domain-specifc topologies. To assess the pro- posed methodologies, we forcefully ingest tuple skewness among the benchmark- ing topologies to set up the ground truth for predictions and found that accuracy of predicting the performance of data streams increased up to 80.62% from 66.36% along with the reduction of error from 37.14 to 16.06%.
