It also improves the engineering productivity by simplifying the existing pipelines and unlocking the new patterns. For example, a job would reprocess aggregates for the past 3 days because it assumes that there would be late arriving data, but data prior to 3 days isn’t worth the cost of reprocessing. past 3 hours or 10 days).

In 2018, we will see new data integration patterns those rely either on a shared high-performance distributed storage interface ( Alluxio ) or a common data format ( Apache Arrow ) sitting between compute and storage. For instance, Alluxio, originally known as Tachyon, can potentially use Arrow as its in-memory data structure.
