Transparent cache when querying time series with Apache Spark

We have time series data, as daily parquet file of 3 GB in HDFS (hdfs:///data/year=X/month=X/day=X/data.parquet.gz), warehouse'd by Hive as data table.



All night, we run SQL queries to generate reports, with Apache Spark:



(1) SELECT date, count(*) from data GROUP BY date


(of course we have more complex query ^^)



I notice Apache Spark will run the query on all our data set (which is normal), but I would like to re-use data of previous day if possible since the previous data never change.



Solution in place



I can achieve this by doing an incremental consolidation:



(2) INSERT INTO consolidation SELECT date, count(*) FROM data WHERE date="yesterday"



then run the query against it ((3) SELECT date, value FROM consolidation)



Transparent cache I want



I am wondering if it's possible to have this behavior with the query (1) maybe by hacking how Spark is generating the logical plan, I dont know.

    What you want is a materialized view and requires (a) massive R&D efforts and (b) a way to detect which segments of data have changed since large materialization. Since Spark is not a DBMS and cannot ensure the data files have not changed in the meantime, it can't do it. For the record, Horton (RiP) tries to introduce that feature in Hive 3 but only for "ACID tables" that are under full control of Hive. For the record also, the MVs in Oracle have been there for a decade and are still a bit tricky to work with...

  • Some questions: 1. Is each days data appended to previous data or each wriiten to separate files? 2. Can you change the writing application? 3. Do you just need data for 2 days together or any range? 4. Can you use the data frame API?

  • If you have count distinct over periods greater than one day, reusing pre-aggregated results from previous days would be problematic.

  • Data IS appended in new folder, previous data never changed , thats why i think its possible tout achieve this "transparently"
