Model View Controller (MVC) is a well known pattern for getting the application response data bound to HTML views on the server. Many frameworks supporting MVC require developers to structure their code around specific MVC annotations or types known to such frameworks.
Apache CXF JAX-RS implementation offers a light-weight, non-intrusive way to link application responses to view handlers such as JSP with a single JAX-RS MessageBodyWriter provider. The application code relying on this provider is not coded specifically around it and can continue be a pure JAX-RS code focused on supporting various HTTP methods and data formats.

The genesis of Hadoop was in analyzing massive amounts of data with a mapreduce framework. SQL­-on­Hadoop has followed shortly after that, paving a way to the whole schema-­on­-read notion. Discovering graph relationship in your data is the next logical step. Apache Giraph (modeled on Google’s Pregel) lets you apply the power of BSP approach to the unstructured data. In this talk we will focus on practical advice of how to get up and running with Apache Giraph, start analyzing simple data sets with built­-in algorithms and finally how to implement your own graph processing applications using the APIs provided by the project. We will then dive into how Giraph integrates with the Hadoop ecosystem (Hive, HBase, Accumulo, etc.) and will also provide a whirlwind tour of Giraph architecture.

Nowadays most components of a full identity infrastructure are available as Open Source components - and some even within The ASF: identity repositories, provisioning engines, access management systems.

Picking these bricks to realize a solution that will suit the wide-range ever-changing organizations' needs is a real challenge for all system integrators in the Identity & Access Management area.

Some real-word use cases and scenarios will be reviewed in this presentation to highlight strengths, flexibility and benefits - but also wicked problems and possible improvements - that Open Source Identity infrastructures can provide to organizations and final users.

Application monitoring has always been a major concern in companies and projects. All of us already try to mesure performances in some ways, even fully specific. Between the basic stopwatch APIs and the professional APM tools, there is a gulch.

Apache Sirona, is a simple but extensible monitoring system for any Java applications. It aims at providing a solid backbone on top of an extensible API. Perfect balance between too simple stopwatch utilities and full APM solutions, Apache Sirona make it possible to follow and understand applications from the end-user perspective to the server side.

Want to know more about profiling, monitoring, and how Apache Sirona entered into the game, then you don't want to miss this talk.

Considerations are being made to add Fortress IAM as an Apache project. The advantages of Fortress over existing Apache security projects are it fully implements ANSI RBAC (INCITS 359). This standard brings management capability for the RBAC data. Other advantages include a standardized multitenant data model that will simplify security integration.
This session will introduce the Fortress RBAC model and discuss the ongoing efforts to include as an Apache project. It will discuss alternatives of merging with existing apache security projects. A question and answer session at the end of the talk will provide attendees with an opportunity to provide their suggestions as well.

This talk presents a number of real-world examples of how JCR (Java Content Repository) tree structures are used to store content in heavy-duty content management systems. We'll describe a number of macro- and micro-tree structures that expose your content in a transparent, evolvable and self-documenting way.
By dissecting several example web and mobile application pages down to the content repository node and property level, we will show how JCR's combination of free-form and more structured micro-trees allows us to create simple and flexible content structures that can evolve with your application with minimal disruption.

BlazeDS: Client Server Communication done right

Even if the currently used data exchange formats from server-to-client and client-to-server have evolved quite a bit over the years, most still have a lot of problems: Large overhead, a lot of duplicated data, inability to serialise cyclic object graphs, not strongly types, ... With AMF, a protocol intorduced by Adobe in 2002 lacks none of these problems. In this talk I would like to give an overview of BlazeDS, which is a highly optimized framework for type-safe serialization and deserialization of large Java object graphs using AMF. I want to lay special emphasis on the AMF format and how it has major advantages over the established formats and how BlazeDS is more than just a framework for Client-Server communication, but also can be used for a lot more.

My involvment with Apache has probably started in 1999 with the Apache Cocoon project. Since then I have been involved in quite a lot of projects. When getting in touch with Adobe Flex I pretty quickly got involved with the Flexmojos project, which I used to build my Adobe Flex applications with Maven. This involvement has grown so far, that in 2012 I completely took over development and supporting the community. When Flex was donated to Apache I immediately started contributing my work to this project. Here I am currently taking care of bringing Apache Flex and Flexmojos together. Since then I have been an Apache committer and am continuing to bring Flexmojos and Apache Flex together.

With the variety of devices, platforms and functionalities in the mobile world, it is difficult for developers to quickly create and maintain mobile applications for all target platforms they are required to (Android, iOS, Windows, etc). Also, the speed to put the application in the hands of the users makes it almost an impossible task.
Apache Cordova provides a set of APIs for creating hybrid mobile applications using Web technologies (HTML 5, CSS, JavaScript) that can access functionality as a native application, such as camera, accelerometer, network, etc.
In this session, Victor Sosa will demonstrate how quickly a mobile application can be created to target different mobile platforms and that can access to native device features with reusable code using Apache Cordova and IBM Rational Application Developer.

Victor Sosa is a software engineer in IBM Rational with a diverse areas of interest, from plain Java and Javascript and other languages and frameworks to Mobile and Cloud computing. His focus is on bringing development tools to other developers to maximize their development skills into reliable applications.

"For complex web sites it remains the easiest and most elegant way to work alongside any MVC technology."

 ––  The concept of Tiles you have from Struts could well be outdated and wrong. While at heart it remains an implementation of the composition pattern, Tiles-3 has been rewritten to be both framework agnostic and template agnostic. Mick will demonstrate that Tiles-3 is now a simpler technology, coded correctly and cleanly, that remains a solid solution to solving many of the headaches existing in modern website development. Mick will go through different templating styles and show how to minimise Tiles configuration, a common Tiles hangover. While the user community is active, and the project solid and stable, Mick hopes to also inspire and capture potential committers to the project.

Apache Camel is a lightweight and powerful routing engine which can link multiple components into routes. A given route is often required to interact with 3rd party HTTP consumers and producers and Camel ships a number of HTTP-centric components supporting it. In this presentation we will analyze the way Apache CXF JAX-RS implementation can be used to HTTP-enable Camel routes with the help of Camel CXFRS component or native CXF JAX-RS endpoints.

My most recent work consists of designing and developing a large distributed system that uses the "remote proxy" pattern for executing arbitrarily complex workflows in a distributed deterministic way for a Healthcare startup in Silicon Valley.

Using a set of OSGi Services inside Apache ServiceMix, with Camel mediation and routing and CXF REST services, I designed (and implemented) a finite state machine to execute, transition, and provide routing semantics for events and actions using remote agents communicate using REST, HTTP, and low-level Linux TCP/IP networking.

The agents were written in C++, using the latest C++ 11 features of multi-threading, lambdas and thread-safe queue semantics to fork, monitor, and provide management and event notification python processes deployed with Docker. The OSGi services written in Java and a couple of REST routing services written in Python.

Configuration available in Apache-OFBiz OOTB is with difficulty adaptable to the industrial production other than assembly.
With a minimum of modification, it is possible to make it more flexible and offers many other possibilities of settings to adapt it to any type of production.
Secondly, this presentation will talk about production follow-up in the factory.
Production follow-up in Apache-OFBiz is enough for collecting data by the production manager, but doesn't allow a real-time seizure by operators.
The addition of a component (Free Licence) allows to make accessible features of Apache-OFBiz directly in the workshop on rugged tablets with touch screen, and so to collect data in real-time.
The presentation will show new possibilities of the configuration and will also demonstrate that Apache-OFBiz has its place in the factory.

Object-storage is meant to be reliable and cheap.
Typically this means that you have to accept some trade-offs, but it doesn't have to be that way.
Skylable SX is a fast open-source object storage, written in C, without SPoFs, built from the ground-up to work in a distributed environment. It is extremely easy to setup and to maintain. It offers a RESTful interface for its own protocol (SX) and also for the S3 protocol.
Unlike existing object-storage solutions, Skylable SX supports deduplication and multiplexing of transfers to multiple cluster nodes.

The presentation will focus on how easy it is to add support for Skylable SX to Cloudstack as a provider of secondary storage (with a plugin) and how the SX protocol can benefit Cloudstack users by providing deduplication, incremental uploads and multiplexed transfers.

Luca Gibelli started his adventure in the open-source world in 2002 as a cofounder of ClamAV, the leading open-source antivirus toolkit for UNIX. The project was acquired by Sourcefire which later became part of Cisco.

Apache Stratos is a highly extendible Platform as a Service (PaaS) framework which provides a cloud computing platform for running software on all major infrastructure cloud providers. Currently Stratos run computing services directly on virtual machines on Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) platforms. In this model each computing service instance needs a dedicated virtual machine. With Linux Container (LXC) support Stratos could run multiple instances of computing services on the same VM by sharing infrastructure resources. This will dramatically reduce the infrastructure resource usage and consequently reduce the cost that needs to be spent on the IaaS. More importantly it will break the barrier of requiring an IaaS to contribute to Stratos. Once LXC support is fully implemented developers and potential users can setup a complete Stratos environment on an average notebook.

The number of images produced and uploaded to the internet is growing exponentially. Popular sites like Yahoo Flickr, Google Picasso are flooded. It has become a laborious and challenging process for the individuals to tag the images. Tagging images is used for many purposes that include search, discovery, navigation and organization. There are not many open sources to help solve this problem. There are image similarity finding open source like LIRE ,text analysis open sources like Apache Stanbol and so on. There are wonderful resources like Wikipedia image dumps, dbpedia ontologies, freebase ontologies to name a few. What is missing is an algorithm which uses all these resources and accomplishes semi/auto-tagging of images. Hopefully the talk ignites the community to work towards creating a great open source to address this problem. A prototype algorithm also will be presented as POC.

EIP can be explained as a set of accepted solutions to recurring problems within a given context. These patterns help developers and architects describe and develop robust integration solutions more rapidly and reliably. Apache Stanbol provides a set of reusable components for Semantic Content Management. One of such components is the Enhancer, which can be used to extract features from different types of content. With EIP-Stanbol integration using Apache Camel, all the well-known EIP are available in Stanbol providing access to a set of useful tools. Moreover the EIP integration brings to Stanbol the possibility of running in a standalone way, in the sense that it could act by its own (requesting content, enhancing and sending it) as opposite to the current REST approach.
This integration is being done as part of the GSoC 2014

Apache Ambari is the only open-source Hadoop Console. As the Big Data revolution continues to rapidly evolve, so do the tools used to analyze the data at hand.
This talk will focus on expanding Ambari to include a new stack service, Apache Spark, in two varieties. One, as a service available within the current core Hadoop services and secondly, as a stack service of it's own. Thus changing the way we think of processing data with Hadoop. The second option allowing users more freedom by separating the ties between the compute and storage layer. This flexibility affording the capability to run a cluster within OpenStack and analyze data across multiple networked storage repositories.

HBase is an online database; response latency is critical. This talk will examine sources of latency in HBase, detailing steps along the read and write paths. We’ll examine the entire request lifecycle, from client to server and back again. We’ll look at the different factors that impact latency, including GC, cache misses, and system failures. We’ll also highlight some of the work done in 0.96+ to improve the reliability of HBase. The talk is for people who want to know what to expect out of HBase when it comes to applications with low latency requirements.

Nick Dimiduk is an HBase committer and an author of HBase in Action. He works on the HBase team at Hortonworks where his focus is on usability and performance. His involvement in Hadoop and HBase communities started in 2008 when his nightly ETL jobs were taking 20+ hours. Since then, he has applied Hadoop and HBase to projects over social media, social gaming, click-stream analysis, climatology, and geographic data. Nick also helped establish Seattle’s Scalability Meetup and tried his hand at entrepreneurship.

Another HBASE talk - this one on low latency - sounds interesting, but also going to talk about features like the 2 prior talks on HBase do too.

Apache Hive has become de facto standar SQL on big data in Hadoop ecosystem. With its open architecture and backend neutrality, Hive queries can run on MapReduce and Tez. On the other hand, Apache Spark as an open-source data analytics cluster computing framework has gained significant momentum recently. Marrying the two, that is, providing a new execution engine to Hive, has many benefits for Spark users and Hive users. This presentation will talk about the motivation, design principles, architecture, etc. followed by a demo.

Your application is out-growing its database. You've started shopping NoSQL options. HBase, Cassandra, Riak, Mongo, Redis -- which one to choose? Maybe you've adopted Hadoop into your Data Warehouse. You've heard HBase might be an appropriate technology, but you need to know more. This talk is for you. To understand when to use HBase, first understand how it works. This talk explores the design of HBase and its critical paths to ground an understanding of its use.

Nick Dimiduk is an HBase committer and an author of HBase in Action. He works on the HBase team at Hortonworks where his focus is on usability and performance. His involvement in Hadoop and HBase communities started in 2008 when his nightly ETL jobs were taking 20+ hours. Since then, he has applied Hadoop and HBase to projects over social media, social gaming, click-stream analysis, climatology, and geographic data. Nick also helped establish Seattle’s Scalability Meetup and tried his hand at entrepreneurship.

HBase is a distributed, scalable, big data store that is often used as the database for real time, and near real time, Big Data applications. HBase availability disruptions result in non-responsive applications, data loss etc. In this presentation, the two main areas of HBase availability concerns, namely the Region Server and the HBase master are analyzed. The use of a Paxos based co-ordination system to provide multiple active Region Servers per Region is presented. The role of the HBase Master, and a robust system for providing multiple active HBase Masters are considered here.

Apache Hadoop YARN is distributed OS for big data engines which enables the Hadoop compute layer to be a common resource-management platform that can host a multitude of applications. It has great scalability that can be up to thousands of nodes which also bring challenges to maintainability of cluster, especially for upgrade process.
In this talk, we’ll first analyze the challenges for previous upgrade model of Apache Hadoop YARN to understand what is pain point for users to do upgrade on a large YARN cluster. Then, we move to discuss our solutions of rolling upgrade and work in apache hadoop community, include: work preserving work during ResourceManager and NodeManager restart, deploy multiple version of MR jars on the same cluster via distributed cached and handling compatibility of versions for RPC protocol, layout of persistent data or even security tokens.

Building a working data processing stack using open source or commercial components is a challenging and highly complex task. Multiple often conflicting dependencies, many development teams with different release trains might dictate a substantial coordination effort. A constant flow of new features, bug fixes, and other changes are almost a disaster in making when it comes to the regression and quality control at any stage between development and production environment. Businesses with internal development teams are facing the issues with integration points of their deliverables into the bigger, company wide data platform software. The problem is exaggerated by exponential growth of the standard libraries and transient dependencies. Oftentimes, it is next to impossible to create a well controlled and reproducible system environment in all stages of the platform life-cycle.

We present a modular set of Natural Language Processing tools (ixa-pipes) which provide easy access to NLP technology. It offers robust and efficient linguistic annotation to both researchers and non-NLP experts with the aim of lowering the barriers of using NLP technology either for research purposes or for small industrial developers and SMEs. In addition to using Apache OpenNLP API, the tools in ixa-pipes (ixa2.si.ehu.es/ixa-pipes) are based on a data-centric architecture which makes it easy to pick and change or even replace different components. In this talk we will also present how we obtain competitive research results in several NLP for 5 languages as well as its application in big data processing based on Storm, UIMA and JRuby in several European projects. We will also describe the cross-fertilization between ixa-pipes and OpenNLP for current and future work.

I am a relatively new Apache OpenNLP committer and on my day-job I am a Research Fellow in Natural Language Processing at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) (http://www.rodrigoagerri.net). I am interested in open source software in general and OpenNLP in particular for both research and industrial applications. I am currently working at the European Projects OpeNER (http://www.opener-project.org) and NewsReader (http://www.newsreader-project.eu), were we use technology from OpenNLP and from other Apache projects such as Storm for Big Data processing in Natural Language Processing. I usually participate in scientific NLP conferences (e.g., EACL and LREC this year) but it is my first time in a conference of the ApacheCon type. I firmly believe in cross-fertilization between academic prototypes and open-source projects such as OpenNLP to advance of NLP technology for all.

Phoenix provides SQL skin over HBase, a very popular data store due to its tight integration with Hadoop. Phoenix is delivered as a client-embedded JDBC driver, that compiles SQL into native HBase calls.
Query latencies can however be high sometimes, specially when querying tables on column values. This can also have other undesirable side effects - like timeouts at client, or lease expiries.
Phoenix supports global indexes, and recently added support for local indexes(region level) . The indexes are used for various queries, like equals and range condition scans, and can turn full table scans to point/range scans.
In this session, we will learn about global and local index capability in Phoenix, and the scenarios where each of the options is suitable. We will also dive into technical details of the local index implementation - how region level indexes are stored in a separate table.

Apache Pig is a platform for analyzing large data sets that consists of a high-level language for expressing data analysis programs, coupled with infrastructure for evaluating these programs. In addition, it provides for extensibility by way of User Defined Functions. There are some third-party libraries for Pig geared for use by Data Scientists. In this talk, I will explore how to integrate popular libraries with Apache Pig to provide a robust environment to do data science. I will explore gaps and potential improvements that can be had based on our experience using Pig as a tool for data science. In particular, we will focus the role of Pig as a data aggregation tool as well as a platform to evaluate machine learning models at scale.

I am currently a principal architect in the consulting organization at Hortonworks. I primarily work with the Apache Hadoop software stack. I specialize in writing software and solving problems where there are either scalability concerns due to large amounts of traffic or large amounts of data. I have a particular passion for data science problems or any thing vaguely mathematical. As a Principal Architect focused on data science, I spend time with a variety of clients, large and small, mentoring and helping them use Hadoop to solve their problems. I have specialized in the past in Oil & Gas and Healthcare. I have previously spoken at the Hadoop Summit 2013 in the Data Science track as well as at HBaseCon 2012.

Wicket / Web Frameworks

The "Apache Way" is the process by which Apache Software Foundation projects are managed. It has evolved over many years and has produced over 100 highly successful open source projects. But what is it and how does it work?

In this session we'll discover at how an Apache project is (and isn't!) managed. We will see how the foundation provides an technical and legal infrastructure for each project, and how the Apache Way provides the governance scaffolding for individual projects. This provides the framework for Apache projects which are then free to apply the Apache Way to ensure their project succeeds.

Having attended this session you will have a better understanding of the inner workings of both the foundation and its projects. With this understanding you will be better equipped to engage with and benefit from Apache projects.
