Data Solutions Everywhere at Red Hat Summit and JBoss World 2012

A very successful Red Hat Summit and JBoss World 2012 with over 3300 attendees from all over the world happened this week in Boston Hynes Convention Centre. 

In last one week Red Hat has released many products.

There were many varieties of sessions, it was evident that big data and cloud computing has taken prominent spot light. JBoss keynote was so good, there was not even standing room in 800+ capacity session hall. If you have not seen it you can watch it here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1cud4tP4Us&feature=youtu.be

If you have not already taken look at GlusterFS (Red Hat Storage), it is just  magic where you can take commodity hard drives and turn them into big data storage solution all with software.

I have attended couple sessions on Data Grid by Manik, they were very informative in educating the user about Big Data and how Infinispan is solving  issues in this space.

I attended "Red Hat Big Data Strategy Overiew", which show cased Red Hat Enterprise MRG Grid (condor) where they demonstrated, how to manage a Apache Hadoop cluster for job performance and resource utilization. Somebody else at conference also mentioned that this could even manage Red Hat Storage clusters with this and run the Map Reduce jobs on this cluster just like using Hadoop. Very cool!

Justin Hays in his "JBoss enterprise Middleware and BigData" showed how he solved his customer's big data problem with integration of several JBoss Technologies in a minimal amount of time. This was a great case study, hopefully he can do a white paper or do a blog about it.  He used EDS (Teiid) as one of the component. He did release his code in git repo here https://github.com/jboss-tusk/tusk

My presentation went very well, except for some technical difficulties during the demo. It was very well received, there were lot questions from the users ranging from whys to hows. I did felt that lot of developers never heard of data virtualization technologies before or do not fully understand its capabilities. Hopefully with these kind of conferences will help to spread the word more and more. We will also try to post more articles and demos in future.  Please help us spread the word about Data Virtulization. Unfortunately my presentation was not recorded, I will see how I can redo it and record. Mean while download Teiid, take it for spin and ask us any questions you have.

The Teiid team also closely looking into Hibernate OGM and have intentions integrating with NOSQL stores like Infinispan, Cassendra, MangoDB. If you are familiar with these or any other NOSQL stores and want to write Teiid translators please talk to us and help contributing to the community.

IBM sponsored "Summit at Fenway Park", it was lot of fun taking a tour of the Fenway, and stepping on the grounds for batting pose.

Thank you.

Teiid 8.11 Beta1 and 8.10.1 Released

Teiid 8.11 Beta1 is now available from the  downloads  and maven.  Feature highlights since Alpha2 include: TEIID-3434 More caching control over ttls in the result set cache down to the schema/table level. TEIID-3412 MS Access support via the UCanAccess driver. The UCanAccess support is necessary for those running on Java 1.8 as the JDBC ODBC bridge has been removed from the JRE. The waiting continues on EAP 6.4 Alpha1 - it still should be available shortly and should be the platform target for Teiid 8.11 Beta2. Of course, let us know if you find any issues with these early releases.  There's still plenty of time to get fixes into the final release. Teiid 8.10.1 is also available.  It addresses 5 important issues discovered since 8.10 was released: [ TEIID-3409 ] - PostgreSQLExecutionFactory TranslatorProperty annotation in wrong place [ TEIID-3437 ] - Inconsistencies with row count handling [ TEIID-3438 ] - Null value returned from BlobImpl

Tech Tip: Teiid SQL Language MAKEDEP Hint Explained

In this article I will explain what a MAKEDEP hint is, how and when, why it should be used in Teiid. What: MAKEDEP is query hint.  When a query hint is defined in the SQL query it influences the Teiid query planner to optimize the query in a way that is driven by the user. MAKEDEP means "make this as a dependent join". What is a Dependent Join? For example if we have query like: SELECT * FROM X INNER JOIN Y ON X.PK = Y.FK Where the data for X, and Y are coming from two different sources like Oracle and WebService in Teiid, so in relational algebra you can represent above query as Here the result tuples from node X and node Y are being simultaneously fetched by Teiid query engine, then it joins the both the results inside Teiid engine based on the specified X.PK = Y.PK condition and returns the filtered resulted to the user. simple.. Now, what if, if X table has 5 rows and Y table has 100K rows? In order to do the JOIN naively Teiid need sto read all the 5

Teiid Spring Boot 1.7.0 Released

Teiid Spring Boot version 1.7.0 to support Teiid 16.0 has been released. This release is mainly to support the Teiid's latest version.  In this release, the support for OpenAPI code generation based on VDB has been removed as there is no community interest and moreover it was at OpenAPI 2.0, and the industry has moved to 3.0 and beyond. There are no plans to further pursue this feature. VDB maven plugin was also removed, which was intended to be a replacement for the VDB importing feature was to be used when working on OpenShift, however, since it requires the Maven repository and does not completely represent the feature as defined on the WildFly based deployments this is also removed. You can still use the VDB import feature with Teiid Spring Boot, simply define the VDB with your "IMPORT DATABASE" statements and provide the additional files along with the main VDB file. During the start of the application, Teiid Spring Boot will load all the necessary DDL files for the
