Klimatic: A Virtual Data Lake for Harvesting and Distribution of Geospatial Data Tyler J. Skluzacek, Kyle Chard, Ian Foster P D SW- D ISCS 2016 November 14, 2016 Tyler J.

Motivation Disparate research datasets stored in dark, siloed repositories. Researchers want robustness. Data hidden across HTTP and FTP servers (Globus GridFTP). Scalable architecture needed to find, index, integrate, and distribute. Geospatial data especially inaccessible to users (format, size, complexity). Ex: NetCDF Tyler J. Skluzacek, Kyle Chard, Ian Foster P D SW- D ISCS 2016 Klimatic: A Virtual Data Lake for Harvesting and Distribution of Geospatial Data November 14, 2016 2 / 21
Problem Constraints Data integrity must be upheld. i.e., data in system = data in wild Non-standard naming and coding conventions. Available data storage. Must be scalable. Intuitive queries (or lack thereof for lay(wo)man). The process should be automated. Tyler J.

Proposed Solution Tyler J. Skluzacek, Kyle Chard, Ian Foster P D SW- D ISCS 2016 Klimatic: A Virtual Data Lake for Harvesting and Distribution of Geospatial Data November 14, 2016 4 / 21
Enter Klimatic Quick access for researchers to search a world of data. Allows simple querying across datasets. Automated integration of compatible datasets into necessity-sized chunks. Introduction of the container-based Virtual Data Lake . Tyler J.

The Data Lake ”The term data lake has been coined to convey the concept of a centralized repository containing virtually inexhaustible amounts of raw (or minimally curated) data that is readily made available anytime to anyone”. 1 I. Terrizano, et al. Data Wrangling: The Challenging Journey from the Wild to the Lake . CIDR , 2015. Tyler J. Skluzacek, Kyle Chard, Ian Foster P D SW- D ISCS 2016 Klimatic: A Virtual Data Lake for Harvesting and Distribution of Geospatial Data November 14, 2016 6 / 21
The ”Virtual” Data Lake Data Lake that conflates locally stored data with remote, indexed data Metadata for all data stored locally; only important* raw data stored. *Importance based on relevance (-rel), size (-sz), and provider (-prv). Container Model: Extractor instances run in Docker containers. Tyler J. Skluzacek, Kyle Chard, Ian Foster P D SW- D ISCS 2016 Klimatic: A Virtual Data Lake for Harvesting and Distribution of Geospatial Data November 14, 2016 7 / 21
Architecture: Collection Set number of data extraction instances (Docker containers). Extraction instance scans source from list—extracts all files. Check HTTP/FTP for nested repos/links. Append to list. Create searchable TS Vector with metadata attributes of data. Store metadata, consider dataset for raw storage vs. eviction. Tyler J.

Scraping HTTP vs. Globus GridFTP Globus: HTTP: Utilize existing tools (Scrapy) Spawn list of candidate files and in-house tools to pull data. stored in publicly-accessible Trump wingdings and endpoints. Javascript-embedded files. Use Globus Transfer API Scrape context in addition to (Python) to pull all candidate content ( in early stages ). datasets from the repositories. potato Path is “Globus User ID” invisibule followed by file system’s path to ramen data.

Metadata Extraction Open each file to find key attributes. Search header for human-collected keywords. Latitude: stlat, lats, lati, stdlat, y, lt, north, NS, and N. Standardize attributes before insertion into metaDB. Create searchable indexed string: latMin55.232latMax66.000lonMin0.000lonMax180.000resolution12km. . . Compute and compare checksums. Evict or store? Tyler J. Skluzacek, Kyle Chard, Ian Foster P D SW- D ISCS 2016 Klimatic: A Virtual Data Lake for Harvesting and Distribution of Geospatial Data November 14, 2016 10 / 21
Architecture: Distribution User requests desired traits of data from GUI. Query sent to data lake. If possible, pull all candidate for an integrated dataset. Requested datasets in vector-format fitted to grid. Datasets integrated on ’snap-to-larger’ basis. Delivery in desired format. Tyler J.

Integration: Identify Necessary Data ”I want precipitation data for every Tuesday in December on/after the 10th, at latitudes 11-13 and longitude 20”. Tyler J.

Integration: Snap to Standard Grid and Merge Snap to the grid of the less-granular data. Reduced datasets merged into one. Accompanied by header to ensure integrity. Tyler J.

Evaluation Tyler J. Skluzacek, Kyle Chard, Ian Foster P D SW- D ISCS 2016 Klimatic: A Virtual Data Lake for Harvesting and Distribution of Geospatial Data November 14, 2016 16 / 21
Preliminary Results: Evaluation Run in curated experimental sandbox with known access paths. 1-4 Docker containers instantiated in a single Linux 14.04 VM (16GB, 500GB). Tyler J. Skluzacek, Kyle Chard, Ian Foster P D SW- D ISCS 2016 Klimatic: A Virtual Data Lake for Harvesting and Distribution of Geospatial Data November 14, 2016 17 / 21
Preliminary Results: Coverage 10,002 datasets extracted ( ∼ 11.5 TB). Every continent (included Anarctica) has at least 1,000 datasets. 20,000 world carbon data datasets ready for indexing ( ∼ 30,000 total). Tyler J.

Conclusion Tyler J. Skluzacek, Kyle Chard, Ian Foster P D SW- D ISCS 2016 Klimatic: A Virtual Data Lake for Harvesting and Distribution of Geospatial Data November 14, 2016 19 / 21
Conclusions and Future Work Klimatic is an effective architecture for large scientific data. Container-model is scalable across containers across nodes. Robust coverage thus far. Next Steps: Expand to other sciences’ data needs (first up: materials science). Implementation of event-based update engine for Globus GridFTP. Add support for shapefiles (bounding-box becomes ”bounding-shape”) Classify data based on content and context . Tyler J.
