 Griffin","_content":"\n## Abstract\nApache Griffin is a Data Quality Service 
platform built on Apache Hadoop and Apache Spark. It provides a framework 
process for defining data quality model, executing data quality measurement, 
automating data profiling and validation, as well as a unified data quality 
visualization across multiple data systems.  It tries to address the data 
quality challenges in big data and streaming context.\n\n\n## Overview of 
Apache Griffin  \nAt eBay, when people use big data (Hadoop or other streaming 
systems), measurement of data quality is a big challenge. Different teams have 
built customized tools to detect and analyze data quality issues within their 
own domains. As a platform organization, we think of taking a platform approach 
to commonly occurring patterns. As such, we are building a
  platform to provide shared Infrastructure and generic features to solve 
common data quality pain points. This would enable us to build trusted data 
assets.\n\nCurrently it is very difficult and costly to do data quality 
validation when we have large volumes of related data flowing across 
multi-platforms (streaming and batch). Take eBay's Real-time Personalization 
Platform as a sample; Everyday we have to validate the data quality for ~600M 
records. Data quality often becomes one big challenge in this complex 
environment and massive scale.\n\nWe detect the following at eBay:\n\n1. Lack 
of an end-to-end, unified view of data quality from multiple data sources to 
target applications that takes into account the lineage of the data. This 
results in a long time to identify and fix data quality issues.\n2. Lack of a 
system to measure data quality in streaming mode through self-service. The need 
is for a system where datasets can be registered, data quality models can be 
defined, data qual
 ity can be visualized and monitored using a simple tool and teams alerted when 
an issue is detected.\n3. Lack of a Shared platform and API Service. Every team 
should not have to apply and manage own hardware and software infrastructure to 
solve this common problem.\n\nWith these in mind, we decided to build Apache 
Griffin - A data quality service that aims to solve the above 
short-comings.\n\nApache Griffin includes:\n\n**Data Quality Model Engine**: 
Apache Griffin is model driven solution, user can choose various data quality 
dimension to execute his/her data quality validation based on selected target 
data-set or source data-set ( as the golden reference data). It has 
corresponding library supporting it in back-end for the following 
measurement:\n\n - Accuracy - Does data reflect the real-world objects or a 
verifiable source\n - Completeness - Is all necessary data present\n - Validity 
-  Are all data values within the data domains specified by the business\n - 
Timeliness - Is the
  data available at the time needed\n - Anomaly detection -  Pre-built 
algorithm functions for the identification of items, events or observations 
which do not conform to an expected pattern or other items in a dataset\n - 
Data Profiling - Apply statistical analysis and assessment of data values 
within a dataset for consistency, uniqueness and logic.\n\n**Data Collection 
Layer**:\n\nWe support two kinds of data sources, batch data and real time 
data.\n\nFor batch mode, we can collect data source from  our Hadoop platform 
by various data connectors.\n\nFor real time mode, we can connect with 
messaging system like Kafka to near real time analysis.\n\n**Data Process and 
Storage Layer**:\n\nFor batch analysis, our data quality model will compute 
data quality metrics in our spark cluster based on data source in 
hadoop.\n\nFor near real time analysis, we consume data from messaging system, 
then our data quality model will compute our real time data quality metrics in 
our spark cluster. for
  data storage, we use time series database in our back end to fulfill front 
end request.\n\n**Apache Griffin Service**:\n\nWe have RESTful web services to 
accomplish all the functionalities of Apache Griffin, such as register 
data-set, create data quality model, publish metrics, retrieve metrics, add 
subscription, etc. So, the developers can develop their own user interface 
based on these web serivces.\n\n## Main business process\nHere's the business 
process diagram\n\n![](/images/Business_Process.png)\n\n## Rationale\nThe 
challenge we face at eBay is that our data volume is becoming bigger and

 Apache Griffin\n---\n\n## Abstract\nApache Griffin is a Data Quality Service 
platform built on Apache Hadoop and Apache Spark. It provides a framework 
process for defining data quality model, executing data quality measurement, 
automating data profiling and
  validation, as well as a unified data quality visualization across multiple 
data systems.  It tries to address the data quality challenges in big data and 
streaming context.\n\n\n## Overview of Apache Griffin  \nAt eBay, when people 
use big data (Hadoop or other streaming systems), measurement of data quality 
is a big challenge. Different teams have built customized tools to detect and 
analyze data quality issues within their own domains. As a platform 
organization, we think of taking a platform approach to commonly occurring 
patterns. As such, we are building a platform to provide shared Infrastructure 
and generic features to solve common data quality pain points. This would 
enable us to build trusted data assets.\n\nCurrently it is very difficult and 
costly to do data quality validation when we have large volumes of related data 
flowing across multi-platforms (streaming and batch). Take eBay's Real-time 
Personalization Platform as a sample; Everyday we have to validate the data q
 uality for ~600M records. Data quality often becomes one big challenge in this 
complex environment and massive scale.\n\nWe detect the following at 
eBay:\n\n1. Lack of an end-to-end, unified view of data quality from multiple 
data sources to target applications that takes into account the lineage of the 
data. This results in a long time to identify and fix data quality issues.\n2. 
Lack of a system to measure data quality in streaming mode through 
self-service. The need is for a system where datasets can be registered, data 
quality models can be defined, data quality can be visualized and monitored 
using a simple tool and teams alerted when an issue is detected.\n3. Lack of a 
Shared platform and API Service. Every team should not have to apply and manage 
own hardware and software infrastructure to solve this common problem.\n\nWith 
these in mind, we decided to build Apache Griffin - A data quality service that 
aims to solve the above short-comings.\n\nApache Griffin includes:\n\n**Da
 ta Quality Model Engine**: Apache Griffin is model driven solution, user can 
choose various data quality dimension to execute his/her data quality 
validation based on selected target data-set or source data-set ( as the golden 
reference data). It has corresponding library supporting it in back-end for the 
following measurement:\n\n - Accuracy - Does data reflect the real-world 
objects or a verifiable source\n - Completeness - Is all necessary data 
present\n - Validity -  Are all data values within the data domains specified 
by the business\n - Timeliness - Is the data available at the time needed\n - 
Anomaly detection -  Pre-built algorithm functions for the identification of 
items, events or observations which do not conform to an expected pattern or 
other items in a dataset\n - Data Profiling - Apply statistical analysis and 
assessment of data values within a dataset for consistency, uniqueness and 
logic.\n\n**Data Collection Layer**:\n\nWe support two kinds of data sources, 
batch
  data and real time data.\n\nFor batch mode, we can collect data source from  
our Hadoop platform by various data connectors.\n\nFor real time mode, we can 
connect with messaging system like Kafka to near real time analysis.\n\n**Data 
Process and Storage Layer**:\n\nFor batch analysis, our data quality model will 
compute data quality metrics in our spark cluster based on data source in 
hadoop.\n\nFor near real time analysis, we consume data from messaging system, 
then our data quality model will compute our real time data quality metrics in 
our spark cluster. for data storage, we use time series database in our back 
end to fulfill front end request.\n\n**Apache Griffin Service**:\n\nWe have 
RESTful web services to accomplish all the functionalities of Apache Griffin, 
such as register data-set, create data quality model, publish metrics, retrieve 
metrics, add subscription, etc. So, the developers can develop their own user 
interface based on these web serivces.\n\n## Main business pr
 ocess\nHere's the business process 
diagram\n\n![](/images/Business_Process.png)\n\n## Rationale\nThe challenge we 
face at eBay is that our data volume is becoming bigger and bigger, systems 
process become more complex, while we do not have a unified data quality 
solution to ensure the trusted data sets which provide confidences on data 
quality to our data consumers.  The key challenges on data quality 
includes:\n\n1. Existing commercial data quality solution cannot address data

Abstract\nApache Griffin is a Data Quality Service platform built on Apache 
Hadoop and Apache Spark. It provides a framework process for defining data 
quality model, executing data
  quality measurement, automating data profiling and validation, as well as a 
unified data quality visualization across multiple data systems.  It tries to 
address the data quality challenges in big data and streaming context.\n\n\n## 
Overview of Apache Griffin  \nAt eBay, when people use big data (Hadoop or 
other streaming systems), measurement of data quality is a big challenge. 
Different teams have built customized tools to detect and analyze data quality 
issues within their own domains. As a platform organization, we think of taking 
a platform approach to commonly occurring patterns. As such, we are building a 
platform to provide shared Infrastructure and generic features to solve common 
data quality pain points. This would enable us to build trusted data 
assets.\n\nCurrently it is very difficult and costly to do data quality 
validation when we have large volumes of related data flowing across 
multi-platforms (streaming and batch). Take eBay's Real-time Personalization 
Platform a
 s a sample; Everyday we have to validate the data quality for ~600M records. 
Data quality often becomes one big challenge in this complex environment and 
massive scale.\n\nWe detect the following at eBay:\n\n1. Lack of an end-to-end, 
unified view of data quality from multiple data sources to target applications 
that takes into account the lineage of the data. This results in a long time to 
identify and fix data quality issues.\n2. Lack of a system to measure data 
quality in streaming mode through self-service. The need is for a system where 
datasets can be registered, data quality models can be defined, data quality 
can be visualized and monitored using a simple tool and teams alerted when an 
issue is detected.\n3. Lack of a Shared platform and API Service. Every team 
should not have to apply and manage own hardware and software infrastructure to 
solve this common problem.\n\nWith these in mind, we decided to build Apache 
Griffin - A data quality service that aims to solve the above
  short-comings.\n\nApache Griffin includes:\n\n**Data Quality Model Engine**: 
Apache Griffin is model driven solution, user can choose various data quality 
dimension to execute his/her data quality validation based on selected target 
data-set or source data-set ( as the golden reference data). It has 
corresponding library supporting it in back-end for the following 
measurement:\n\n - Accuracy - Does data reflect the real-world objects or a 
verifiable source\n - Completeness - Is all necessary data present\n - Validity 
-  Are all data values within the data domains specified by the business\n - 
Timeliness - Is the data available at the time needed\n - Anomaly detection -  
Pre-built algorithm functions for the identification of items, events or 
observations which do not conform to an expected pattern or other items in a 
dataset\n - Data Profiling - Apply statistical analysis and assessment of data 
values within a dataset for consistency, uniqueness and logic.\n\n**Data 
Collection Laye
 r**:\n\nWe support two kinds of data sources, batch data and real time 
data.\n\nFor batch mode, we can collect data source from  our Hadoop platform 
by various data connectors.\n\nFor real time mode, we can connect with 
messaging system like Kafka to near real time analysis.\n\n**Data Process and 
Storage Layer**:\n\nFor batch analysis, our data quality model will compute 
data quality metrics in our spark cluster based on data source in 
hadoop.\n\nFor near real time analysis, we consume data from messaging system, 
then our data quality model will compute our real time data quality metrics in 
our spark cluster. for data storage, we use time series database in our back 
end to fulfill front end request.\n\n**Apache Griffin Service**:\n\nWe have 
RESTful web services to accomplish all the functionalities of Apache Griffin, 
such as register data-set, create data quality model, publish metrics, retrieve 
metrics, add subscription, etc. So, the developers can develop their own user 
interface 
 based on these web serivces.\n\n## Main business process\nHere's the business 
process diagram\n\n![](/images/Business_Process.png)\n\n## Rationale\nThe 
challenge we face at eBay is that our data volume is becoming bigger and 
bigger, systems process become more complex, while we do not have a unified 
data quality solution to ensure the trusted data sets which provide confidences 
on data quality to our data consumers.  The key challenges on data quality 
includes:\n\n1. Existing commercial data quality solution cannot address data 
quality lineage among systems, cannot scale out to support fast growing data at 
eBay\n2. Existing eBay's domain specific tools take a long time to identify and 
fix poor data quality when data flowed through multiple systems\n3. Business 
logic becomes complex, requires data quality system much flexible.\n4. Some 
data quality issues do have business impact on user experiences, revenue, 
efficiency & compliance.\n5. Communication overhead of data quality metrics,
  typically in a big organization, which involve different teams.\n\nThe idea 
of  Apache Apache Griffin is to provide Data Quality validation as a Service, 
to allow data engineers and data consumers to have:\n\n - Near real-time 
understanding of the data quality health of your data pipelines with end-to-end 
monitoring, all in one place.\n - Profiling, detecting and correlating issues 
and providing recommendations that drive rapid and focused troubleshooting\n - 
A centralized data quality model management system including rule, metadata, 
scheduler etc.  \n - Native code generation to run everywhere, including 
Hadoop, Kafka, Spark, etc.\n - One set of tools to build data quality pipelines 
across all eBay data platforms.\n\n\n## Disclaimer\n\nApache Griffin is an 
effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored 
by the Apache Incubator. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects 
until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communicat
 ions, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with 
other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a 
reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that 
the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the 
ASF.\n![](/images/egg-logo.png)\n\n","source":"_posts/home.md","raw":"---\ntitle:
