Fast data processing with Ruby and Apache Arrow

2022-09-10

Description

I introduced Ruby and Apache Arrow integration including the "super fast large data interchange and processing" Apache Arrow feature at RubyKaigi Takeout 2021. This talk introduces how we can use the "super fast large data interchange and processing" Apache Arrow feature in Ruby. Here are some use cases: * Fast data retrieval (fast (({pluck}))) from DB such as MySQL and PostgreSQL for batch processes in a Ruby on Rails application * Fast data interchange with JavaScript for dynamic visualization in a Ruby on Rails application * Fast OLAP with in-process DB such as DuckDB and Apache Arrow DataFusion in a Ruby on Rails application or irb session

Fast data processing
高速データ処理
✓ Ruby is slow to process data
Rubyでデータを処理すると遅い
✓ Resolve in external process: (別プロセスで解決)
Use case: Web app, batch process for Web app
✓ Use fast data processing module (e.g.: DB)
DBとか速いデータ処理モジュールを使う
✓ Resolve in the same process: (プロセス内で解決)
Use cases: IRB, batch process for Web app
✓ Implement core features in other fast lang
他の速い言語でコアの機能を実装

Why don't most SQL DBs support it?
どうしてほとんどのSQL DBはサポートしていないの?
✓ Flight SQL is a new protocol
Apache Arrow Flight SQLは新しいプロトコルだから
✓ The first release: 2022-02 (最初のリリース)
✓ Still experimental (まだ実験的扱い)
✓ Tradition SQL DBs may not support
MySQL・PostgreSQLとか昔からあるSQL DBはサポートしないかも
✓ New SQL DBs will support because...
新しいSQL DBはサポートするはず。なぜなら…

Compatibility is important
互換性が重要だから
✓ New SQL DBs often use major protocols
新しいSQL DBは既存のメジャーなプロトコルを使うことが多い
✓ To reuse existing client libraries
