<p>Welcome to the seventh edition of the Kudu Weekly Update. This weekly blog post
covers ongoing development and news in the Apache Kudu (incubating) project.</p>

tweeting at <a href="https://twitter.com/ApacheKudu">@ApacheKudu</a>. Similarly, if you’re
aware of some Kudu news we missed, let us know so we can cover it in
a future post.</p>
<h2 id="development-discussions-and-code-in-progress">Development discussions and code in progress</h2>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Chris George completed his
<a href="http://gerrit.cloudera.org:8080/#/c/2848/">improved Spark DataSource implementation for Kudu</a>
and the new feature will be available in the upcoming 0.9.0 release.
The improved DataSource supports features such as predicate pushdown
and Chris reports that it is able to perform subsecond queries on
millions of rows of data.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>As mentioned last week, Binglin Chang has been working on and off
on a new <a href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KUDU-1235">Get API</a> for
Kudu. The purpose of this new API is to provide an optimized path for
looking up a single row.</p>
<p>In some initial benchmarking of the feature, it became apparent that Kudu’s
RPC mechanism was a scalability bottleneck on servers with 12 or more CPU
cores. With some more prototype optimizations of the RPC system, Binglin
has been able to push approximately 220K random reads per second on a single
server.</p>
<p>It may be a few more weeks before this work progresses from prototype stage
to completion, but initial results are looking quite promising.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Discussion continued on the design document for the upcoming
<a href="http://gerrit.cloudera.org:8080/#/c/2642/">Replay Cache</a> feature. This feature
was previously introduced in an <a href="http://getkudu.io/2016/04/11/weekly-update.html">earlier weekly update
post</a>
and development is now fully under way.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="on-the-kudu-blog">On the Kudu blog</h2>
<ul>
<li>Todd Lipcon wrote a post about <a href="http://getkudu.io/2016/04/26/ycsb.html">benchmarking Kudu insert performance with
YCSB</a>. This post was quite popular,
so Todd is currently working on a follow-up which will include more experiments
around Kudu configuration tuning.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="upcoming-talks-and-meetups">Upcoming talks and meetups</h2>
<ul>
<li>ApacheCon Big Data will be next week in Vancouver. As always, you can check
the <a href="http://getkudu.io/community.html">Kudu Community page</a> for an up-to-date
list of conferenace sessions and meetups near you.</li>

Apache Kudu (incubating) is an effort undergoing incubation at the Apache Software
Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator PMC. Incubation is
required of all newly accepted projects until a further review
indicates that the infrastructure, communications, 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.
