<h3 id="a_idfeature_vectorsa_feature_vectors"><a id=Feature_Vectors></a> Feature Vectors</h3>
-<p>An interesting use of aggregating iterators within a Accumulo table is to store feature vectors for use in machine learning algorithms. For example, many algorithms such as k-means clustering, support vector machines, anomaly detection, etc. use the concept of a feature vector and the calculation of distance metrics to learn a particular model. The columns in a Accumulo table can be used to efficiently store sparse features and their weights to be incrementally updated via the use of an aggregating iterator. </p>

<h2 id="a_idstatistical_modelinga_statistical_modeling"><a id=Statistical_Modeling></a> Statistical Modeling</h2>
<p>Statistical models that need to be updated by many machines in parallel could be similarly stored within a Accumulo table. For example, a MapReduce job that is iteratively updating a global statistical model could have each map or reduce worker reference the parts of the model to be read and updated through an embedded Accumulo client. </p>
<p>Using Accumulo this way enables efficient and fast lookups and updates of small pieces of information in a random access pattern, which is complementary to MapReduce's sequential access model. </p>

<h2 id="a_idlogical_time_for_bulk_ingesta_logical_time_for_bulk_ingest"><a id=Logical_Time_for_Bulk_Ingest></a> Logical Time for Bulk Ingest</h2>
<p>Logical time is important for bulk imported data, for which the client code may be choosing a timestamp. At bulk import time, the user can choose to enable logical time for the set of files being imported. When its enabled, Accumulo uses a specialized system iterator to lazily set times in a bulk imported file. This mechanism guarantees that times set by unsynchronized multi-node applications (such as those running on MapReduce) will maintain some semblance of causal ordering. This mitigates the problem of the time being wrong on the system that created the file for bulk import. These times are not set when the file is imported, but whenever it is read by scans or compactions. At import, a time is obtained and always used by the specialized system iterator to set that time. </p>
-<p>The timestamp asigned by accumulo will be the same for every key in the file. This could cause problems if the file contains multiple keys that are identical except for the timestamp. In this case, the sort order of the keys will be undefined. This could occur if an insert and an update were in the same bulk import file. </p>

<h2 id="a_idmapreduce_ingesta_mapreduce_ingest"><a id=MapReduce_Ingest></a> MapReduce Ingest</h2>
<p>It is possible to efficiently write many mutations to Accumulo in parallel via a MapReduce job. In this scenario the MapReduce is written to process data that lives in HDFS and write mutations to Accumulo using the AccumuloOutputFormat. See the MapReduce section under Analytics for details. </p>

<h2 id="a_idsecure_authorizations_handlinga_secure_authorizations_handling"><a id=Secure_Authorizations_Handling></a> Secure Authorizations Handling</h2>
-<p>For applications serving many users, it is not expected that a accumulo user will be created for each application user. In this case a accumulo user with all authorizations needed by any of the applications users must be created. To service queries, the application should create a scanner with the application users authorizations. These authorizations could be obtined from a trusted 3rd party. </p>

In this case a accumulo user with all authorizations needed by any of the applications users must be created. To service queries, the application should create a scanner with the application users authorizations. These authorizations could be obtained from a trusted 3rd party. </p>
<p>Often production systems will integrate with Public-Key Infrastructure (PKI) and designate client code within the query layer to negotiate with PKI servers in order to authenticate users and retrieve their authorization tokens (credentials). This requires users to specify only the information necessary to authenticate themselves to the system. Once user identity is established, their credentials can be accessed by the client code and passed to Accumulo outside of the reach of the user. </p>
<h2 id="a_idquery_services_layera_query_services_layer"><a id=Query_Services_Layer></a> Query Services Layer</h2>
<p>Since the primary method of interaction with Accumulo is through the Java API, production environments often call for the implementation of a Query layer. This can be done using web services in containers such as Apache Tomcat, but is not a requirement. The Query Services Layer provides a mechanism for providing a platform on which user facing applications can be built. This allows the application designers to isolate potentially complex query logic, and enables a convenient point at which to perform essential security functions. </p>

<p>Iterators provide a modular mechanism for adding functionality to be executed by TabletServers when scanning or compacting data. This allows users to efficiently summarize, filter, and aggregate data. In fact, the built-in features of cell-level security and column fetching are implemented using Iterators. Some useful Iterators are provided with Accumulo and can be found in the org.apache.accumulo.core.iterators.user package. </p>

<h2 id="a_idblock_cachea_block_cache"><a id=Block_Cache></a> Block Cache</h2>
<p>In order to increase throughput of commonly accessed entries, Accumulo employs a block cache. This block cache buffers data in memory so that it doesn't have to be read off of disk. The RFile format that Accumulo prefers is a mix of index blocks and data blocks, where the index blocks are used to find the appropriate data blocks. Typical queries to Accumulo result in a binary search over several index blocks followed by a linear scan of one or more data blocks. </p>
<p>The block cache can be configured on a per-table basis, and all tablets hosted on a tablet server share a single resource pool. To configure the size of the tablet server's block cache, set the following properties: </p>

-<p>When a tablet reaches this number of files and needs to flush its in-memory data to disk, it will choose to do a merging minor compaction. A merging minor compaction will merge the tablet's smallest file with the data in memory at minor compaction time. Therefore the number of files will not grow beyond this limit. This will make minor compactions take longer, which will cause ingest performance to decrease. This can cause ingest to slow down until major compactions have enough time to catch up. When adjusting this property, also consider adjusting the compaction ratio. Ideally, merging minor compactions never need to occur and major compactions will keep up. It is possible to configure the file max and compaction ratio such that only merging minor compactions occur and major compactions never occur. This should be avoided because doing only merging minor compactions causes <img alt="$O(N^2)$" src="img2.png" /> work to be done. The amount of work done by major compactions
is <img alt="$O(N*klzzwxh:0051og_R(N))$" src="img3.png" /> where <em>R</em> is the compaction ratio. </p>

<p>Compactions can be initiated manually for a table. To initiate a minor compaction, use the flush command in the shell. To initiate a major compaction, use the compact command in the shell. The compact command will compact all tablets in a table to one file. Even tablets with one file are compacted. This is useful for the case where a major compaction filter is configured for a table. In 1.4 the ability to compact a range of a table was added. To use this feature specify start and stop rows for the compact command. This will only compact tablets that overlap the given row range. </p>

<p>Accumulo will balance and distribute tables accross servers. Before a table gets large, it will be maintained as a single tablet on a single server. This limits the speed at which data can be added or queried to the speed of a single node. To improve performance when the a table is new, or small, you can add split points and generate new tablets. </p>
