Show HN: Capillaries: Distributed data processing with Go and Cassandra
4 by kleineshertz | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I started thinking about this approach after working on a large-scale project for a major financial company where our group developed a distributed in-house data processing solution. On a regular basis, it ingested a few gigabytes of financial data and, within a tight SLA time limit, produced a lot of enriched/aggregated/validated data for a number of customers. Sometimes, source data had errors, so operators with domain knowledge had to verify data validity at some checkpoints, immediately make corrections, and re-run parts of the workflow manually. The solution involved complex web service orchestration, custom database and was very demanding on the infrastructure availability. Capillaries is a built from scratch, open-source Go solution that does just that: ingests data and applies user-defined transforms - Go one-liner expressions, Python formulas, joins, aggregations, denormalization - using Cassandra for intermediate data storage and RabbitMQ for task scheduling. End users just have to provide: - source data in CSV files; - Capillaries script (JSON file) that defines the workflow and the transforms; - Python code that performs complex calculations (only if needed). The whole data processing pipeline can be split into separate runs that can be started independently and re-run by the user if needed. The goal is to build a platform that is tolerant to database and processing node failures, and allows users to focus on data transform logic and data quality control. “Getting started” Docker-based demo calculates ARK funds performance, using EOD holdings and transactions data acquired from public sources. There are also integration tests that use non-financial data. There is a test deploy tool that uses Openstack API for provisioning in the cloud.

New Show Hacker News story: Show HN: Natural language Twitter search using Codex

Show HN: Natural language Twitter search using Codex 3 by andyk | 0 comments on Hacker News. We built a structured search engine for Twitter called Bird SQL, available at https://ift.tt/7BU0hHb . Our search interface uses OpenAI Codex to translate natural language to SQL. Our backend then verifies the SQL, executes it, and displays the results on the web app. This makes large structured datasets like a scrape of Twitter easy for anyone to explore. As background, while working on text-to-SQL as a general problem, we came to believe one of its most powerful applications is as a search tool because: - SQL is hard to write by hand and prone to errors - It allows you to iterate quickly if you’re exploring a new dataset - A lot of contextual information that you’d normally have to internalize (e.g. your data’s schema) can be automatically generated and offloaded to the language model Using large language models (LLMs) like Codex to write the SQL for you means you don’t have to worry about

New Show Hacker News story: Show HN: Movis – A Video Editing Library in Python

Show HN: Movis – A Video Editing Library in Python 2 by rezoolab | 0 comments on Hacker News. Originally, this library was created due to my motivation to make videos in Python. Of course, I considered other Python libraries, but I decided to create a new library for video editing because I needed the following features and also for study purposes: - The existence of composition. Especially, the ability to perform advanced video editing by inserting compositions within compositions. - The ability to add animations based on keyframes. - Effects like chroma key and drop shadow. - A caching mechanism to render the same frame quickly. - Various blending modes. These features, despite being standard in proprietary video editing software, were not present in previous Python libraries. Currently, I am using this library to automatically generate videos from raw materials. I would be grateful for any comments, thoughts, or requests.
