Unified metrics computation platform

Abstract:

A unified metrics computation platform decouples user-facing query languages from backend execution engines with the help of an intermediate platform-agnostic language, based on relational algebra procedural query language. The user needs to only specify the computation logic at a single place. By leveraging the intermediate language representation, the unified metrics computation platform can execute the same computation logic on multiple execution engines. The unified metrics computation platform unifies batch, nearline and interactive computations by automatically converting existing user defined batch logic into nearline logic. The user is presented with a unified view of the batch and nearline computation results.
