Presented by Hien Luu, Technical Lead, LinkedIn Rajasekaran Rangaswamy, LinkedIn For internet companies, marketing campaigns play an important role in acquiring new customers, retaining and engaging existing customers, and promoting new products. The LinkedIn segmentation and targeting platform helps marketing teams to easily and quickly create member segments based on member attributes using nested predicate expressions ranging from simple to complex. Once segments are created, then those qualified members are targeted with marketing campaigns. Lucene is a key piece of technology in this platform. This session will cover how we leverage Hadoop to efficiently build Lucene indexes for a large and growing member attribute data set of 225 million members, and how Lucene is used to create segments based on complex nested predicate expressions. This presentation will also share some of the lessons we learned and challenges we encountered from using Lucene to search over large data sets.

Next Steps - Distributed Model • A generic cluster management framework • Used to manage partitioned and replicated resources in distributed systems • Built on top of Zookeeper that hides the complexity of ZK primitives • Provides distributed features such as leader election, twophase commit etc. via a model of state machine http://helix.incubator.apache.org/ ©2013 LinkedIn Corporation.

- 31. DocValues – Use Case • Once segments are built, users want to forecast, see a target revenue projection for the campaigns that they want to run. • Campaigns can be run on various Revenue Models • This involves adding per member Propensity Scores and Dollar Amounts ©2013 LinkedIn Corporation. All Rights Reserved.
- 32. DocValues – Why not Stored Fields? Why not use Stored Fields? Document ID • Stored fields have one indirection per document resulting in two disk seeks per document .fdx fetch filepointer to field data .fdt scan by id until field is found • Performance cost quickly adds up when fetching millions of documents ©2013 LinkedIn Corporation. All Rights Reserved.
- 33. DocValues – Why not Field Cache? Why not use Field Cache? • Is memory resident • Works fine when there is enough memory • But keeping millions of un-inverted values in memory is impossible • Additional cost to parse values (from String and to String) ©2013 LinkedIn Corporation. All Rights Reserved.
- 34. DocValues • Dense column based storage (1 Value per Document and 1 Column per field and segment) • Accepts primitives • No conversion from/to String needed • Loads 80x-100x faster than building a FieldCache • All the work is done during Indexing • DocValue fields can be indexed and stored too ©2013 LinkedIn Corporation.
