The CERN IT provides a set of Hadoop clusters featuring more than 5 PBytes of raw storage with different open-source, user-level tools available for analytical purposes. The CMS experiment started collecting a large set of computing meta-data, e.g. dataset, file access logs, since 2015. These records represent a valuable, yet scarcely investigated, set of information that needs to be cleaned, categorized and analyzed. CMS can use this information to discover useful patterns and enhance the overall efficiency of the distributed data, improve CPU and site utilization as well as tasks completion time. Here we present evaluation of Apache Spark platform for CMS needs. We discuss two main use-cases CMS analytics and ML studies where efficient process billions of records stored on HDFS plays an important role. We demonstrate that both Scala and Python (PySpark) APIs can be successfully used to execute extremely I/O intensive queries and provide valuable data insight from collected meta-data.

Experimental Particle Physics has been at the forefront of analyzing the worlds largest datasets for decades. The HEP community was among the first to develop suitable software and computing tools for this task. In recent times, new toolkits and syst
ems for distributed data processing, collectively called Big Data technologies have emerged from industry and open source projects to support the analysis of Petabyte and Exabyte datasets in industry. While the principles of data analysis in HEP have not changed (filtering and transforming experiment-specific data formats), these new technologies use different approaches and tools, promising a fresh look at analysis of very large datasets that could potentially reduce the time-to-physics with increased interactivity. Moreover these new tools are typically actively developed by large communities, often profiting of industry resources, and under open source licensing. These factors result in a boost for adoption and maturity of the tools and for the communities supporting them, at the same time helping in reducing the cost of ownership for the end-users. In this talk, we are presenting studies of using Apache Spark for end user data analysis. We are studying the HEP analysis workflow separated into two thrusts: the reduction of centrally produced experiment datasets and the end-analysis up to the publication plot. Studying the first thrust, CMS is working together with CERN openlab and Intel on the CMS Big Data Reduction Facility. The goal is to reduce 1 PB of official CMS data to 1 TB of ntuple output for analysis. We are presenting the progress of this 2-year project with first results of scaling up Spark-based HEP analysis. Studying the second thrust, we are presenting studies on using Apache Spark for a CMS Dark Matter physics search, comparing Sparks feasibility, usability and performance to the ROOT-based analysis.
We propose TRANSMUT-Spark, a tool that automates the mutation testing process of Big Data processing code within Spark programs. Apache Spark is an engine for Big Data Processing. It hides the complexity inherent to Big Data parallel and distributed
programming and processing through built-in functions, underlying parallel processes, and data management strategies. Nonetheless, programmers must cleverly combine these functions within programs and guide the engine to use the right data management strategies to exploit the large number of computational resources required by Big Data processing and avoid substantial production losses. Many programming details in data processing code within Spark programs are prone to false statements that need to be correctly and automatically tested. This paper explores the application of mutation testing in Spark programs, a fault-based testing technique that relies on fault simulation to evaluate and design test sets. The paper introduces the TRANSMUT-Spark solution for testing Spark programs. TRANSMUT-Spark automates the most laborious steps of the process and fully executes the mutation testing process. The paper describes how the tool automates the mutants generation, test execution, and adequacy analysis phases of mutation testing with TRANSMUT-Spark. It also discusses the results of experiments that were carried out to validate the tool to argue its scope and limitations.
The CMS experiment at the LHC accelerator at CERN relies on its computing infrastructure to stay at the frontier of High Energy Physics, searching for new phenomena and making discoveries. Even though computing plays a significant role in physics ana
lysis we rarely use its data to predict the system behavior itself. A basic information about computing resources, user activities and site utilization can be really useful for improving the throughput of the system and its management. In this paper, we discuss a first CMS analysis of dataset popularity based on CMS meta-data which can be used as a model for dynamic data placement and provide the foundation of data-driven approach for the CMS computing infrastructure.
Data analysis in fundamental sciences nowadays is an essential process that pushes frontiers of our knowledge and leads to new discoveries. At the same time we can see that complexity of those analyses increases fast due to a)~enormous volumes of dat
asets being analyzed, b)~variety of techniques and algorithms one have to check inside a single analysis, c)~distributed nature of research teams that requires special communication media for knowledge and information exchange between individual researchers. There is a lot of resemblance between techniques and problems arising in the areas of industrial information retrieval and particle physics. To address those problems we propose Reproducible Experiment Platform (REP), a software infrastructure to support collaborative ecosystem for computational science. It is a Python based solution for research teams that allows running computational experiments on shared datasets, obtaining repeatable results, and consistent comparisons of the obtained results. We present some key features of REP based on case studies which include trigger optimization and physics analysis studies at the LHCb experiment.
Apache Spark is a Big Data framework for working on large distributed datasets. Although widely used in the industry, it remains rather limited in the academic community or often restricted to software engineers. The goal of this paper is to show wit
h practical uses-cases that the technology is mature enough to be used without excessive programming skills by astronomers or cosmologists in order to perform standard analyses over large datasets, as those originating from future galaxy surveys. To demonstrate it, we start from a realistic simulation corresponding to 10 years of LSST data taking (6 billions of galaxies). Then, we design, optimize and benchmark a set of Spark python algorithms in order to perform standard operations as adding photometric redshift errors, measuring the selection function or computing power spectra over tomographic bins. Most of the commands execute on the full 110 GB dataset within tens of seconds and can therefore be performed interactively in order to design full-scale cosmological analyses. A jupyter notebook summarizing the analysis is available at https://github.com/astrolabsoftware/1807.03078.
