Fire Insights Architecture

Fire Insights consists of three core components:

• Web Browser for defining end-to-end workflows for building data products and applications

  • The users interact with the web based drag and drop user interface for creating Datasets and Workflows

  • Workflows leverage the exhaustive set of functional and operational nodes such as Data Profiling, Data Cleaning, ETL, NLP, OCR, Machine Learning etc. displayed in the user interface.

• Web Server running on an Edge node in a Apache Spark Cluster

  • For running the workflows, they are submitted to the web server. The web server submits the workflow to the Apache Spark cluster as a spark job using spark-submit. The results of the workflow execution are streamed back and displayed in the Browser.

  • Web Server provides a host of other features likes interactive execution, schema inference and propagation, user permissions and roles, LDP integration etc.

​

• Apache Spark cluster on which the workflows are executed as Spark jobs

  • Workflows are saved in a JSON string.

  • Workflows can also be submitted on the spark cluster through spark-submit via a command line interface
