• TAP
  Trusted Analytics Platform (TAP) is open source software, optimized for performance and security, that accelerates the creation of Cloud-native applications driven by Big Data Analytics.

  TAP makes it easier for developers and data scientists at enterprises, Cloud Service Providers and System Integrators, to collaborate by providing a shared, flexible environment for advanced analytics in public and private Clouds.

  The project brings together many proven and familiar open-source components, integrating them in one platform. Its capabilities are exposed as easy-to-consume services while preserving the benefit of the many vibrant communities behind these open source projects.

• Apache Flink: Scalable Batch and Stream Data Processing
  Flink’s core is a streaming dataflow engine that provides data distribution, communication, and fault tolerance for distributed computations over data streams.

  Flink includes several APIs for creating applications that use the Flink engine:

  DataSet API for static data embedded in Java, Scala, and Python,
  DataStream API for unbounded streams embedded in Java and Scala, and
  Table API with a SQL-like expression language embedded in Java and Scala.
  Flink also bundles libraries for domain-specific use cases:

  Machine Learning library, and
  Gelly, a graph processing API and library.
  You can integrate Flink easily with other well-known open source systems both for data input and output as well as deployment.

• Storm, distributed and fault-tolerant realtime computation
  Apache Storm is a free and open source distributed realtime computation system. Storm makes it easy to reliably process unbounded streams of data, doing for realtime processing what Hadoop did for batch processing. Storm is simple, can be used with any programming language, and is a lot of fun to use!

  Storm has many use cases: realtime analytics, online machine learning, continuous computation, distributed RPC, ETL, and more. Storm is fast: a benchmark clocked it at over a million tuples processed per second per node. It is scalable, fault-tolerant, guarantees your data will be processed, and is easy to set up and operate.

• Index – Apache ZooKeeper – Apache Software Foundation
  ZooKeeper is a centralized service for maintaining configuration information, naming, providing distributed synchronization, and providing group services. All of these kinds of services are used in some form or another by distributed applications. Each time they are implemented there is a lot of work that goes into fixing the bugs and race conditions that are inevitable. Because of the difficulty of implementing these kinds of services, applications initially usually skimp on them ,which make them brittle in the presence of change and difficult to manage. Even when done correctly, different implementations of these services lead to management complexity when the applications are deployed.
  ZooKeeper aims at distilling the essence of these different services into a very simple interface to a centralized coordination service. The service itself is distributed and highly reliable. Consensus, group management, and presence protocols will be implemented by the service so that the applications do not need to implement them on their own. Application specific uses of these will consist of a mixture of specific components of Zoo Keeper and application specific conventions. ZooKeeper Recipes shows how this simple service can be used to build much more powerful abstractions.
