}}Cascading is a software abstraction layer for Apache Hadoop and Apache Flink. Cascading is used to create and execute complex data processing workflows on a Hadoop cluster using any JVM-based language (Java, JRuby, Clojure, etc.), hiding the underlying complexity of MapReduce jobs. It is open source and available under the Apache License. Commercial support is available from Driven, Inc.[1]

Cascading was originally authored by Chris Wensel, who later founded Concurrent, Inc, which has been re-branded as Driven.[2] Cascading is being actively developed by the community{{citation needed|date=October 2014}} and a number of add-on modules are available.[3]

Architecture

To use Cascading, Apache Hadoop must also be installed, and the Hadoop job .jar must contain the Cascading .jars. Cascading consists of a data processing API, integration API, process planner and process scheduler.

Cascading leverages the scalability of Hadoop but abstracts standard data processing operations away from underlying map and reduce tasks.[4]{{Better source|date=October 2013}} Developers use Cascading to create a .jar file that describes the required processes. It follows a ‘source-pipe-sink’ paradigm, where data is captured from sources, follows reusable ‘pipes’ that perform data analysis processes, where the results are stored in output files or ‘sinks’. Pipes are created independent from the data they will process. Once tied to data sources and sinks, it is called a ‘flow’. These flows can be grouped into a ‘cascade’, and the process scheduler will ensure a given flow does not execute until all its dependencies are satisfied. Pipes and flows can be reused and reordered to support different business needs.[5]

Developers write the code in a JVM-based language and do not need to learn MapReduce. The resulting program can be regression tested and integrated with external applications like any other Java application.[6]

Cascading is most often used for ad targeting, log file analysis, bioinformatics, machine learning, predictive analytics, web content mining, and extract, transform and load (ETL) applications.[7]

Uses of Cascading

Cascading was cited as one of the top five most powerful Hadoop projects by SD Times in 2011,[8]{{Unreliable source?|date=October 2013}} as a major open source project relevant to bioinformatics[9]{{Unreliable source?|date=October 2013}} and is included in Hadoop: A Definitive Guide, by Tom White.[10] The project has also been cited in presentations, conference proceedings and Hadoop user group meetings as a useful tool for working with Hadoop[11][12][13][14] and with Apache Spark[15]

  • MultiTool on Amazon Web Services was developed using Cascading.[16]
  • LogAnalyzer for Amazon CloudFront was developed using Cascading.[17]
  • BackType[18] - social analytics platform
  • Etsy[19] - marketplace
  • FlightCaster[20] - predicting flight delays
  • Ion Flux[21] - analyzing DNA sequence data
  • RapLeaf[22] - personalization and recommendation systems
  • Razorfish[23] - digital advertising
