This talk describes the Splice Machine Data Platform designed to power today’s new class of Operational AI applications that require high scalability and high-availability while simultaneously executing OLTP, OLAP and ML workloads. Splice Machine is a full ANSI SQL database that is ACID compliant, supports secondary indexes, constraints, triggers, and stored procedures. It uses a unique, distributed snapshot isolation algorithm that preserves transactional integrity, and avoids the latency of 2PC methods. The talk will present how the optimizer automatically evaluates each query, and sends it to the right data flow engine. OLTP queries such as small read/writes and range queries are executed on HBase, and OLAP queries such as large joins or aggregations are executed on Spark. We present the results the CH-benCHmark at varying levels of scale-out to show how OLAP queries impact OLTP queries. We also show how the system can expose native Spark DataFrames and use embedded machine learning libraries on these DataFrames to avoid expensive serialization/deserialization. We will also describe a few use cases where Splice Machine has been deployed commercially.
