Explore large-scale graph analysis using Scala and Akka in this 33-minute conference talk from Scala Days New York 2016. Delve into the architecture and implementation of a graph analysis engine that leverages Scala, Akka, and HBase. Learn about the motivations behind this type of processing, implementation considerations, and the creation of a query parser and Akka cluster for processing. Discover how to produce stream output of results and gain insights into Scala, Akka, Big Data, stream processing, and graph analysis. Follow the journey from problem definition to optimization techniques, including consistent hashing and in-memory graphs. Understand the main components and concepts, such as node actors and the actor system/cluster, and explore future possibilities in this field.
