summary
Company handles ~50 million monthly views and ~2 PB of video data, and builds a Ruby-based pipeline that collects 20x per-page events, filters with Fluentd, stores raw logs on HDFS and runs batch analysis with Hadoop/Hive and real-time joins with Storm via RedStorm on JRuby. A prototype clusters client bandwidths, reduces points for a globe dashboard, and feeds a fast rails-backed UI; experiments with GPU parallelism are ongoing.
