This is for people preparing to attend my talk on Deep Learning at DataWorks Summit Berling 2018 (https://dataworkssummit.com/berlin-2018/#agenda) on Thursday April 19, 2018 at 11:50AM Berlin time.

This is for running Apache MXNet on an HDF 3.1 node with Centos 7.

Let's get this installed!

git clone https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet.git

The installation instructions at Apache MXNet's website (http://mxnet.incubator.apache.org/install/index.html) are amazing. Pick your platform and your style. I am doing this the simplest way on Linux path.

We need to install OpenCV to handle images in Python. So we install that and all the build tools that OpenCV requires to build it and Apache MXNet.

HDF 3.1 / Centos 7 Setup

sudo yum groupinstall 'Development Tools' -y
sudo yum install cmake git pkgconfig -y
sudo yum install libpng-devel libjpeg-turbo-devel jasper-devel openexr-devel libtiff-devel libwebp-devel -y
sudo yum install libdc1394-devel libv4l-devel gstreamer-plugins-base-devel -y
sudo yum install gtk2-devel -y
sudo yum install tbb-devel eigen3-devel -y
pip install numpy
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/Itseez/opencv.git
cd opencv
git checkout 3.1.0
git clone https://github.com/Itseez/opencv_contrib.git
cd opencv_contrib
git checkout 3.1.0
cd ~/opencv
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE     -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local     -D OPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH=~/opencv_contrib/modules     -D INSTALL_C_EXAMPLES=OFF     -D INSTALL_PYTHON_EXAMPLES=ON     -D BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON     -D BUILD_OPENCV_PYTHON2=ON ..
sudo make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig

Apache NiFi Flow

This first flow retrieves images from the picsum.photos API, stores it locally and then runs some basic processing. The first branch extracts all the metadata we can. The second branch will call our example Inception Apache MXNet Python script for image recognition. The script returns a JSON file that we will process with the same processing code that is used by the local version of this program.

Once we funnel that out our process group, we send it to the MXNet processing group which will convert the JSON to Apache AVRO and then to Apache ORC for storage in HDFS to be used as an external Apache Hive table.
