9 Big Data Use Cases Product Metrics User behavior analysis Capacity planning Monitoring intelligence Collec9ons Query Run9me Predic9on Early Warning System Collabora9ve Filtering Search Relevancy Internal App Product feature

10 Product Metrics

11 Product Metrics Problem Statement Track feature usage/adop9on across 130k+ customers Eg: Accounts, Contacts, Visualforce, Apex, Track standard metrics across all features Eg: #Requests, #UniqueOrgs, #UniqueUsers, AvgResponseTime, Track features and metrics across all channels API, UI, Mobile Primary audience: Execu9ves, Product Managers

12 Product Metrics Pipeline User Input (Page Layout) CollaboraWon (ChaXer) Reports, Dashboards Feature Metrics (Custom Object) Trend Metrics (Custom Object) API Workflow Formula Fields API Client Machine Java Program Pig script generator Hadoop Workflow Log Pull Log Files

13 VisualizaWon (Reports & Dashboards)

14 VisualizaWon (Reports & Dashboards)

15 Collaborate, Iterate (ChaXer)

16 User Behavior Analysis

17 Problem Statement How do we reduce number of clicks on the user interface? What are the top user click path sequences? What are the user clusters/personas? Approach: Markov transi9on for click path, D3.js visuals K- means (unsupervised) clustering for user groups

18 Markov TransiWons for "Setup" pages

19 K- means clustering of "Setup" pages

24 We found this relawonship using item- to- item collaborawve filtering Amazon published this algorithm in Amazon.com RecommendaAons: Item- to- Item CollaboraAve Filtering, by Gregory Linden, Brent Smith, and Jeremy York. IEEE Internet Compu9ng, January- February At Salesforce, we adapted this algorithm for Hadoop, and we use it to recommend files to view and users to follow.

25 Example: CF on 5 files Annual Report Vision Statement Dilbert Comic Darth Vader Cartoon Disk Usage Report

26 View History Table Miranda (CEO) Annual Report Vision Statement Dilbert Cartoon Darth Vader Cartoon Disk Usage Report Bob (CFO) Susan (Sales) Chun (Sales) Alice (IT)

27 RelaWonships between the files Annual Report Vision Statement Dilbert Cartoon Darth Vader Cartoon Disk Usage Report

28 RelaWonships between the files Annual Report 2 Vision Statement Dilbert Cartoon Darth Vader Cartoon 1 1 Disk Usage Report

29 Sorted relawonships for each file Annual Report Vision Statement Dilbert Cartoon Darth Vader Cartoon Disk Usage Report Dilbert (2) Dilbert (3) Vision Stmt. (3) Dilbert (3) Dilbert (1) Vision Stmt. (2) Annual Rpt. (2) Darth Vader (3) Vision Stmt. (1) Darth Vader (1) Darth Vader (1) Annual Rpt. (2) Disk Usage (1) Disk Usage (1) The popularity problem: no9ce that Dilbert appears first in every list. This is probably not what we want. The solu9on: divide the relawonship tallies by file populariwes.

30 Normalized relawonships between the files Annual Report.82 Vision Statement Dilbert Cartoon Darth Vader Cartoon Disk Usage Report

31 Sorted relawonships for each file, normalized by file populariwes Annual Report Vision Statement Dilbert Cartoon Darth Vader Cartoon Disk Usage Report Vision Stmt. (.82) Annual Report (.82) Darth Vader (.77) Dilbert (.77) Darth Vader (.58) Dilbert (.63) Dilbert (.77) Vision Stmt. (.77) Disk Usage (.58) Dilbert (.45) Darth Vader (.33) Annual Report (.63) Vision Stmt. (.33) Disk Usage (.45) High rela9onship tallies AND similar popularity values now drive closeness.

32 The item- to- item CF algorithm 1) Compute file populari9es 2) Compute rela9onship tallies and divide by file populari9es 3) Sort and store the results

33 MapReduce Overview Map Shuffle Reduce (adapted from hsp://code.google.com/p/mapreduce- framework/wiki/ MapReduce)

34 1. Compute File PopulariWes <user, file> Inverse iden9ty map <file, List<user>> Reduce <file, (user count)> Result is a table of (file, popularity) pairs that you store in the Hadoop distributed cache.

35 Example: File popularity for Dilbert (Miranda, Dilbert), (Bob, Dilbert), (Susan, Dilbert), (Chun, Dilbert), (Alice, Dilbert) Inverse iden9ty map <Dilbert, {Miranda, Bob, Susan, Chun, Alice}> Reduce (Dilbert, 5)

36 2a. Compute relawonship tallies - find all relawonships in view history table <user, file> Iden9ty map <user, List<file>> Reduce <(file1, file2), Integer(1)>, <(file1, file3), Integer(1)>, <(file(n- 1), file(n)), Integer(1)> Rela9onships have their file IDs in alphabe9cal order to avoid double coun9ng.

37 Example 2a: Miranda s (CEO) file relawonship votes (Miranda, Annual Report), (Miranda, Vision Statement), (Miranda, Dilbert) Iden9ty map <Miranda, {Annual Report, Vision Statement, Dilbert}> Reduce <(Annual Report, Dilbert), Integer(1)>, <(Annual Report, Vision Statement), Integer(1)>, <(Dilbert, Vision Statement), Integer(1)>

38 2b. Tally the relawonship votes - just a word count, where each relawonship occurrence is a word <(file1, file2), Integer(1)> Iden9ty map <(file1, file2), List<Integer(1)> Reduce: count and divide by populari9es <file1, (file2, similarity score)>, <file2, (file1, similarity score)> Note that we emit each result twice, one for each file that belongs to a rela9onship.

39 Example 2b: the Dilbert/Darth Vader relawonship <(Dilbert, Vader), Integer(1)>, <(Dilbert, Vader), Integer(1)>, <(Dilbert, Vader), Integer(1)> Iden9ty map <(Dilbert, Vader), {1, 1, 1}> Reduce: count and divide by populari9es <Dilbert, (Vader, sqrt(3/5))>, <Vader, (Dilbert, sqrt(3/5))>

40 3. Sort and store results <file1, (file2, similarity score)> Iden9ty map <file1, List<(file2, similarity score)>> Reduce <file1, {top n similar files}> Store the results in your loca9on of choice

41 Example 3: SorWng the results for Dilbert <Dilbert, (Annual Report,.63)>, <Dilbert, (Vision Statement,.77)>, <Dilbert, (Disk Usage,.45)>, <Dilbert, (Darth Vader,.77)> Iden9ty map <Dilbert, {(Annual Report,.63), (Vision Statement,.77), (Disk Usage,.45), (Darth Vader,.77)}> Reduce <Dilbert, {Darth Vader, Vision Statement}> (Top 2 files) Store results

42 Appendix Cosine formula and normaliza9on trick to avoid the distributed cache cosθ AB = A B A B = A A B B Mahout has CF Asympto9c order of the algorithm is O(M*N 2 ) in worst case, but is helped by sparsity.
