1. Read and deserialize input data.
2. Project/filter input records.
3. Shuffle: serialize it, send over the network, deserialize it.
4. Apply aggregation logic.
5. Serialize output data.

• What parameters does this model need…• during the analysis phase?• during deployment?
• Some Candidates• Lag time between events• Similarity of queries• What else?

• Core Metric: # Outputs/ # Jobs• Measure on both an individual and
aggregate level• Drive the marginal cost of asking one
additional question towards zero• Point business analysts at output
tables for interactive analysis with Impala• Self-serve BI frees up resources
(compute + data science time)
