The integral value of proactive performance monitoring when implementing AI

The integral value of proactive performance monitoring when implementing AI

Anyone seeking to educate him or herself about the evolution of artificial intelligence – its exploding acceptance and promise and its impact on large organizations – need not look far. It is the hottest topic in business today. Big data and cognitive computing solutions, such as IBM Watson, are manifestly transforming organizations at operational and strategic levels, affording unprecedented visibility into processes and data, revealing customer attitudes and behaviors, identifying patterns and trends and so much more.

However, among IT managers and system administrators, conversations turn quickly to the increased demand AI places on their infrastructures. It’s certainly one of the most pressing issues they face and raises questions about planning and the ability of technology teams to visualize and mitigate the impact of heavy data workloads on their current infrastructure. Leaving us with the questions… how can organizations best adapt or augment their current infrastructure to accommodate AI?

Without the appropriate infrastructure, organizations run the risk of adding more problems than insights. Latency, downtime, poor application performance and decreased productivity and ROI are among the pitfalls that must be avoided.

Taking the first step to a successful AI implementation

AI is not a single, monolithic application; it’s merely an umbrella label that encompasses a huge diversity of discrete applications for planning, learning, problem solving, analyzing and processing. Even though the concept of AI is relatively new, it doesn’t warrant special treatment from an infrastructure performance monitoring standpoint. IT organizations should gauge the impact specific AI applications have on their infrastructure no differently than they would any other application.

That said, those AI applications are unquestionably demanding. Most organizations deploying AI will, in fact, hit the proverbial performance wall with their current infrastructure. The solution lies in anticipating the hit and minimizing the damage.

That’s where proactive performance monitoring comes in, acting as both a collision avoidance system and, in the event of a collision, an airbag to soften the blow.

The role of proactive performance monitoring

An IT manager poised to navigate their organization through the AI journey faces two fundamental questions:

  • How well do I know my current infrastructure – its performance and utilization?
  • What impact will AI workloads have on my present environment?

Mitigating impact of AI applications requires that the infrastructure team analyze the performance and utilization of its current infrastructure, including critical elements such as network, disk, CPU, storage and memory. Assuming a proactive monitoring solution had already been deployed, the team would be able to access years of historical data, granular metrics, trends and the kind of broad, deep, predictive analytics that can alert them to potential bottlenecks in the infrastructure and provide a roadmap to successful AI application deployment.

Subsequently, in a test environment (prior to deploying the AI application into production) teams can use a proactive monitoring solution to collect performance thresholds, identify very specific benchmarks and observe how changes in the utilization of the application impacts critical infrastructure elements. IT teams can then leverage insights to:

  • Optimize infrastructure elasticity as AI application demands expand or shrink
  • Improve overall management of IT assets
  • Prevent over-provisioning
  • Right-size the IT environment in anticipation of AI application deployment

Of course, the same performance monitoring capabilities are just as important as the application moves production, providing actionable insights into distinct utilization and capacity, which they can then compare to projections. An infrastructure component tagging feature would enable the IT team to create manual or rules-based ‘tags’ of all nodes (storage, servers, databases, SAN and cloud – across operating systems) related to the AI application, review their performance and run analytics over time, all through a single dashboard.

The key to a successful AI deployment and to avoiding the infrastructure performance pitfalls is the ability to understand what impact AI workloads will have on your current infrastructure. Visibility into literally thousands of granular infrastructure performance metrics, both during the test phase and in the production environment across virtually every infrastructure component, is critical. Furthermore, to maximize the proactive and predictive value of performance metrics, there should be limitless access to historical data with various timeframes where those metrics can be collected.

Confidently explore your AI deployment options.

Because complex IT environments make performance management a difficult and expensive task, enterprises need a single solution that provides intelligent predictive analytics to inform and pinpoint potential problems before they occur and to empower better decision-making. Experimentation with server infrastructure to run these new workloads is quick and intuitive with Galileo Performance Explorer, yielding data for specific configurations, CPU characteristics and I/O capabilities.

Galileo is a division of the ATS Group, LLC (an IBM Gold Partner) and supports IBM’s aggressive push in the AI space with Watson and the Power8 and Power9 processors. Simply put, IBM delivers machine learning “in a box” with their Power servers. Power9 is specifically engineered and optimized for machine learning and AI workloads, delivering high throughput, reduced latency, optimal I/O and four GPUs in the server. With Galileo, IT teams can easily monitor and manage all versions of IBM Power.

Gain the competitive advantage without jeopardizing performance.

Galileo Performance Explorer supports the efforts of IT administrators to re-imagine their technology stack and optimize it for AI workloads. With Galileo’s SaaS-based solution, organizations can:

  • Perform trial and error testing across all assets (servers, storage, database and SAN), both on-premises and in the cloud
  • Determine if current assets will accommodate AI workloads
  • Comprehensively plan for AI workloads and help structure the appropriate infrastructure transformation

Organization must take a proactive approach to their AI infrastructure. With Galileo, IT teams can optimize utilization, increase agility and meet time-to-market pressures. In doing so, these organizations can effectively balance IT maintenance with innovation and drive the digital initiatives that propel business growth and the competitive advantage.

    How about and AR (augmented reality) point of view? Galileo does an awesome job data mining performance attributes, physical touch points, and firmware levels of a CI. Image of you could overlay or “augment” the CI and view results. Keep up the good work. I would like to read what your thoughts are on the (AR) and how Galileo could aid feedback.

Kadokawa Gempak Starz Produced A VR Experience, Lost Legends Vertical Raid

Ever since being owned by Japanese conglomerate Kadokawa, Kadokawa Gempak Starz have been on a roll with the variety of projects they undertake outside of their main business in producing and localising comics as well as running the name sake magazine. They have dabbled in mobile apps and games, but at Comic Fiesta 2016 they debuted a VR experience based on the Lost Legends series called Lost Legends Vertical Raid.

By any standards this VR experience does nothing new in the VR space, but it is essentially a kickstart for the developers, Amazing Newstar, to explore and get familiar with VR development. The experience involves picking up and then dual wielding guns, a walk on a ledge and some shooting in a snowy landscape while a floating robot guides you with a soothing voice.

The booth space for Lost Legends: Vertical Raid is actually pretty large (not seen here), and seen here is the HTC Vive and the PC used adorned with the familiar Gempak Starz logo

To be honest, we did not walk away impressed with the quality of the experience as we experienced framerate stutters (which really took out the immersion) and something was off with shooting the guns- the projectiles seems to shoot at an angle rather than straight out of the guns making aiming difficult. This could either be intended by design or some issues with tracking- the experience was running on HTC Vive in a huge hall at Comic Fiesta where interference with the Lighthouse sensors could possibly happen. We were explained that the experienced was all made in under 4 months, so this not as polished as we were expected.

Then again, despite its shortcomings, Lost Legends Vertical Raid could be the signs to come of greater things to come. We met and spoke to Chris Yew, CEO of Kadokawa Gempak Starz on the VR experience. The company is currently exploring the possibilities of VR and AR and look for its applications outside of just gaming- other fields could benefit with its use such as education. So don’t expect a bunch of VR games from them just yet as they plan to see the market for VR games develops while also pursuing in non-gaming related projects.

While we walked out unimpressed with Lost Legends: Vertical Raid, we certainly are interested with where Kadokawa Gempak Starz is going right now. Lost Legends: Vertical Raid certainly is a sign of more local companies taking advantage of VR. While the experience is only available at Comic Fiesta booth for now, they do have plans on releasing it on Steam to get more feedback and see what they can improve on. Hopefully it will be better than what we tried out here, though it should be a blast to those unfamiliar with VR.

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey: How to knock out enemies in Fate of Atlantis DLC

Take down enemies without killing them

Knocking enemies out in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey: Fate of Atlantis DLC is important and I don’t want to spoil it here. Instead of killing your enemies in the DLC, there are few different approaches and this AC Odyssey DLC guide will show you how to knock out your enemies without alerting or killing other ancient super soldiers.

How to knock out enemies in Fate of Atlantis DLC

Fields of Elysium is the first episode of The Fate of Atlantis story arc for Assassin’s Creed Odyssey which sends Alexios or Kassandra on a quest into the Greek afterlife. The new region is filled with strange new enemies to fight, new powers to unlock, and an expansive new storyline centered on the mysterious First Civilization, or Isu. There are 3 way to knock DLC enemies:

Knock out with Fists

The Melee attacks are the easiest way to knock out an enemy in AC Odyssey without killing them. TO use your fist, you must use the inventory menu then unequip one of your weapon slots and swap to your fists with the d-pad. Sneak behind your enemy then relentlessly attack until they’re knocked out. Make sure you don’t use poison or fire otherwise they’ll die.

Knock out with Bow

A very easy trick, but you need to invest in the hunter skill tree for alternate arrows. Check the second tier and select the “Arrow Master”. Now you must craft the paralyzing arrow from the bag near your bow slot in the inventory menu. Start your hunt and aim right on the enemy shoulders.

- Sponsored -

Knock out with Stealth

If you are not opting for Fist and Arrows then the easiest trick is stealth attack. Those who are good at stealth and sneaking behind the enemies then this will work best for you. Simply get behind an enemy quietly and press L3 to initiate knockout instead of a stealth kill. The catch here is that you only have one go, so if you encounter a high-level Atlantis DLC enemies then they might just shrug it off and you can then switch to fist again.

The fate of Atlantis DLC Details Ability Enhancements

Aletheia has created the simulation for Kassandra or Alexios to begin unlocking advanced First Civilization powers. You can unlock four Keeper’s Insights, secret tablets that unlock enhanced versions of your existing Abilities. In Fields of Elysium include the following abilities:

Ares Madness: Replacing Battlecry of Ares, Ares Madness lets you conjure a glowing, unbroken version of the Spear of Leonidas for 10 seconds, during which you’ll deal 35% Assassin damage and be immune to death.

Might of Artemis: This enhancement modifies Rain of Destruction, turning it into a super attack that surrounds you with a rain of arrows that dish out 450% Hunter damage and stun enemies for five seconds.

Kronos Time Warp: This enhancement to Slow Time shortens the base window of slowed time from 10 seconds to five, but you can extend it by 2.5 seconds by successfully landing headshots. Each of those headshots deals 125% Hunter damage, and you can score up to five before the Ability wears off, meaning a skilled archer can slow time for up to 17.5 seconds.

Ares Bull Charge: Instead of sending you barreling into your enemies, this upgraded version of Bull Charge summons a phantom bull to do it for you, knocking them down and dealing 400% Warrior damage.

If you are still unable to access the DLC, then check our guide on how to start the Fate of Atlantis DLC. Also, check our complete guides, trick, and cheats for Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.

Keep your garden growing - see what to plant right now

Growing Celery

Jan F M A M J J A S O N Dec
  S S   T T

(Best months for growing Celery in USA - Zone 5a regions)

S = Plant undercover in seed trays T = Plant out (transplant) seedlings

  • Grow in seed trays, and plant out in 4-6 weeks. Sow seed at a depth approximately three times the diameter of the seed. Best planted at soil temperatures between 54°F and 70°F. (Show °C/cm)
  • Space plants: 6 - 12 inches apart
  • Harvest in 17-18 weeks.
  • Compatible with (can grow beside): Not applicable as celery needs to be close together to encourage blanching.
  • Avoid growing close to: Sweetcorn
  • Celery seedlings

Most varieties improve with blanching but there are some self-blanching varieties available. To Blanch: plant in trenches 15- 20 cm (6-8 in) deep and 20cm (8in) apart. Leave about 40 cm (17 in) between rows. Fill the trenches gradually and keep well watered as the plants grow. The plants can be lifted as needed after about 11 weeks. Alternatively wrap the plants in sleeves of paper or black plastic.

Celery needs moist fertile soil.

Culinary hints - cooking and eating Celery

Chop and use raw in salad or braised in hot dishes.

Easy Eight Jagdtiger Hit/Damage chart

Going through my folders today I found this Hit/Damage chart for the Jagdtiger.  Figure a few people will be happy to see this chart.

Romano British or Late Romans uniforms

Last night I spent several hours talking with my old friend Antons about Romano Britsh and Dux Britanniarum.   Anton has painted up a huge amount of Romano troops.   Remembering I had the rules he thought be the time to Dux a go.   It seems between us we have a group number of Saxons, Normans, vikings and etc.  Looks like time to dust off the troops.   During the search on my computer for the rules I found a large number of images have for the Late Romans.   Here they are.

More Nuclear Power – No Geologic Repository

President Obama’s decision to cut funding to Yucca Mountain has, for me, been the most disappointing decision he has made so far in his presidency. And yet he has also professed his desire to increase the use of Nuclear Power Plants to meet the United States’ energy needs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Well, in my opinion, you can’t have it both ways.

People are concerned about the security risks of transporting spent nuclear fuel, and possible long term environmental risks. What about the risks of hundreds of “Obama Barrels” (to borrow a phrase by geoblogger Ontario-geofish) littered around our nuclear power plants for the next hundred years. posted this CNN video showing the dry storage of spent Nuclear Fuel at a Chicago area nuclear power plant. Check it out. Sorry about the rant, but this topic is a hot button with me.

Michigan’s Experts in...

  • Basement Waterproofing & Leak Repair
  • Crawl Space Waterproofing & Encapsulation
  • Foundation Repair & Waterproofing
  • Crack Repair

Know the Dangers & Warning Signs

Is your basement wet, leaky, and damp? Are you constantly running a dehumidifier down there, yet it never seems to dry the space out? What about nagging musty and moldy smells that just won’t go away? You may need a waterproofing foundation service at your home. If left unfixed, water in your basement can lead to bigger, more expensive issues that threaten not only your home, but your family’s health.

Dangers Include:
  • Rot
  • Mold and Mildew
  • Structural Damage
  • Dust Mites, Rodents, and Other Pests
Possible Warning Signs:
  • Wet, Damp, or Leaky Basement Floor, Walls, or Windows
  • Pooling or Standing Water
  • Crystalline Deposits on Concrete Surfaces
  • Condensation
  • Sump Pump Issues
A wet basement is more than just a nuisance. Make sure you’re prepared with a waterproof foundation service in Michigan from DryHouse!

Why Do You Need Waterproof Foundation Services?

    1. The presence of constant moisture is a breeding ground for mold and rot, the latter of which can lead to structural damage. Foundation waterproofing is your best bet to prevent potential issues while preserving the health of your home

    your family.

  1. Mold Grows Easily: To grow, mold only needs mild temperatures, some humidity in the air, and a food source – which includes items commonly stored in basements such as cardboard storage boxes.
  2. Lower Energy Costs: Foundation waterproofing promotes energy efficiency. Moisture in the basement will infiltrate the rest of your home and ultimately cause your air conditioner to work harder in the summer.
  3. More Usable Space: A basement in which you can breathe easy is a basement that can be used to increase your living space. From a home theater to a kid’s play area, the possibilities are endless!
  4. Peace of Mind: Foundation waterproofing means you don’t have to worry that the belongings you store down there will be at risk during every rainstorm.
  5. Protect Your Investment: If you wish to sell your home someday, savvy consumers won’t bite. They know the warning signs of wet basements (high-water marks on walls, musty odors, etc.). Failure to disclose basement issues can also leave homeowners at risk for lawsuits.

NPPL(SSEA) & LAPL(A) Syllabus

Microlight to Light Aircraft Conversion

Conversion from NPPL(M) to NPPL(SSEA)

You must carry out such SSEA conversion training as is judged necessary by the flying instructor conducting the training to achieve the required standard for the applicant to take the NPPL NST and GST in a SSEA, normally this is about 10 hours.

The training must include:

1.  Not less than 1 hour of dual instrument appreciation
2.  2 hours stall awareness/spin avoidance training
3. Differences training for Microlight pilots whose Microlight flying has been solely on flexwing aircraft
4. Not less than the 32 hours required minimum total flight time for the NPPL with SSEA Class Rating, which may be a combination of both Microlight and SSEA flying.
5. Pass the JAR-FCL PPL (A) theoretical examination in Aircraft (General)
6. Pass the JAR-FCL PPL (A) theoretical examination Principles of Flight
7. Hold a valid NPPL Medical Declaration or JAA Class 1 or 2 medical certificate
8. Pass the NPPL NST
9. Pass the GST in a SSEA

For the holder of a PPL (M) with operating restrictions, the requirements shall further include:
1. The whole of the navigation training required for the NPPL with SSEA Class Rating
2. The completion of a minimum of 10 hours total solo flying which may be a combination of Microlight and SSEA flying.

keeping the SSEA:

HOLDERS OF MORE THAN ONE NPPL CLASS RATING. The holder of more than one NPPL Aeroplane Class rating may use experience gained in aircraft of all NPPL Classes towards the revalidation by experience of any one Class however the minimum flight time required to revalidate by experience in any particular Class is 1 hour as Pilot in Command or 1 hour of flying training with an instructor in that Class. Details of experience required for multiple rating holders are published in CAP 393 Schedule

Note: If you only hold the SSEA rating without a Microlight rating on your NPPL you cannot fly Microlights

The SSEA and SLMG Class Ratings do not entitle the holder to fly microlights. If you only hold a NPPL with a SSEA or SLMG Class Rating you must add a Microlight Class Rating if you want to fly microlights. Hours flown in any Class can be used towards maintaining other NPPL Class Ratings.

Conversion from NPPL(SSEA) to LAPL(A)

1. Gain a LAPL medical or class 1 or 2 Medical
2. Complete the paperwork exercise on the CAA website.

Note: to keep your LAPL your hours must be on type.

Unlike the NPPL(SSEA) the LAPL allows you to fly Annex ii aircraft with only difference training, Annex ii includes Microlights.

Craft Gin Club – Gin in the post!

Yes, it is as good as it sounds.

I’ve signed up to the Craft Gin Club (website here) who offer gin of the month subscriptions. You can choose between monthly, bi-monthly or quarterly subscriptions (I signed up to quarterly and am already considering an upgrade), then at the frequency of your choice some lovely gin and other goodies will be delivered to your door! The gins are all carefully selected with an obvious passion for craft gins and a preference for small-batch distillers. Alongside the gin of the month you will receive a copy of Ginned! magazine with information about that month’s gin, suggested serves, cocktail recipes and gin articles. You will also receive a “range of complementary gourmet treats”.

In September’s box I received a full size Conker Spirit Gin (a very nice classical gin, elevated with local Dorset botanicals), Ginned! magazine, a sample of Conker Spirit Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur (their new venture – a coffee liqueur that actually tastes of coffee and not just sugar), a BTW tonic water, a bag of Manomasa tortillas and a bar of Divine cappuccino chocolate. All the additional items seem to be thoughtfully selected with that month’s gin/theme in mind; in the magazine you will find information about all of them and why they have been chosen.

Each month they hide a golden ticket inside one lucky subscriber’s box who will win a one-off, special prize.

You can look back at the gins of months past on their website and they all look interesting and unlikely to be found on supermarket shelves. I really wish I had signed up sooner and received June’s box with the Warner Edwards HoneyBee gin, I’m very keen to try this as I am a big fan of the first gin in their Botanical Garden range – the Melissa gin. Unless I upgrade my frequency in the meantime the next box I receive will be December. I’m hoping for a great, off-the-beaten-track gin rather than a Christmas Pudding flavoured one!

Developers Guide

for version 0.4.0

This is a short development guide that offers some insights into the structure and architecture of C3PO. If you want to contribute or develop your own features, you are at the right place and you are awesome. If you have any questions after reading this guide, please don't hesitate to contact me at my email address or via twitter @peshkira.

Want to contribute

Well, thank You! You are awesome!

  1. Fork this repository and clone your own fork (also star it :P).
  2. Finish reading this guide :).
  3. The master branch contains the last stable release. Usually there is an integration branch that has the bleeding edge of the code. Decide from which state you want to do your new feature and create branch for your pull request (PR) from that stage.
  4. #DEV HACK
  5. Once your feature is ready, please create a PR from your branch to the integration branch of this fork. (If for some reason there is no integration branch does not exists, then you can create a PR to master)

I will then review your code and merge it, or give you feedback. If you have any questions please contact me. Also, if you find any issues, please report them here in this repository (issues are enabled).

C3PO is released under the Apache 2.0 License from version 0.4.0.

System Architecture

Ok, let's dive in. In order to get an overview of the system architecture take a look at the following stack diagram: C3PO Architecture

Logically C3PO is divided into three (vertical) modules.

Data Model

The data model module, the core module and the applications module. On the bottom there are is a simple data model that encapsulates digital objects (we call them __Element__s), their meta data properties and values and some simple provenance information.

The core module lies on top of that. It offers many different interfaces for processing and analysing the meta data.

Gatherer On the left is the Gatherer. It is a interface that knows how to connect to a source and read in some raw meta data. Currently there is a single implementation of this interface and it is the LocalFileGatherer, which traverses the file system and reads in meta data files and archive files (containing meta data).

Adaptors The next component in the core module are the adaptors. The adaptors are responsible for translating the raw meta data (that was gathered before) into the internal data model of C3PO. Every adaptor has to extend the AbstractAdaptor class and to implement its abstract methods. In version 0.4.0 C3PO has two adaptors. One for FITS files and one for raw Apache TIKA files. Read on to see how you can implement an adaptor for any other type of meta data that you want to support.

Analysis The analysis component offers a set of interfaces that can do some interesting things with the data. For example, it can generate an aggregated profile of the meta data (in a specified XML format), or it can select sample objects from your meta data collections that are representative to the whole collection. There are some other features implemented here, such as the CSV export and some of the aggregations.

Persistence This component offers an interface for reading and writing data (from the data model) to and from a back-end data store. C3PO currently has a default persistence implementation for a MongoDB data store. If you want to extend it, you will have to implement the PersistenceLayer interface. Read on to see how to do that.

Controller On top of these components, there is a Controller that exposes them to other parts of the system and acts as a facade to this functionality.

The last (vertical) part of C3PO is the applications layer. C3PO has two (three) applications - a command line interface (for near data processing), a web application (for data visualisation) and a REST interface (for integration with other services, e.g.: Plato and Scout

Project Structure

C3PO is built and organised with Maven. Well, most of it. Here is the current structure.

|-- c3po-api     - has all interfaces and some abstract implementations
|-- c3po-core    - has all the business logic and all implementations
|-- c3po-cmd     - has a few commands and a CLI parser
|-- c3po-webapi  - the web application and REST api

The first three subfolders are maven modules (api, core and cmd). The last one is not, because it is a play project and I didn't find any good maven play plugins at the time of creation. If you want to mavenize it, feel free to contribute.

Java Docs

If you need the java docs online, look no more: Java Docs

How to build

Well, import the project in your favourite IDE (I use Eclipse). Then you can use a Maven plugin or Maven from the command line.

In order to build the app use mvn clean install. If you are on the master branch, then this should work without any additional effort. If you are on any other branch, there might be some failing tests. If that is the case (consider fixing them ;) ), you can use mvn clean install -Dmaven.test.skip

In order to package the command line app into an executable jar, navigate to the cmd project and run mvn assembly:assembly. This will create a jar with dependencies in the target folder. Just run it with java -jar c3po-0.4.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar and you will get some usage info.

In order to run the play app in development mode, you will need the play framework (currently we use 2.0.4). Once you install it, just navigate to the webapi folder and execute play run. This will build the app and run it in development mode. All changes you make to the webapi will be immediately visible upon refresh.

Note that the web app is not yet in version 0.4.0 and you have to use the old version 0.3.0 as libraries.

Extension Points

Ok there are a few extension points, where you might want to contribute. You can add new Adaptor (you get 1 hug), or you can add a new Gatherer (more hugs), or you can add a new persistence layer - e.g. HBase (you get 3 hugs and a couple of beer when you visit Vienna, Austria). Of course you can tinker with the implementation and add any new feature you desire. In the latter case consider looking at the ROADMAP for inspiration.

How do I create a new Adaptor?

Well for starters you have to understand the data model of C3PO. Every digital object in C3PO is represented by the com.petpet.c3po.api.model.Element class. Every element has a collection to which it belongs a name (does not have to be unique, but it is not a bad idea), a unique identifier and a List of com.petpet.c3po.api.model.MetadataRecord. Every MetadataRecord represents a single value for a given property. MetadataRecords have a Property, a value (in a String form), a status and a list of sources.

If you want to create an adaptor, you will have to think about a way to map the raw meta data that you have to this model. Once you have done this, your job is simple. You just have to extend the AbstractAdaptor class and implement its abstract methods.

public class MyAdaptor extends AbstractAdaptor {

  public void configure() {
    // called once when the adaptor is initialised.
    // use it to read the configurations and setup your adaptor

  public String getAdaptorPrefix() {
    // a prefix to denote this adaptor.
    return "myadaptor";

  public Element parseElement( String name, String data ) {
    // parse the data here and create a new Element and add it to it...
    Element e = new Element("some-uid", "some name");
    return e;

The name in the parseElement method is the file/object name, which often hast some important information (the name itself, maybe a uid, maybe a collection name, or a timestamp, etc. The data string is the raw content of your meta data file that you have to parse. At the end you return the Element and that is it!

In order to make sure C3PO uses your adaptor, you will have to do one last (one-line) change to the com.petpet.c3po.Controller, as it currently does not load Adaptors dynamically from the class path. Just add the following line within the Controller constructor at the appropriate place to register your adaptor.

this.knownAdaptors.put( "MyAdaptor", MyAdaptor.class );

  1. What are the other methods for? The getAdaptorPrefix() should return a simple string denoting this adaptor. Why is it important? Because you can use it to pass configuration to your adaptor. The second abstract method configure will be called exactly once before the adaptor is initialised and submitted to run. In there you can use the protected methods of the AbstractAdaptor to obtain the values for your adaptor config and do some stuff with them. The adaptor will have access to all configs starting with c3po.adaptor and c3po.adaptor.[prefix] where the prefix is the thing you return in the getAdaptorPrefix() method.

  2. The power of C3PO (and FITS) is that it offers a unified view over the data. Meaning that properties that denote the same concepts are always merged into one property before persisting. That is why it is important you use the properties C3PO already knows. How the hell, do I know what properties does C3PO already support? Take a look at the file and the file. It is a good start. If you have new properties, that are not listed there - no problem, just use them in your MetadataRecords.

  3. How do I create a new Property? Use the protected getCache method from the adaptor class. It offers you methods for obtaining Source and Property objects. If these are not found in the cache, they will be retrieved from the DB and if not in the DB - a new property will be generated for you.

  4. PreProcessingRules, what are they and should I use them in my adaptor? Well, yes it is advisable you use them, but it is not critical. The Abstract Adaptor will give you a set of preprocessing rules (sorted descending by priority). Every ProcessingRule has a simple method that gives you a hint if you should skip the given value or not.

  5. As adaptors are not dynamically pluggable, you will have to add the Adaptor in the Controller - just take a look there and see how the other adaptors are bound.

How do I add a new Gatherer?

Just extend the interface and you are ready to go. Note, that you will have to change the Controller a bit if you want to use your new gatherer, as it is not loaded dynamically. Consider adding a CLI option for selecting the correct gatherer.

public interface MetaDataGatherer extends Runnable {

  void setConfig( Map<String, String> config );

  MetadataStream getNext();

  boolean hasNext();

  boolean isReady();

Notice the com.petpet.c3po.api.model.helper.MetadataStream interface that is returned by the getNext() method. If you have some special gatherer, you might want to subclass it and do the reading once its getData() method is called. However, if you can access the data locally, you can use the default implementation FileMetadataStream object.

How do I implement a new PersistenceLayer?

This is a bigger task. Basically, you have to implement one interface, however you will have to think of a way to map the Model classes to the data store and implement the serializers and deserializers for all of the Model classes.

Here is the interface, you have to implement:

import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;

import com.petpet.c3po.api.model.Model;
import com.petpet.c3po.api.model.Property;
import com.petpet.c3po.api.model.helper.Filter;
import com.petpet.c3po.api.model.helper.NumericStatistics;
import com.petpet.c3po.utils.exceptions.C3POPersistenceException;

public class MyPersistenceLayer implements PersistenceLayer {

  public void clearCache() {
    // clears the cache and all internally managed cached results

  public void close() throws C3POPersistenceException {
    // called when the connection to the datastore should be closed.

  public <T extends Model> long count( Class<T> clazz, Filter filter ) {
    // counts all occurrences of the given T (subclass of Model) that are matched by the given filter
    return 0;

  public void establishConnection( Map<String, String> config ) throws C3POPersistenceException {
    // called when a connection to the data store has to be established.

  public <T extends Model> Iterator<T> find( Class<T> clazz, Filter filter ) {
    // finds all occurrences of the given T (sublcass of Model) that match the filter
    // and retrieves an iterator over them.
    return null;

  public <T extends Model> List<String> distinct( Class<T> clazz, String f, Filter filter ) {
    // finds a list of distinct strings for the given field of the given Model class matching
    // the given filter.
    return null;

  public Cache getCache() {
    // obtains the cache
    return null;

  public NumericStatistics getNumericStatistics( Property p, Filter filter ) throws UnsupportedOperationException, IllegalArgumentException {
    // gets the numerical statistics for the given property of the Element class
    // according to the given filter
    return null;

  public <T extends Model> Map<String, Long> getValueHistogramFor( Property p, Filter filter )
      throws UnsupportedOperationException {
    // gets the value histogram for the given property of the Element class
    // according to the given filter
    return null;

  public <T extends Model> void insert( T object ) {
    // inserts T into the data store

  public boolean isConnected() {
    //checks if the connection to the data store is open
    return false;

  public <T extends Model> void remove( Class<T> clazz, Filter filter ) {
    // removes all Model objects of the given class matching the filter

  public <T extends Model> void remove( T object ) {
    // removes the given object

  public void setCache( Cache c ) {
    // sets the current cache

  public <T extends Model> void update( T object, Filter f ) {
    // updates all objects matching the filter with the given object

You might have noticed that some of these methods accept a com.petpet.c3po.api.model.helper.Filter object. The filter is a simple wrapper around a query. You will have to write a FilterSerializer that knows how to translate the filter into a data store query. The convention of what a Filter means is as follows:

The persistence layer provider should interpret the conditions by logically concatenating all conditions with an AND. If two or more filter conditions apply to the same property, then they should be applied with a logical OR. Consider the following example where we want to filter all objects from a collection 'A' that have either text/html or text/xml mimetype. In such a case the filter that will be passed to the PersistenceLayer will have three com.petpet.c3po.api.model.helper.FilterCondition objects:

first - property is 'collection' and value is 'A'
second - property is 'mimetype' and value is 'text/html'
third - property is 'mimetype' and value is 'text/xml'

Consider now that the same filter has to be applied but it has go over both collection 'A' and collection 'B'. The caller has to include an additional FilterCondition where the property is 'collection' and the value is 'B' and the interpreter of this filter should use a logical OR for the collection property as well.

Additionally, if a condition of the filter has a null value for a given field, then this has to be interpreted as: where any given value exists for this property. For example, if a condition has a property 'mimetype' and a value 'null', then the filter should interpret where the searched objects have a mimetype field that exists.

Note that a filter might also contain a com.petpet.c3po.api.model.helper.BetweenFilterCondition object for numeric properties and this should be interpreted accordingly.

  • For the tests, mongo will need to run. If it is not running, the tests will be skipped (no failures will be reported)
  • If you hack on the web app and for some reason you need to change something in the other projects api or core, you will have to regenerate the jars again and copy them to the lib folder of the webapi project. (This has to be done, because there is no maven repository for the c3po libraries.) If you do this, you will have to restart the app unfortunately. This won't be valid from version 0.4.0 of the Web APP.

In recent years, I have always been travelling during the summer months, but I realised there are so many destinations which are still hot during September, October and November. This year, I am planning to go somewhere sunny during the Autumn, and I would strongly recommend you do the same! Here are some of my beach essentials that I have been loving during the past few months. Enjoy!

Nuxe Shimmering Dry Huile Prodigieuse Or

You know that golden glow everyone wants? You can now recreate it on your skin, even if you are not tanned, using the Shimmering Dry Huile Prodigieuse Or from Nuxe. The nourishing oil is filled with thousands of shimmering particles which make your skin sparkle. It smells lovely too, so you can layer you scents on top.

Available from Nuxe Website for £34/100ml. I strongly suggest you order from Nuxe’s website directly as they have an amazing loyalty club, and there are always fantastic discounts and offers available so you get lots of gifts 🙂

Glossier Coconut Balm Dotcom

In the last month, I spent two weeks on the beach, mostly in the water, kitesurfing. Last year I felt that the salt water, sun and wind really dry out my skin, hair and lips, so this time I compiled together very hydrating products. The lip balm from Glossier really worked wonders, and kept my lips hydrated throughout the day. I am a huge fan of the coconut flavour as it smells and tastes amazing. Available from Glossier Website for £10.

L’Oreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil

This is one of my favourite hair products of all times. I literally use it every single day to provide moisture and nutrients to my hair. It contains a precious blend of 6 flower extracts ideal for hydrating the hair, smoothing down the frizz and adding that healthy glow.

It is designed for all hair types so I always recommend it to anyone, as it can be used before shampooing as a mask, pre-styling or as a finishing touch to any hairstyle. Also this product is a total bargain! Available from Boots for £6.66.

Nuxe Hair Protection

It is crucial to really take care of your hair if you do water sports in order to protect them from the damaging effects of the salt water, the wind and the sun. Every time I go on a surfing trip, I take a hair protective product with me. I must say, I really liked the Hair Protection from Nuxe as it hydrates the hair, and stays on during the day thanks to its oily composition.

As all Nuxe products, it smells wonderfully, and I received a lot of compliments about the scent on the beach. After a week of kitesurfing, my hair looked fabulous, hydrated and was super shiny. A summer must- have! Available from Nuxe Website for £10.50.

Nivea Sun Q10 Anti-Age & Anti Pigments Face Cream SPF50

I am obsessed when it comes to sunscreen, and I usually avoid exposing my face to the sun whenever possible, however if you love water sports, you will end up in the sun most of the time. It is super important to choose high quality sunscreen to avoid any pigmentation and early signs of ageing.

The product I recently discovered and absolutely adored is the Nivea Sun Q10 Anti-Age & Anti Pigments Face Cream SPF50. It has a high UVA/UVB protection against sunburns and premature skin ageing, and the Q10 formula helps to prevent wrinkles as well as pigment spots. The cream itself has a pleasant smell, and leaves the skin feeling soft and hydrated. As I usually spent two hours in the water without a break I also needed something which wouldn’t melt away, and this cream was perfect. I will definitely repurchase it. Available from Boots for £8.

Nivea Sun Moisture Mousse Face Cream SPF50

This is another sunscreen that worked very well for me during my trip. It is super light, easy to apply and gets absorbed easily into the skin. It did not leave any white residue on my skin and I definitely did not feel like I had any sunscreen on. I must say that both of the creams from Nivea were amazing, and when in the water, I did not feel like they were being washed away easily. If I will go again on holiday in October, these will definitely be in my beach bag! Available from Boots for £8.

Omorovicza Queen Of Hungary Face Mist

One thing I never leave my home without is a face mist. I am obsessed with the Omorovicza Queen of Hungary Mist as it is super refreshing, and it smells beautifully! It contains nourishing blend of Rose, Sage an Orange Blossom Waters which not only revitalise your skin, but leave it feeling hydrated. The mist contains Omorovicza’s Healing Concentrate which infuses minerals deep into the skin, and helps to keep it youthful.

I constantly use this mist during the summer months, as it really relaxes me, and calms me down. It is ideal for long days on the beach when you need to feel fresh and gorgeous! The glass bottle is also dreamy, and feels super luxurious!  Omorovicza Queen Of Hungary Mist is available from Look Fantastic for £50.

No7 Protect & Perfect Intense Advanced BB Facial Sun Protection SPF50 Fair

I never wear makeup to the beach, but one product I love using is a BB Sunscreen. I recently tried the one from No7, and I think it works very well with my skin tone. The BB cream brightened my complexion, giving it a healthy, tinted glow. Another reason I chose this product is that it has SPF50 and you should always use SPF50 on your face, as it helps to avoid dark spots, hyper-pigmentation and early signs of ageing.

This BB cream also contains peptides which help restoring a more youthful skin. I would recommend it if you are planning to stay on the beach or by the pool, not for watersports. No7 Protect & Perfect Intense Advanced BB Facial Sun Protection SPF50 is available from Boots for £15.

Ania’s advice:

1. Always apply sunscreen

2. Plan your Autumn getaway

3. Try kitesurfing!

I don’t know how about you, but I am always dreading that moment when I have to finally detangle my hair. If you are blonde, and have dry hair, you will understand – the struggle is real. So when I heard about the new launch from Tangle Teezer, I was really looking forward to trying the new brush, and I must say, it works wonders!

save-new 2

The Wet Detangler Brush

The Wet Detangler is available in four colours: Millennial Pink, Liquorice Black, Serenity Blue and Popping Pink. The brush can be safely used on wet hair, helping to detangle and brush through any knots. It has 325 unique teeth which work on detangling your hair without pulling, making it a painless experience.

What I loved about the brush is that you can use it to brush your hair in the shower, after applying a conditioner or a mask to help distribute the product evenly. You can also use it after the shower to brush through your hair, which leaves it smooth and perfectly ‘brushed’. I will definitely be taking my Wet Detangler on my kitesurfing holiday in July, I hope it will perform just as well as during London weather conditions 🙂 Available from Tangle Teezer  or Boots for £11.

Palms and Pineapples Compact Styler Detangling Brush

Just in time for the summer, Tangle Teezer launched their new, limited edition compact styler brush. I think this is one of the cutest designs from Tangle Teezer. I love the compact styler brushes from Tangle Teezer as they are incredibly handy especially when you are moving around the city, travelling or just need to look good in the office. I am getting this one ready for my summer holiday – luscious hair is indeed the perfect summer accessory. Soon available from Boots for £13.5.

1. Brush your hair daily (I know it is a pain)

2. Get your Wet Detangler

3. Plan your surfing trip!

I don’t know if you know but tomorrow I am off to Nepal & Bhutan for 9 days. I am super excited, literally cannot wait! As I have limited space in my luggage I can only take the essentials. Here is what I chose to take with me!

Environ RAD SPF 15

Right now it is very warm in Nepal so I will be using stronger SPF but this cream is perfect for Bhutan weather as we will be hiking, flying with helicopters and discovering mountains. You should remember to always wear and SPF, and the one from Environ is great as it is also hydrating and skin friendly. Available for £19.99 from Environ Stockists.

Environ Focus Care Youth + Tri- Peptide Complex  + Advance Elixir

Did you know that using a serum with a moisturiser increases its effectiveness. Environ makes amazing skincare products, the Environ Focus care helps to hydrate the skin, and targets signs of ageing and hyper pigmentation. It contains three powerful peptide complexes which nourish and brighten the skin and slow down the signs of ageing. In addition it protects the skin from the UV radiation and pollution. The UV radiation is much stronger on planes so you should remember to apply serums as well as SPF when taking a flight too. Find your stockist at IIAA Website.

Dr. Botanicals Pomegranate Superfood Brightening Eye Serum

I will try to avoid wearing too much makeup, especially when in Bhutan as the air is incredibly clean. Did you know that smoking is absolutely forbidden there? If you are pale, you will know that dark circles are quite difficult to get rid off. Fortunately I recently discovered the Superfood Brightening Eye Serum which smooths, nourishes and brightens the eye area. Please note you do need to use it at least for a week to see results!  Available for £19.99 from Dr. Botanicals Website.

Best hand cream EVER, keeps your hands hydrated and smelling beautifully. Get yours now from L’Occitane , for £8.

This is my new, favourite perfume. It is sweet, spicy and heavy. As the name says it is a mix of Tobacco & Vanille and the best thing about this perfume is very long lasting so you can smell it throughout the day. I chose it for this trip it as I won’t have time to reapply whilst trekking XD. It is a very complex perfume, with multiple layers, I cannot recommend it enough! Available from House OF Fraser, £158.

Philip Kingsley Body & Volume Jet Set

Whenever I travel, I always take the best haircare products with me, as I cannot stand tangled hair. Philip Kingsley is well known for its great quality products, and after trying them, I can honestly say that I would take them with me anywhere around the world.

The Body & Volume Jet Set is a perfect set for hydration as well as volume. It contains the Body Building Shampoo & Conditioner and their most famous Elasticizer which is the literally my go-to remedy when my hair is a mess. This Xmas set is perfect to keep the hair hydrated but luscious and voluminous. A must-have. Available from Philip Kingsley, for £27.

I always take dry shampoo with me on holiday as you never know when you might need it. I am currently loving the dry shampoo from Amika. It is super light and absorbs any oil and dirt making my hair look fresh and voluminous again. Available from Birchbox, for £20.

Hi Lovely!

How are you all finding autumn? I hope you are enjoying the cosy evenings, wrapped in a warm blanket, drinking hot chocolate with marshmallows. I am actually really struggling  to leave the house in the evenings as it is getting so chilly so if you have any tips, please let me know!

Omorovicza Queen Of Hungary Mist

This is my latest discovery that I am obsessed with. This face mist is an absolute        must-have for anyone, especially travellers, office workers and skincare lovers. I use it all the time, in the mornings and evenings as a toning mist, and during the day to refresh my skin. It hydrates, refreshes as well as balances the skin. The scent is a mix of neroli and rose which helps to destress. It can be used on all skin types and it is now officially my top face mist. Available from Omorowicza Website, for £48.

Essentialle Revival Nectar

This is another product that I recently discovered, as it just launched in the UK. The Revival Nectar is designed for dry and lack lustre skin so I was quite excited to try it. I applied it after cleansing my skin in the evening, before applying moisturiser and I always massaged my skin when applying as instructed on the box. I can honestly say that it helped me de-stress and relax and I noticed my mood improved after my skincare routine. The Revival Nectar also hydrated my skin, improving its colour and adding a subtle glow.

It is filled with rich ingredients such as Pomegranate seed oil, Rose geranium oil, Roship fruit oil, Patchouli leaf oil amongst others which contribute to skin renewal, cell regeneration and reduction of wrinkles. Available from Essentialle Website, for £70.

Nu Colour Lip Plumping Balm

I can never say ‘no’ to a new lip balm especially if it promises to hydrate and plump my lips. I really like Nu Skin for their skincare products, so trying their make-up products from Nu Colour range was also exciting.

The Nu Colour lip balm has a tingling effect on the lips, making me feel awake and refreshed throughout the day. It also hydrated and softened my lips so it was perfect for this cold month. It has a delicate peppermint scent and comes in a stunning silver packaging. An autumn/winter – must have! Available from Nu Skin Website, for £23.24.

Miss Gorgeous I Am Not Lipstick Applicator

This is the cutest makeup applicator I have ever seen. It is also very useful as you can put it in your handbag or makeup bag without getting worried about foundation/concelear marks. Its compact design, also ensures hygienic application as the plastic cover prevents germs and dirt from sticking to the applicator. You can find lots of other cute makeup accessories on Miss Gorgeous Website, and I want them all! Available from Miss Gorgeous Website, for £8.99.

Tangle Teezer The Original Purple Glitter Hairbrush

Happy Birthday to Tangle Teezer which has now been with us for 10 years. To celebrate this special occasion, Tangle Teezer created a limited edition brush – The Original in Purple Glitter. I love this design as it has this stylish retro feel to it, and who doesn’t like glitter? I usually have Tangle Teezer in my handbag so that I can use it on the go as it is super compact and easy to carry wherever I go. Available from Very Exclusive Website, for £11.
