Pentaho Business Analytics Scalability

Sayan König - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Manager, Financial Services at KPMG

We have three people who use the solution for the most part.

I'm not sure about the level of scalability. We had just a limited amount of data to pass through. If we have the 100 times amount of data, how this would scale with several servers or something like that, I have no clue. I don't know. I've never tried.

We ran into insufficient memory issues due to the limits specified in Java config files. When processing larger data files, the UI may hang. But this issue may not appear when the programs run on the server.

Pentaho scales really very well.

Pentaho Data Integration scalation is a breeze: just setup the machines, configure the slaves and master and that is it. One has only to enable the jobs and transformation to take advantage of PDI's clustering abilities, and that might be tricky but easy nonetheless. Bottom line of data integration scalability is limited to developers ingenuity on data processing compartmentalization so processing parallelization and remote processing become profitable for clustering.

Pentaho BA Server also scales well, on a quite standard load balancing scheme. Being a regular and well behaved Java program, the Pentaho BA Server is enabled to be clustered on the Java web server, like JBoss, or in a Apache/Tomcats multi-server loading balancing schema.

It is not for the amateur Pentaho administration to do it, however. In fact, a Pentaho administrator alone probably will have a degree of difficulty to achieve server scaling, and would be better of having help from web server clustering professionals.

No. I think the choice for Pentaho was right for my company. It fits very well for our purpose, which was demonstrate to the directors the power of BI for the business. But, now there is a perception of the benefits, and the company is become bigger. Perhaps, in the near future, I can evaluate other options, even Pentaho EE.

Data type mismatch issues causes a lot of error in the transformations, which I believe at times make it difficult to scale. For example in many transformations you have to mention the data type of the data and if the input file changes the data type, these transformation also needs to be updated. Hence one data type change in the input file have cascading effects

Since Pentaho supports running as a single process to a clustered architecture and has a big focus on big data (distributed) environments, scalability hasn't been an issue for us.
