Discover how you can make the most of your IT estate migrations and modernizations with the newest AI capabilities. This session guides IT teams through assessing current environments, setting goals, and creating a business case with Azure Migrate for all of your workload types like Windows Server, SQL Server, .NET, Linux, PostgreSQL, Java, and more. We’ll explore tools to inventory workloads, map dependencies, and create actionable migration roadmaps.
Join this session for a concise tour of Apache Spark™ 4.0’s most notable enhancements: SQL features: ANSI by default, scripting, SQL pipe syntax, SQL UDF, session variable, view schema evolution, etc. Data type: VARIANT type, string collation Python features: Python data source, plotting API, etc. Streaming improvements: State store data source, state store checkpoint v2, arbitrary state v2, etc. Spark Connect improvements: More API coverage, thin client, unified Scala interface, etc. Infrastructure: Better error message, structured logging, new Java/Scala version support, etc. Whether you’re a seasoned Spark user or new to the ecosystem, this talk will prepare you to leverage Spark 4.0’s latest innovations for modern data and AI pipelines.
PySpark supports many data sources out of the box, such as Apache Kafka, JDBC, ODBC, Delta Lake, etc. However, some older systems, such as systems that use JMS protocol, are not supported by default and require considerable extra work for developers to read from them. One such example is ActiveMQ for streaming. Traditionally, users of ActiveMQ have to use a middle-man in order to read the stream with Spark (such as writing to a MySQL DB using Java code and reading that table with Spark JDBC). With PySpark 4.0’s custom data sources (supported in DBR 15.3+) we are able to cut out the middle-man processing using batch or Spark Streaming and consume the queues directly from PySpark, saving developers considerable time and complexity in getting source data into your Delta Lake and governed by Unity Catalog and orchestrated with Databricks Workflows.
Building a custom Spark data source connector once required Java or Scala expertise, making it complex and limiting. This left many proprietary data sources without public SDKs disconnected from Spark. Additionally, data sources with Python SDKs couldn't harness Spark’s distributed power. Spark 4.0 changes this with a new Python API for data source connectors, allowing developers to build fully functional connectors without Java or Scala. This unlocks new possibilities, from integrating proprietary systems to leveraging untapped data sources. Supporting both batch and streaming, this API makes data ingestion more flexible than ever. In this talk, we’ll demonstrate how to build a Spark connector for Excel using Python, showcasing schema inference, data reads/writes and streaming support. Whether you're a data engineer or Spark enthusiast, you’ll gain the knowledge to integrate Spark with any data source — entirely in Python.
Delta Kernel makes it easy for engines and connectors to read and write Delta tables. It supports many Delta features and robust connectors, including DuckDB, Clickhouse, Spice AI and delta-dotnet. In this session, we'll cover lessons learned about how to build a high-performance library that lets engines integrate the way they want, while not having to worry about the details of the Delta protocol. We'll talk through how we streamlined the API as well as its changes and underlying motivations. We'll discuss some new highlight features like write support, and the ability to do CDF scans. Finally we'll cover the future roadmap for the Kernel project and what you can expect from the project over the coming year.
🌟 Session Overview 🌟
Session Name: Spring AI: Integrating Generative AI in Java Enterprise Speaker: Christian Tzolov Session Description: This session explores Spring AI, a new framework enabling Java developers to integrate AI seamlessly into enterprise applications. Spring AI was born from the realization that using Generative AI is primarily an integration problem that boils down to integrating your enterprise data and APIs with the AI models.
In this talk, the Spring AI project lead will introduce you to the essential GenAI concepts and provide a hands-on guide to kick-start your AI application development journey. Spring AI offers a comprehensive suite of components required for building an AI software stack, upholding Spring's renowned design principles, such as portability and modular design.
This session will introduce many Spring AI features, starting with a portable client API to interact with AI models. You will learn how to create effective AI prompts, convert AI responses into POJOs, and use function calling to integrate your existing APIs with the AI model.
Use cases like “query over your docs” are demonstrated by showcasing Spring AI features such as creating embeddings and storing them in a vector database. The popular RAG pattern and ways you can effectively evaluate how your AI application is performing are discussed.

Did you finish the Photon whitepaper and think, wait, what? I know I did; it’s my job to understand it, explain it, and then use it. If your role involves using Apache Spark™ on Databricks, then you need to know about Photon and where to use it. Join me, chief dummy, nay "supreme" dummy, as I break down this whitepaper into easy to understand explanations that don’t require a computer science degree. Together we will unravel mysteries such as:
In this session, we’ll start with the basics of Apache Spark, the details we pretend to know, and where those performance cracks are starting to show through. Only then will we start to look at Photon, how it’s different, where the clever design choices are and how you can make the most of this in your own workloads. I’ve spent over 50 hours going over the paper in excruciating detail; every reference, and in some instances, the references of the references so that you don’t have to.

In this session, we'll go over several use-cases and describe the process of improving our spark structured streaming application micro-batch time from ~55 to ~30 seconds in several steps.
Our app is processing ~ 700 MB/s of compressed data, it has very strict KPIs, and it is using several technologies and frameworks such as: Spark 3.1, Kafka, Azure Blob Storage, AKS and Java 11.
We'll share our work and experience in those fields, and go over a few tips to create better Spark structured streaming applications.
The main areas that will be discussed are: Spark Configuration changes, code optimizations and the implementation of the Spark custom data source.

In this session we’ll present Mosaic, a new Databricks Labs project with a geospatial flavour.
Mosaic provides users of Spark and Databricks with a unified framework for distributing geospatial analytics. Users can choose to employ existing Java-based tools such as JTS or Esri's Geometry API for Java and Mosaic will handle the task of parallelizing these tools' operations: e.g. efficiently reading and writing geospatial data and performing spatial functions on geometries. Mosaic helps users scale these operations by providing spatial indexing capabilities (using, for example, Uber's H3 library) and advanced techniques for optimising common point-in-polygon and polygon-polygon intersection operations.
The development of Mosaic builds upon techniques developed with Ordnance Survey (the central hub for geospatial data across UK Government) and described in this blog post: https://databricks.com/blog/2021/10/11/efficient-point-in-polygon-joins-via-pyspark-and-bng-geospatial-indexing.html

In recent years, latest privacy laws & regulations bring a fundamental shift in the protection of data and privacy, placing new challenges to data applications. To resolve these privacy & security challenges in big data ecosystem without impacting existing applications, several hardware TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) solutions have been proposed for Apache Spark, e.g., PySpark with Scone and Opaque etc. However, to the best of our knowledge, none of them provide full protection to data pipelines in Spark applications. An adversary may still get sensitive information from unprotected components and stages. Furthermore, some of them greatly narrowed supported applications, e.g., only support SparkSQL. In this presentation, we will present a new PPMLA (privacy preserving machine learning and analytics) solution built on top of Apache Spark, BigDL, Occlum and Intel SGX. It ensures all spark components and pipelines are fully protected by Intel SGX, and existing Spark applications written in Scala, Java or Python can be migrated into our platform without any code change. We will demonstrate how to build distributed end-to-end SparkML/SparkSQL workloads with our solution on untrusted cloud environment and share real-world use cases for PPMLA.
