97 things every data engineer should know

Grouparoo

This provided a nice overview of the breadth of topics that are relevant to data engineering including data warehouses/lakes, pipelines, metadata, security, compliance, quality, and working with other teams. For example, grouping the ones about metadata, discoverability, and column naming might have made a lot of sense.

Image Encryption: An Information Security Perceptive

Knowledge Hut

The key can be a fixed-length sequence of bits or bytes. By encrypting specific regions or metadata within images, investigators can ensure that the crucial details remain tamper-proof and secure, providing reliable evidence in legal proceedings. Key Generation: A secret encryption key is generated.

How to Ensure Data Integrity at Scale By Harnessing Data Pipelines

Ascend.io

Foundational encoding, whether it is ASCII or another byte-level code, is delimited correctly into fields or columns and packaged correctly into JSON, parquet, or other file system. It should detect “schema drift,” and may involve operations that validate datasets against source system metadata, for example. In a valid schema.

Open-Sourcing AvroTensorDataset: A Performant TensorFlow Dataset For Processing Avro Data

LinkedIn Engineering

An Avro file is formatted with the following bytes: Figure 1: Avro file and data block byte layout The Avro file consists of four “magic” bytes, file metadata (including a schema, which all objects in this file must conform to), a 16-byte file-specific sync marker, and a sequence of data blocks separated by the file’s sync marker.

AVIF for Next-Generation Image Coding

Netflix Tech

The goal is to have the compressed image look as close to the original as possible while reducing the number of bytes required. Brief overview of image coding formats The JPEG format was introduced in 1992 and is widely popular. This is followed by quantization and entropy coding. Advanced Video Coding ( AVC ) format.

Kafka Connect Deep Dive – Error Handling and Dead Letter Queues

Confluent

Headers are additional metadata stored with the Kafka message’s key, value and timestamp, and were introduced in Kafka 0.11 (see KIP-82 ). f 'nKey (%K bytes): %k Value (%S bytes): %s Timestamp: %T Partition: %p Offset: %o Headers: %hn'. To fix the pipeline, we need to resolve the issue with the message on the source topic.
