How to Analyze Terabytes of Data from GitHub Archive at High Speed
Aliaksandr Valialkin

GitHub provides public API for obtaining detailed information about various events performed by users across public repositories: git pushes, pull requests and reviews, github issues and comments, github stars, etc. The information about these events is available at https://gharchive.org in the form of per-hour compressed files with JSON lines representing all the events. The number of events recorded per year is ~1.5 billions. The total size of events per year is ~7 terabytes. This sounds like a big data. The talk shows how to explore this data at high speed and minimal costs and how to obtain interesting insights from this data.
