# MoNanas - Monasca Analytics Framework
![MoNanas Logo](doc/images/monanas-logo.png)
## Overview
Monasca Analytics (MoNanas) is a statistical/machine-learning
([SML](doc/design.md#sml)) [flow](doc/design.md#flow) composition
engine. Users can compose a sequence of algorithms to be executed by just
providing a description as an input to MoNanas. The data flow is automatically
handled by the framework.
Easy [flow](doc/design.md#flow) composition and reusability means that
we can speed up the extraction of actionable infrastructure insight.
### Advantages
:thumbsup: Decouple algorithm design from execution.
:thumbsup: Reusable specification of the desired [flow](doc/design.md#flow).
:thumbsup: Language independent [flow](doc/design.md#flow) definition.
:thumbsup: Data source and format independent.
:thumbsup: Easy to add new [SML](doc/design.md#sml) algorithms and # combine them with pre-existing ones in the [flow](doc/design.md#flow).
:thumbsup: Transparently exploit data parallelism.
### Example Use Cases
* [MoNanas/UseCases](doc/use_cases.md): Use cases that are relevant to OpenStack
### Documentation
* [MoNanas/GettingStarted](doc/getting_started.md): A starting point for users
and developers of MoNanas.
### Repositories
Core: https://github.com/openstack/monasca-analytics.git
## MoNanas Design
See: [MoNanas/Design](doc/design.md) for details on MoNanas's architecture,
its functional requirements and core concepts.
## Technologies
MoNanas uses a number of third-party technologies:
* Apache Spark (https://spark.apache.org/): Apache Spark is a fast and general
engine for large-scale data processing.
* Apache Kafka (https://kafka.apache.org/): Used by Monasca and MoNanas's Kafka
`source` and `sink`.
* Apache ZooKeeper (https://zookeeper.apache.org/): Used by Kafka.
## Feature Release Schedule
- [x] Basic SML flow.
- [x] New algorithm "add-on" ability.
- [x] Example datasets and SML flows.
- [ ] Support end-to-end learning + data processing flows (currently, the latter part does not get updated due to Spark's immutability.)
- [ ] Refactor codes to be consistent with terms used in the documentation.
- [ ] Add a source, ingestor and transformer for Monasca.
- [ ] Model connections as objects rather than references and have driver specifics in one place.
- [ ] Expanded orchestration abilities/expressiveness.
- [ ] Container-enabled testing/deployment for non-production environments.
- [ ] Add Vitrage Sink.
- [ ] Add a ready-to-use virtual machine image (get rid of the fetch-deps.sh).
## Contributing
There are multiple ways to contribute to the project. All are equally important
to us!
* You can have a look at the
[Monasca launchpad](https://launchpad.net/monasca) for problems that
needs to be solved (bugs/issues), and blueprints.
* You can also help us to add
[new learning algorithms](doc/dev_guide.md#add_new_algorithms).
* Finally, we are very interested in having more data sources to experiment
with. The source can either be from an existing data provider or randomly
generated. The more, the better! :) If you are interested to work on that
aspect, [you are welcome as well](doc/dev_guide.md#add_new_sources).
For more information on setting up your development environment, see
[MoNanas/DevGuide](doc/dev_guide.md).
