Adopting Ray @ LinkedIn
summary
Integrates Ray on YARN via TonY and Azkaban by having the TonY application master request containers, reserve ports, broadcast a head+worker topology, and launch Ray commands (demo runs a 1-head + 3-worker cluster and executes 100 remote calls aggregated across 10 iterations). Runs on LinkedIn’s Hadoop estate (7,000-node cluster, 1.8PB compute memory, 300PB storage) and a 2,000-GPU ML cluster. Uses Ray Tune with Hyperopt, Async HyperBand, and PBT for HPO, finds PBT yields best accuracy, runs 150 experiments in 14 hours vs 15 in 6 hours, and achieves 2x faster training by reducing GPU idle time with measurable user engagement and slight revenue gains.
