Google Storage for Developers
Store your data in Google's cloud

What Is Google Storage?
• Store your data in Google's cloud
o any format, any amount, any time
• You control access to your data
o private, shared, or public
• Access via Google APIs or 3rd party tools/libraries

Sample Use Cases
Static content hosting
e.g. static html, images, music, video
Backup and recovery
e.g. personal data, business records
Sharing
e.g. share data with your customers
Data storage for applications
e.g. used as storage backend for Android, App Engine,
Cloud based apps
Storage for Computation
e.g. BigQuery, Prediction API

Google Storage Benefits
High Performance and Scalability
Backed by Google infrastructure
Strong Security and Privacy
Control access to your data
Easy to Use
Get started fast with Google & 3rd party tools

Google Storage Technical Details
• RESTful API
o Verbs: GET, PUT, POST, HEAD, DELETE
o Resources: identiﬁed by URI
o Compatible with S3
• Buckets
o Flat containers, i.e. no bucket hierarchy

• Objects
o Any type
o Size: 100 GB / object
• Access Control for Google Accounts
o For individuals and groups
• Two Ways to Authenticate Requests
o Sign request using access keys
o Web browser login

Performance and Scalability
• Objects of any type and 100 GB / Object
• Unlimited numbers of objects, 1000s of buckets
• All data replicated to multiple US data centers
• Leveraging Google's worldwide network for data delivery
• Only you can use bucket names with your domain names
• “Read-your-writes” data consistency
• Range Get

Security and Privacy Features
• Key-based authentication
• Authenticated downloads from a web browser
• Sharing with individuals
• Group sharing via Google Groups
• Access control for buckets and objects
• Set Read/Write/List permissions

Tools

Google Prediction API
Google's prediction engine in the cloud

Introducing the Google Prediction API
• Google's sophisticated machine learning technology
• Available as an on-demand RESTful HTTP web service

"english"
The quick brown fox jumped over the
lazy dog.
"english"
To err is human, but to really foul things
up you need a computer.
"spanish" No hay mal que por bien no venga.
"spanish" La tercera es la vencida.
?
To be or not to be, that is the
question.
? La fe mueve montañas.
2. PREDICT
The Prediction API
later searches for
those features
during prediction.
How does it work?
1. TRAIN
The Prediction API
finds relevant
features in the
sample data during
training.

Customer
Sentiment
Transaction
Risk
Species
Identification
Message
Routing
Legal Docket
Classification
Suspicious
Activity
Work Roster
Assignment

Prediction
... and many more ...
A virtually endless number of applications...

Automatically categorize and respond to emails by language
• Customer: ACME Corp, a multinational organization
• Goal: Respond to customer emails in their language
• Data: Many emails, tagged with their languages
• Outcome: Predict language and respond accordingly
A Prediction API Example

Using the Prediction API
1. Upload
2. Train
Upload your training data to
Google Storage
Build a model from your data
Make new predictions3. Predict
A simple three step process...

Upload your training data to Google Storage
• Training data: outputs and input features
• Data format: comma separated value format (CSV), result in first column
"english","To err is human, but to really ..."
"spanish","No hay mal que por bien no venga."
...
Upload to Google Storage
gsutil cp ${data} gs://yourbucket/${data}
Step 1: Upload

Create a new model by training on data
To train a model:
POST prediction/v1.1/training?data=mybucket%2Fmydata
Training runs asynchronously. To see if it has finished:
GET prediction/v1.1/training/mybucket%2Fmydata
{"data":{
"data":"mybucket/mydata",
"modelinfo":"estimated accuracy: 0.xx"}}}
Step 2: Train

Apply the trained model to make predictions on new data
POST prediction/v1.1/query/mybucket%2Fmydata/predict
{ "data":{
"input": { "text" : [
"J'aime X! C'est le meilleur" ]}}}
Step 3: Predict

POST prediction/v1.1/query/mybucket%2Fmydata/predict
{ "data":{
"input": { "text" : [
"J'aime X! C'est le meilleur" ]}}}
{ data : {
"kind" : "prediction#output",
"outputLabel":"French",
"outputMulti" :[
{"label":"French", "score": x.xx}
{"label":"English", "score": x.xx}
{"label":"Spanish", "score": x.xx}]}}
Step 3: Predict

import httplib
# put new data in JSON format
params = { ... }
header = {"Content-Type" : "application/json"}
conn =
httplib.HTTPConnection("www.googleapis.com")conn.reques
t("POST",
"/prediction/v1.1/query/mybucket%2Fmydata/predict",
params, header)
print conn.getresponse()
Step 3: Predict

Data
• Input Features: numeric or unstructured text
• Output: up to hundreds of discrete categories
Training

• Fast: Response in seconds
• Simple: Queries in SQL
• Web Service
oREST
oJSON-RPC
oGoogle App Scripts
Key Capabilities of BigQuery

1. Upload
2. Import
Upload your raw data to
Google Storage
Import raw data into
BigQuery table
Perform SQL queries
on table
3. Query
Another simple three step process...
Using BigQuery

Compact subset of SQL
o SELECT ... FROM ...
WHERE ...
GROUP BY ... ORDER BY ...
LIMIT ...;
Common functions
o Math, String, Time, ...
Additional statistical approximations
o TOP
o COUNT DISTINCT
Writing Queries

GET /bigquery/v1/tables/{table name}
GET /bigquery/v1/query?q={query}
Sample JSON Reply:
{
"results": {
"fields": { [
{"id":"COUNT(*)","type":"uint64"}, ... ]
},
"rows": [
{"f":[{"v":"2949"}, ...]},
{"f":[{"v":"5387"}, ...]}, ... ]
}
}
Also supports JSON-RPC
BigQuery via REST
