Dear all,
Here's what we did during the mini hackathon in Rome (1-2 October
2015). This was collaboratively written and edited by me.
The two-days hackathon was attended by eight people: alangiu, alemela,
dalla, duncan, gfutia, nuke, poly, and me (sbs).
AirVPN folks joined us in the morning of October 1. With them we
discussed about possible avenues of cooperation between OONI and the
NeuMon project (http://www.neumon.org) to measure censorship.
During the hackathon we worked on the following projects:
# MeasurementKit
- - people: nuke, alangiu, sbs
- - brief overview of what we did:
- Finished a beta working version of the app, added cocoapods in
the Xcode project.
- Removed the build-ios repo and added the scripts in the mail
measurement-kit repo.
- Tested the new async measurement-kit implementation and all
works great, even the logs are separated test by test.
- Added dns support for iOS devices, getting local DNS and using
it for the tests (before was working only in simulator)
- - relevant github repos:
- https://github.com/measurement-kit/measurement-kit
- https://github.com/measurement-kit/measurement-kit-build-ios/
- https://github.com/measurement-kit/measurement-kit-app-ios
- - relevant pull requests:
- https://github.com/measurement-kit/measurement-kit/pull/182
- https://github.com/measurement-kit/measurement-kit/pull/185
- https://github.com/measurement-kit/measurement-kit/pull/187
# NetworkMeter
- - people: poly, sbs
- - brief overview of what we did:
- Added preliminary support for invoking OONI
- Added support for running tests in parrallel
- Implemented homepage, showing currently running tests and tests
that have finished
- Added ability to retrieve output and reports of previous tests
- Various small bugfixes, like removing redundant caching
- Decided on how to handle visualization
- - relevant github repos:
https://github.com/measurement-kit/network-meter
- - relevant pull requests:
https://github.com/measurement-kit/network-meter/pull/34https://github.com/measurement-kit/network-meter/pull/32https://github.com/measurement-kit/network-meter/pull/23https://github.com/measurement-kit/network-meter/pull/21
# World Censorship Map
- - people: duncan
- - brief overview of what we did:
Made a map showing which regions of the world OONI probes are running
in. Each point represents one report collected.
The data is from 2014 mostly, and there is a hidden time slider on the
left. Probes tend to come online, collect a burst of measurements then
disappear again shortly after. Exceptions include the UK, Germany and
Italy where a huge number of measurements were collected year-round.
- - demo:
- https://vtduncan.github.io/ooni-globe
- - relevant github repos:
- https://github.com/vtduncan/ooni-globe
- https://github.com/vtduncan/asn-geo
# World Censorship Report
- - people: dalla, gfutia, alemela
- - brief overview of what we did:
Analyzed some tests in order to understand which data could be useful
to show in a aggregated report Written some node.js code that:
- unzip and parse yaml aggregated reports
- split reports by country and month adding some values
- generate a markdown report with an overview on all tests done
for a specified country in a specified month
Thought about which kind of physical data model would have been more
indicated to store ooni reports.

What email address(es) does OONI have registered at https://access.ripe.net ?
Give me an email address and I can give you OONI co-management.
It's likely that other people will want to do this as well. And I'm
confident there's useful things OONI could do with a fuckton of Atlas
credits.

Hello,
This mail doesn't have seemed to end up on the tor-dev lists as intended, but
— in either case — this list is probably a better place for it. Since Pabs'
patch is a one-character change which should fix a SyntaxError in one of the
nettests, I've gone ahead and applied it to the Github ooni-probe master
branch and pushed there. (The git-rw.tpo repo master branch is out of sync
with the GH one, FWIW. I didn't understand why this would be the case, but I
assumed that you all have some organisation reasons for doing so and so I
didn't update the git-rw.tpo repo.)
I hope this was okay to do.
Cheers!

Hello,
It might be worthwhile to take a step back, and have a discussion with
regards to why ooni-pipeline-ng, and related tooling makes use of Apache
Spark + Hadoop in lieu of using a RDBMS/NoSQL database before diving into
the Hadoop ecosystem. In my experience, early adoption of Hadoop typically
incurs a significant degree of technical debt that can be associated with
both the maintenance of the associated cluster, and increased development
time.
If I am correct in my assumption, ooni-pipeline-ng adopted Apache Spark
largely due to its flexibility, and (relatively) low learning curve.
It is worth mentioning that I am currently working on a service in parallel
that makes a subset of the OONI metrics available to developers, and other
users (specifically the YAML reports associated with different ooni-probe
measurements). I've been pretty busy lately, but I should have a service up
shortly that I can open up to peer review. After working with the MongoDB
aggregation framework for a few weeks, I've opted to lean more towards
using PostgreSQL given that it supports conventional aggregate queries that
many developers (including myself) are familiar with, which will make it
easier for other developers to contribute.
The use of PostgreSQL may be favourable in lieu of using a NoSQL database,
or adopting Hadoop given that for the most part, ooni-probe reports can be
modeled in a relational form. The only sparse element of a given ooni-probe
reports is the result associated with a given test, and even that follows a
relatively predictable schema which can be targeted using an aggregate
query.
One of the neat features of PostgreSQL is that it supports aggregate
queries over nested JSON documents, meaning that you can perform aggregate
queries on nested JSON in tandem to aggregates on scalar fields. This is
pretty useful, not to mention performant when proper indices are used. This
may be sufficient for the purposes of what the metrics team is doing, but
of course, I'd have to hear more about what the hurdles you're trying to
cross are.
Before tackling scalability, we should verify that the services in question
fit your use case. If I am correct in my assumption, the ooni-probe metrics
are less than 1GB overall, as opposed to being several terabytes.

Hi,
measurement team thinks about setting up a server with metrics data and an
environment that allows everybody (everybody with a login, that is) to
analyze metrics data and do crazy research with it.
Hadoop as a well established Big Data solution seems like a good choice to
base that environment on, enhanced by R and probably more stuff. The
problem is that Hadoop is not in Debian stable (and doesn?t seem to get in
anytime soon [1]). The only alternatives we could find are PostgreSQL and
MongoDB, but MongoDB is too shoddy and PostgreSQL will likely struggle with
the kind of data we intend to throw at it and won?t be fun to work with.
Ooni does use Hadoop and we?d like to know why and how. Didn?t you, like
us, find any viable alternative to Hadoop that is available in Debian
stable? How did you get around Hadoop not being in stable? Can you advice
us to do the same or look somewhere else? (Where?)
Cheers
Thomas

The problem is that Hadoop is not in Debian stable (and doesn’t seem to get in anytime soon [1]). The only alternatives we could find are PostgreSQL and MongoDB, but MongoDB is too shoddy and PostgreSQL will likely struggle with the kind of data we intend to throw at it and won’t be fun to work with.
Ooni does use Hadoop and we’d like to know why and how. Didn’t you, like us, find any viable alternative to Hadoop that is available in Debian stable? How did you get around Hadoop not being in stable? Can you advice us to do the same or look somewhere else? (Where?)
Cheers
