Multi-Site CDR Pipeline for a Telecom Operator Across 4 Remote Locations
Challenge
CDR data from 4 remote sites had no unified ingestion- billing reconciliation was fully manual, causing revenue leakage as subscriber volumes grew.
Solution
NiFi agents at all 5 sites feed Kafka → Spark → Druid, with live Superset dashboards for billing and network teams.

NiFi 1.27 → 2.7 Kubernetes Migration- Financial Services
Challenge
NiFi 1.27 is running on bare metal with no SSO, no scalability, and a growing compliance pipeline that the architecture couldn't support.
Solution

Eliminating ~900K Duplicate Oil Well Records via Azure Databricks
Challenge
The same wellbore appeared under 3–4 different IDs across 6,200 Excel files and 8 systems, causing royalty errors and a BLM audit risk.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before choosing an Apache Drill support partner.
Ksolves provides end-to-end Apache Drill enterprise support including 24/7 managed operations, query performance tuning, storage plugin troubleshooting, version upgrades, security hardening, and compliance implementation for distributed and embedded Drill deployments with SLA-backed response times.
We analyze query profiles via Drill Web UI to identify hash aggregation bottlenecks, sort spill events, and storage plugin push-down gaps, then tune CBO statistics, workspace configuration, and Parquet/ORC format settings to resolve regressions with targeted changes.
Yes. OOM errors in Apache Drill typically originate from misconfigured direct memory allocation, data skew across Drillbit nodes, or heap pressure from large sort and hash aggregate operations. We profile memory at the query level, identify the workload pattern causing saturation, and implement direct memory and spill-to-disk tuning to prevent recurrence.
Yes. Ksolves supports Apache Drill in distributed mode on Kubernetes (EKS, GKE, AKS) and bare metal, and embedded mode for single-node deployments, covering Drillbit management, storage plugin setup, ZooKeeper coordination, and full infrastructure management.
Yes. We manage full migrations including SQL dialect compatibility audits, storage plugin remapping to Trino or Starburst connectors, workspace-to-catalog translation, and staged cutover with workload replay testing for production query environments.
We validate the new version in staging, execute a pre-upgrade compatibility checklist for Drillbit and storage plugin versions, then perform rolling Drillbit node replacement with active query draining, followed by workload replay tests to confirm throughput and correctness.
Yes. Ksolves delivers Apache Drill enterprise support across the USA, India, and Europe with 24/7 coverage across all time zones, dedicated account management, and quarterly business reviews for every engagement.
Yes. We configure and optimize Apache Drill storage plugins for S3, ADLS Gen2, GCS, Hive, HBase, HDFS, Kafka, and RDBMS sources including format-level push-down optimization, workspace partition configuration, and JDBC/ODBC driver setup for BI tool integration.
