Analytics Framework for Selection and Execution of Analytics in a Distributed Environment

A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having a computer readable program stored therein, wherein the computer readable program, when executed on a computing device, causes the computing device to implement a multi-layer analytics framework, which operates to:

• obtain a plurality of analytics from one or more analytics source computing systems, wherein the plurality of analytics comprise at least two analytics written in different computer programming languages;
• apply a wrapper to each of the analytics in the plurality of analytics to thereby generate wrapped analytics, wherein the wrapper provides a unified interface for executing the analytics in the plurality of analytics regardless of the particular computer programming language used to create the analytics;
• register the wrapped analytics in an analytics registry;
• and
• execute an analytics pipeline comprising wrapped analytics in the analytics registry to perform an analytics operation based on the unified interface of the wrappers of the wrapped analytics.

An apparatus comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory comprises instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to implement a multi-layer analytics framework, which operates to:
• obtain a plurality of analytics from one or more analytics source computing systems, wherein the plurality of analytics comprise at least two analytics written in different computer programming languages;
• apply a wrapper to each of the analytics in the plurality of analytics to thereby generate wrapped analytics, wherein the wrapper provides a unified interface for executing the analytics in the plurality of analytics regardless of the particular computer programming language used to create the analytics;
• register the wrapped analytics in an analytics register;
• and
• execute an analytics pipeline comprising wrapped analytics in the analytics registry to perform an analytics operation based on the unified interface of the wrappers of the wrapped analytics.
