It’s disrupted decades of data management practices and technologies by introducing a massively parallel processing framework. The community and the development of all the Open Source components pushed Hadoop to where it is now.</p> <p>That's why the Hadoop community is excited about Apache Spark. The Spark software stack includes a core data-processing engine, an interface for interactive querying, Sparkstreaming for streaming data analysis, and growing libraries for machine-learning and graph analysis. Spark is quickly establishing itself as a leading environment for doing fast, iterative in-memory and streaming analysis.</p> <p><br>This talk will give an introduction the Spark stack, explain how Spark has lighting fast results, and how it complements Apache Hadoop.</p> <p><br><b>About the Presenter</b></p> <p><a href="http://sungwookyoon.com/">Sungwook Yoon</a> is a Data Scientist at MapR.</p> <p>Sungwook's data experience includes:</p> <p>-  Malware detection algorithms for packet stream analysis</p> <p>-  Mobile network signaling analysis</p> <p>-  Social network analysis</p> <p>-  Job title analysis</p> <p>-  Call center data analysis</p> <p>Before joining MapR, Sungwook worked as a Research Scientist at Palo Alto Research Center and as an Architect in Seven Networks.
