Description

Datameer is the only end-to-end big data analytics application purpose-built for Hadoop, designed to make big data easy for everyone. 

Companies of all sizes like British Telecom, Citibank, TrustEv and Workday use Datameer to integrate, analyze and visualize all of their data to get new insights faster than ever. 

Founded by Hadoop veterans in 2009, Datameer scales from a laptop to thousands of nodes and is available for all major Hadoop distributions including Apache, Cloudera, EMC, Hortonworks, IBM, MapR, Yahoo!, Amazon and Microsoft Azure.

Where business intelligence provide answers to known questions, big data discovery reveals unknown patterns, relationships and insights in any data. 

Please join our discussion/demo around leveraging the power of Hadoop, and how Datameer is addressing the challenges in proliferation of analytics technologies with their latest release, including Smart Execution.

Description

Operational systems manage our finances, shopping, devices and much more. Adding real-time analytics to these systems enables them to instantly respond to changing conditions and provide immediate, targeted feedback. This use of analytics is called “operational intelligence,” and the need for it is widespread.

This talk will describe the use of in-memory, data-parallel computing to obtain operational intelligence in several scenarios, including financial services, ecommerce, and cable-based media. It will show both how an in-memory model is constructed and how data-parallel analysis can be implemented to provide immediate feedback. Performance results from a simulation of 10M live cable-TV set-top boxes will illustrate how this technique was used to correlate and enrich 25K events per second and complete a parallel analysis every 10 seconds on a cluster of commodity servers.

The talk also will compare the use of in-memory computing to the more traditional “big data” model popularized by Hadoop MapReduce. It also will examine simplifications offered by this approach over directly analyzing incoming event streams from an operational system using complex event processing or Storm. Lastly, it will explain key requirements of the in-memory computing platform, in particular real-time updating of individual objects and high availability, and compare these requirements to the design goals for stream processing in Spark.

"Sheldon Kreger will present a basic content recommendation system he built for software.intel.com. Using a combination of technologies - including Neo4j, MySQL, Amazon Web Services, and Google Analytics - blog and article pages on the site will soon have automatically-generated 'similar page' links displayed in the sidebar. This is the first version of the system, designed to be easy to improve and scale as time passes."

Please join us as we hear more about Sheldon's work and ask questions!

Pizza (veggie option will be available) and Drinks (beer, soda, water) will be provided. 

This event is sponsored by Cloudera Inc., one of the biggest Hadoop Distributions on the market that provides Apache Hadoop-based software, support and services, and training to business customers.

Cloudera's open-source Apache Hadoop distribution, CDH (Cloudera Distribution Including Apache Hadoop), targets enterprise-class deployments of that technology. More than 50% of its engineering output is donated upstream to the various Apache-licensed open source projects (Apache Hive, Apache Avro, Apache HBase, and so on) that combine to form the Hadoop platform. Cloudera is also a sponsor of the Apache Software Foundation.

Description

Cloudera Impala provides fast, ad hoc SQL query capability for Apache Hadoop, complementing traditional MapReduce batch processing. 

Learn the design choices and architecture behind Impala, and how to use near-ubiquitous SQL to explore your own data at scale.
