“Cloudera’s Distribution for Hadoop and Cloudera Enterprise” by Mike Olson
Abstract:
Cloudera has assembled a comprehensive, fully open-source distribution of the Apache Hadoop software and related projects. This package, Cloudera’s Distribution for Hadoop (CDH), version 3, is easy to acquire, install, configure, run and administer, and dramatically simplifies the use and operation of Hadoop. In addition, Cloudera offers a subscription-based package based on CDH called Cloudera Enterprise, with management and administrative dashboards aimed at IT staff, backed by the company’s enterprise support and other services. In this talk, I’ll describe CDH and Cloudera Enterprise.
Bio:
Mike was formerly CEO of Sleepycat Software, makers of Berkeley DB, the open source embedded database engine. Mike spent two years at Oracle Corporation as Vice President for Embedded Technologies after Oracle’s acquisition of Sleepycat in 2006. Prior to joining Sleepycat, Mike held technical and business positions at database vendors Britton Lee, Illustra Information Technologies and Informix Software. Mike has Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Computer Science from the University of California at Berkeley.
“Reliable, Distributed Streaming Log Collection with Flume” by Ian Wrigley
Abstract:
As the size of your log files and other dynamically-generated data
increases, they becomes more and more difficult to manage. In this
talk we’ll discuss how to use Flume, an open-source framework from
Cloudera, to collect your log files as they’re generated and aggregate
them to where you want to process them.
Bio:
After a stint as a technology journalist, Ian Wrigley started one of
the UK’s first Web consultancies. He has been managing large amounts
of data ever since, starting with flat files and Perl scripts, moving
on to database servers such as MySQL, and now via the power of Hadoop.
He has taught courses for companies such as Learning Tree
International, Sun, and Oracle, and he is currently a Hadoop
Instructor at Cloudera, where he describes his job as “helping geeks
become geekier.” Ian is also PC Pro’s Contributing Editor for Unix and
Open Source.
