Tom White @ Devoxx, Belgium

Tom will be giving two talks:

1. Hadoop Fundamentals: HDFS, MapReduce, Pig, and Hive

This technical tutorial will go over the fundamentals of Hadoop: its
distributed filesystem (HDFS) and processing engine (MapReduce), as
well as looking at higher-level tools for data analytics (Pig and
Hive). Plenty of code examples will be provided throughout. The
following areas will be covered:

-Moving data into HDFS.
-Writing a simple MapReduce job.
-Tips for writing advanced MapReduce jobs.
-An introduction to Pig Latin.
-Writing Hive queries.

2. The State of Hadoop

Apache Hadoop is a part of a growing ecosystem of projects for large-scale data analysis. This talk will present the main components of Hadoop and related tools and how they work together.
