OCTOBER 23 – 25, 2012THANK YOUR FOR JOINING US!Strata Conference + Hadoop World 2012 went off without a hitch! The sold-out conference attracted attendees from a wide range of industries and 38 countries. Strata Conference explored the change brought to technology and business by big data, data science, and pervasive computing. The joined forces this year with Hadoop World (in its 4th year), this conference is at the heart of the big data industry. Strata Conference + Hadoop World brought together decision makers using the power of big data to drive business strategy and practitioners who collect, analyze, and manipulate the data — particularly in the worlds of finance, media, and government. The merger of Strata and Hadoop World was the largest gathering of the Apache Hadoop community, with emphasis on hands-on and business sessions on the Hadoop ecosystem. |

CLOUDERA PRESENTATIONSGIVEN ENOUGH MONKEYS – SOME THOUGHTS ON RANDOMNESSJesse Anderson – Cloudera Developer and Instructor Can a million monkeys on a million typewriters eventually recreate Shakespeare? The great minds since Aristotle have been thinking about this theorem. In 2011, Jesse Anderson randomly recreated Shakespeare using Hadoop. Here’s why you should care. » |

LARGE SCALE ETL WITH HADOOPEric Sammer – Cloudera Sr. Solutions Architect Hadoop is commonly used for processing large swaths of data in batch. While many of the necessary building blocks for data processing exist within the Hadoop ecosystem – HDFS, MapReduce, HBase, Hive, Pig, Oozie, and so on – it can be a challenge to assemble and operationalize them as a production ETL platform. This presentation covers one approach to data ingest, organization, format selection, process orchestration, and external system integration, based on collective experience acquired across many production Hadoop deployments. » |

HDFS – WHAT IS NEW AND FUTURESanjay Radia – Hortonworks Founder Hadoop 1.0 is a significant milestone in being the most stable and robust Hadoop release tested in production against a variety of applications. It offers improved performance, support for HBase, disk-fail-in-place, Webhdfs, etc over previous releases. The next major release, Hadoop 2.0 offers several significant HDFS improvements including new append-pipeline, federation, wire compatibility, NameNode HA, further performance improvements, etc. We describe how to take advantages of the new features and their benefits. We also discuss some of the misconceptions and myths about HDFS. » |

HIGH AVAILABILITY FOR THE HDFS NAMENODE: PHASE 2Aaron Myers – Cloudera Software Engineer This session will discuss the design and implementation of features for a highly available namenode, as well as give an overview of how to deploy these new features. » |
|
APACHE HBASE FEATURES FOR THE ENTERPRISEJonathan Hsieh – Cloudera Software Engineer Apache HBase is a distributed data store that is in production today at many enterprises and sites serving large volumes of near-real-time random-accesses. As Apache HBase matures, the community has augmented the system with new features that many enterprise consider to be hard requirements. We will discuss how the upcoming HBase 0.96 release addresses many of these shortcomings by introducing new features that will help the administrator monitor and control access to the system, and new mechanisms to minimize downtime due to expected and unexpected outages. » |

DESIGNING SCALABLE NETWORK ARCHITECTURES FOR FAST MOVING BIG DATAKenneth Duda – Arista Networks Founder, CTO and SVP, Software Engineering The growth of big data and the continuing dramatic decline in the cost of storage and computer processing are having a profound impact on the way business is being conducted across sectors. An updated network infrastructure is essential to keeping the data flowing smoothly throughout your organization and enabling timely, precise analytics that enhance business decision making. Arista and Cloudera have partnered to create networking architectures that accelerate big data productivity by increasing performance, simplifying network scale-out, and tying into Hadoop’s topology aware storage architecture. » |

BUILDING A LARGE-SCALE DATA COLLECTION SYSTEM USING FLUME NGHari Shreedharan – Cloudera Software Engineer Hadoop HDFS is typically adopted in situations where traditional storage and database systems are either reaching their limits or have already surpassed them. This usually implies that there are one or more large streams of events that need to be collected, such as log data streams. Flume NG was designed from the ground-up to tackle this problem in a straightforward, scalable, reliable way, and empirical results support the success of its approach. » |
