Intro to Apache Apex (next gen native Hadoop) & App development demo - @hebbal

Apache Apex (incubating) is a stream processing engine to develop low latency, high throughput, fault-tolerant, easily operable big data applications. It allows you to ingest data from different sources and perform data processing at scale using transformations, pre-built operators or custom business logic. Thus, making it a platform with low barrier to entry to write big data applications.

About:
Apache Apex, at its core is a stream processing engine that enables development of highly performant, fully scalable and completely fault tolerant enterprise grade applications on Hadoop. It is in production use in various industries where real time performance and fault tolerance are critical. It also comes with rich set of functional building blocks and an easy to use API for the developers to build real-time and batch applications. Apex applications are multi-tenant and run natively on YARN and HDFS alongside your other Hadoop applications. DataTorrent Inc was the initial developer of Apex and contributed it to the Apache Foundation. It continues to be actively involved in the development of Apache Apex and offers an enterprise edition of Apex.
