Elasticsearch... You know, for Search

I'm pleased to announce we have Mark Walkom from Elastic travelling to Adelaide to present at our next meetup!

Elastic is the company behind 3 open source projects; Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana (the "ELK stack"), which are designed to take data from any source and search, analyze, and visualize it in real time. Elasticsearch is capable of scaling to hundreds of servers and petabytes of structured and unstructured data. With a user base including Facebook, Ebay, Microsoft, NASA and Netflix, Elastic has established itself as the leading player in its field.

For those not familiar with the ELK stack, this is a great opportunity to find out about its capabilities and for the more advanced, we are hoping to cover some advanced topics, such as using Elasticsearch with Hadoop and Spark (with es-hadoop).

We are also fortunate to have David Blockow back from the Data to Decisions CRC to give a lightening talk on how they use the ELK stack.

Networking commences at 6pm, with the session starting at 6.30pm. Many thanks to the University of South Australia for hosting us.

Please RSVP ASAP for this event as spots are limited!
