Big Data – techniques from the trenches

Welcome back to Big Data Analytics for 2013. We will be kicking the year off with three practical presentations from Big Data practitioners that demonstrate how Big Data tools can be applied to solve some common problems.

Joao Salcedo – Big Commerce

Flume is a critical component of the Hadoop stack used to stream data into HDFS. Joao will show how we use Flume to ingest web logs into HDFS.

Ross Farrelly – Aster

Ross will be taking us through a couple of use cases he has been working on using the Aster platform that are in progress.

Rami Mukhtar – Ambiata

Rami will run through an example of how Scoobi can be used to build a single view of a transaction from disparate sources that each provide a partial view using soft matching techniques.
