Ted Dunning, MapR, Presents "Real-time on Hadoop: A New Approach Makes It Easier

Abstract

Hadoop is a great technology, but traditionally it tends to be separated from other excellent new techniques, such as Storm for real-time or d3 for visualization. For example, because Hadoop is batch, real-time and Hadoop systems don’t usually work well together. But some new twists in architecture can change that. This talk shows how these separate new technologies can work seamlessly with a distributed system at scale.

Location
