Spark Kick Off Meetup

Hey Lightweights,

We are renaming our User Group to Spark and Hadoop UG and decided to do a Spark Kick Off Meetup :).

Apache Spark is a fast and general engine for large-scale data processing

It has quickly become the largest open source community in big data with over 800 contributors from 200+ organizations.

Spark runs everywhere:

On Hadoop, Mesos, standalone, or in the cloud. It can access diverse data sources including HDFS, Cassandra, HBase, and S3. It is focused on ease of use by support of writing applications in Java, Scale, Python, R.

Our speakers will present to you quick insights into some of Apache Spark’s libraries and its ecosystem.

Join us for a great evening with interesting lightning talks, pizza and of course our famous meetup drink :) BEER :) !!!
