Building Efficient Solutions with Spark and Cassandra | Node.js for Cassandra

I'm glad to announce our first Madrid Cassandra meetup!

For the first time, we will meet together and exchange our Cassandra experience, ask questions to each other and have some fun. There will be a presentation by Oscar Méndez and Alvaro Agea, followed by a Q&A session.

Take-away points of this meetup:

• Building efficient solutions that integrate both Spark and Cassandra

• Why Spark needs Cassandra and vice versa

• Work in progress to benchmark and proofs of concept known to date

• Node.js driver for Apache Cassandra
