Analyzing Real-World Data with Apache Drill and Hadoop

Title: Analyzing Real-World Data with Apache Drill and Hadoop

Abstract:

Apache Drill provides the ability to interact with big data on Hadoop much faster and far more easily, using the familiar SQL language. Jeremy Walsh, Solutions Architect at MapR, will demonstrate how to explore and analyze real-world data using Drill. Jeremy will will demonstrate how to explore local business data from Yelp to understand user behavior, and identify interesting patterns and anomalies.

Apache Drill's schema-free approach makes it radically easier to analyze structured and semi-structured data, wherever it is. You'll leave this meetup with the knowledge and tools to explore, analyze and visualize the data in your Hadoop and NoSQL environments. If you're not already using Hadoop, this meetup will help you understand how you can leverage your existing SQL skills on Hadoop so that can you start riding the Hadoop wave right away.
