Apache MADlib + Apache HAWQ for advanced SQL machine learning on Hadoop

Dive deeper, Soar higher: MADlib + HAWQ for advanced SQL machine learning on Hadoop with Pivotal and Hortonworks speakers

The growing Apache ecosystem just got bigger and better -- now with the ability to crunch vast volumes of data using fully ANSI-compliant SQL and at-scale machine learning algorithms.

Apache HAWQ has been years in the making and derives its heritage from Greenplum Database and PostgreSQL. HAWQ enables developers, analysts, data scientists and engineers to run advanced SQL queries, transforming data sets of extreme size, visualizing data with standard tools, and seamlessly running R and Python in a highly-distributed fashion all in the same environment. Invoke powerful machine learning and advanced statistical functions using Apache MADlib, and build models on billions of rows of data.

Speakers from Pivotal and Hortonworks will discuss the following:

• Introduction to Apache HAWQ & Apache MADlib

• All about the Open Data Platform initiative

• Data science in the Hadoop ecosystem

• Live, end-to-end data science demo using Apache HAWQ, Apache MADLib, and Hortonworks Data Platform
