Doors at 6:30pm
Presentation starts at 7:00pm

Abstract:
As the landscape of big data processing engines rapidly evolves, many are left to wonder which tool they should use? Hadoop, Spark, something else? In this session, you'll learn about which engines are a best fit for specific use cases, skill sets, code deployments, and resource constraints. We'll provide a framework for deciding on the right tool for your job and help you determine when you shouldn't choose one over the other, but rather use both in conjunction. You can also expect to learn how cloud technologies are simplifying infrastructure to make it easier to leverage multiple data engines and avoid lock-in.

After party: Tobacco Road Sports Cafe, 280 S. Mangum Street, Durham, NC

Getting there: Fuqua is right across the street from the Science Drive Parking lot, which is available for visitor parking.

If the Science Drive lot is full (unlikely), you can use the Parking Garage IV, which is also on Science Drive (135 Science Dr; Durham NC).

You can see the HCA Inc Auditorium from the Science Drive entrance.

Update: 3/13/2016: We had to change the room, as the one originally scheduled is under repair. The rest of the details are the same.
