Cloudera Search + RDS (MySQL)

This meetup focuses on Scalability and technologies to enable handling large amounts of data: Hadoop, HBase, distributed NoSQL databases, and more!

There's not only a focus on technology, but also everything surrounding it including operations, management, business use cases, and more.

We've had great success in the past, and are growing quickly! Previous guests were from Twitter, LinkedIn, Amazon, Cloudant, Microsoft, 10gen/MongoDB, and more.

This month's guests:

Ronan Stokes, a Cloudera solution architect,

Cloudera Search (SolrCloud+Hadoop)

Cloudera Search (http://cloudera.com/content/cloudera/en/products/cdh/search.html), which uses Lucene (among other things) to make search solve a Hadoop problem: how to let non-technical users interactively explore and analyze data in Hadoop. It’s another way for users to interact with Hadoop data and for developers to build Hadoop applications.

Fay Hou, Independent Database Engineer

Some Fun Time with AWS RDS

I will share the benefits and the challenges I've encountered with RDS (MySQL). Real cases have been opened with Amazon on issues like database low memory and database outages.Open questions like what is the Multi-Availabity Zone deployments.

Our format is flexible: We usually have speakers who talk for ~30 minutes each and then do Q+A, plus discussion.

There'll be beer afterwards, of course!
