Getting Started on Hadoop
By now, everyone's heard of Hadoop and Big Data. But few have had time to actually get started.
Come see it in action with a demo by Big Data veteran Paco Nathan, and learn about benefits, tradeoffs, and software support.

The demo will be a real implementation, running Python scripts in Hadoop Streaming on the Elastic MapReduce service.
Examples will build on a "wordcount" app (which is the "Hello World" of MapReduce) to show how to perform text mining and some simple machine learning approaches.
Data for these examples comes from the "Enron email" data set available on Infochimps at http://infochimps.org/search?query=enron
We'll see what we can discover about those Enron email messages, using EMR.

Many thanks for the opportunity to present last night! Lots of great questions and discussion. Glad to meet so many new people working with AWS and Hadoop!

Src repo on GitHub shows more detail about Py scripts for MapReduce jobs used on Enron email. Also, check out the Gephi doc (requires d/l) which is a really fun tool for exploring social graphs.

suresh paiIt was a nice introduction to Hadoop (and I did not know much about it before). It would have been a lot nicer to experience at least word count example running in the Amazon elastic cloud and I do understand that hardy any time left at the end of presentation.

David LaiThis meetup gave a solid Hadoop introduction with a number of user cases to demo the potential of Hadoop. I've benefit a lot from this Meetup

Ferhat HatayAssistant OrganizerGreat to see a working example. I also liked the Datameer demo. I'll go over the slides and the example problem, and will try to see and learn more about Datameer interface. I hope I can get me a demo/developer allocation now ;)

Is the demo a toy example or a real implementation?
I'm looking for a helloworld example since I have no exposure to Hadoop code.
