This months meetup is being hosted by BT at their head office by St. Pauls Tube station.

Cloudera will be sponsoring refreshments and video recording for this month.

Details of the talks:

• Building Hadoop Data Applications with Kite - Tom White (https://twitter.com/tom_e_white), Software Engineer at Cloudera

With a such a large number of components in the Hadoop
ecosystem, writing Hadoop applications can be a big challenge for newcomers. In this talk Tom looks at best practices for building data applications that run on Hadoop, and introduces the Kite SDK, an open source project created at Cloudera with the goal of simplifying Hadoop application development by codifying many of these best practices.
