Learn about MapReduce - by Sandy Ryza from Cloudera
- November 15, 2012 · 5:30 PM
Invented by Google, and made popular by Hadoop, MapReduce is a practical programming model for gobbling up huge volumes of unstructured data distributed across clusters of commodity hardware. Oh, and you can do it all in Java!
Trivial? No, but Sandy Ryza from Cloudera offered to map this model to things we can relate to, and reduce the complexity to concepts we can understand :-)
Learn the basics of MapReduce, a programming abstraction that allows for parallel processing of massive datasets without the worries of distributed systems and fault tolerance. We'll talk at a high level about how it works and delve into what kinds of applications it's suited for, basic examples, and best practices. We'll cover some of the details of writing MapReduce programs on Hadoop, the open source implementation which is written in and for Java.
As always, the venue, food, drinks, and giveaways will be provided by our sponsors.

MapReduce is a fascinating computing paradigm and while Sandy is definitely passionate about the subject, he needs to polish a bit his presentational style.

Speaker had poor presentation skills and the subject matter was too elementary. This subject material might have been good for an undergraduate introduction to MapReduce, not to an audience of computer professionals.

Young, inexperienced speaker. Hard to understand. He did try, though.
