Joint Meetup: Spark Streaming & Dealing with State

Details
Hey Scala Members!
We've teamed up with Apache Spark group for a Scala-related Meetup. On Thursday June 16 @ 6pm, we're hosting a joint Meetup at Simba Technologies. François Garillot, a previous committer to Apache Spark, will be presenting to the group about dealing with state in Apache Spark Streaming.

About the Talk:
Spark Streaming: Dealing with State
One of the first steps in adopting stream processing is understanding that little if any data should be kept around during processing. Yet having completely stateless transformations is often difficult. We'll take a couple of examples of stream processing tasks where state might make sense — a simple aggregative ETL job, and an anomaly detection task — and drive them through the features Spark Streaming offers to address the issue of transforming DStreams with memory.
Audiences should come back from this talk with a better view when and where it's appropriate to collect some state in stream processing, and in the facilities available in Spark Streaming — now and in the future — to do so.
About the Speaker
François Garillot joined Swisscom in 2015, and has worked since on curating and understanding telecommunications data through big data tools. Previously, he has been working on Apache Spark Streaming's reliability at Lightbend (formerly Typesafe).
A select few of interests span machine learning — especially online models, approximation & hashing techniques, control theory, and unsupervised time series analysis. But he also enjoys skiing, sailing and hunting for good cheese in his free time.
