Drilling in on SQL and Hadoop

Data Masters and Big Data Folk!

This meetup is proudly sponsored by MapR, Wednesday November 19th, 2014 (6pm) at Blix Spaces, Level 2 of 283 Normanby Road, Port Melbourne.

Topic of the Night – ‘Drill' by MapR (Tomer Shiran, founder and PMC member of Apache Drill).

Sponsor of the night is once again our friends at MapR, their 2nd sponsorship (look fwd to many to come) on all things big data with a side of pizza & beer on Wednesday November 19th.

Synopsis

Apache Drill's schema-free approach makes it radically easier to analyze structured and semi-structured data, wherever it is. You'll leave this meetup with the knowledge and tools to explore, analyze and visualize the data in your Hadoop and NoSQL environments. If you're not already using Hadoop, this meetup will help you understand how you can leverage your existing skills with Hadoop so that can you start riding the Hadoop wave right away.

Tomer Shiran, founder and PMC member of Apache Drill, will demonstrate how to explore and analyze real-world data using popular open source technologies such as Apache Drill, Hadoop and MongoDB.
