This event is sponsored by Cloudera Inc. (http://www.cloudera.com/), one of the biggest Hadoop Distributions on the market that provides Apache Hadoop-based software, support and services, and training to business customers.

Cloudera's open-source Apache Hadoop distribution, CDH (Cloudera Distribution Including Apache Hadoop), targets enterprise-class deployments of that technology. More than 50% of its engineering output is donated upstream to the various Apache-licensed open source projects (Apache Hive, Apache Avro, Apache HBase, and so on) that combine to form the Hadoop platform. Cloudera is also a sponsor of the Apache Software Foundation.

Description

Impala: A modern, open source, MPP SQL query engine for Apache Hadoop

Cloudera Impala provides fast, ad hoc SQL query capability for Apache Hadoop, complementing traditional MapReduce batch processing.

Learn the design choices and architecture behind Impala, and how to use near-ubiquitous SQL to explore your own data at scale.

Kite SDK: It's for Developers

The Kite SDK is an open source set of libraries, tools, examples, and documentation focused on helping developers build systems on top of the Apache Hadoop ecosystem.

In this talk, attendees will get an introduction to Kite SDK components, as well as learn (via examples) how Kite makes it easier to work with data in HDFS and Apache HBase as records and datasets, just as you would with a relational database.
