Aggregating online experiments data & Comparing Hadoop cloud offerings

Its time for a new Hadoop Meetup. And we're happy to announce that we have a talk from Booking.com, and one by yours truly. Roderik and Yati will talk about how Booking.com aggregates data from online experiments using Hadoop. And Niels, Constantijn, and Tim will talk about the current Hadoop cloud offerings.

Booking.com will sponsor the drinks and food, while GoDataDriven is sponsoring the location.

Agenda:

• 18:00 Arrive, mingle, food (pizza), drinks etc.

• 18:45 Using Hadoop for aggregating online experiments data at Booking.com by Roderik Koenders, Senior Data Scientist; Yati Sagade, Software Developer

• 19:45 Comparing Hadoop cloud offerings by Niels Zeilemaker, Constantijn Visinescu, and Tim van Cann

In this presentation, Niels, Constantijn, and Tim will compare current GCP, EMR, HDInsight, and Databricks. We'll explain what the pros and cons of each offering are, specifically looking into the possibility to link to your own tools, ease of deployment, time it takes to deploy, and their security.
