Big Data Analytic Topic - Cloudera presentation on SPARK

Cloudera will be presenting "Spark" at this event. Join us to hear from Cloudera Expert Rob Ryan and Cloudera engineer - Ben White/

What is Spark?

Apache Spark is an open source, parallel data processing framework that complements Apache Hadoop (http://www.cloudera.com/content/cloudera/en/products-and-services/cdh.html) to make it easy to develop fast, unified Big Data applications combining batch, streaming, and interactive analytics on all your data. In collaboration with Databricks (http://www.databricks.com) – the company leading the development of Spark – Cloudera offers commercial support for Spark with Cloudera Enterprise (http://www.cloudera.com/content/cloudera/en/products-and-services/cloudera-enterprise.html). Fast, Powerful Data Processing

For analysts and data scientists who rely on iterative algorithms (e.g. clustering/classification), Spark is 10-100x faster than MapReduce delivering faster time to insight on more data, resulting in better business decisions and user outcomes.
