Bangalore Apache Druid - Sub-second Slice and Dice your Data!

Have you heard the term "Data River" before? If not this is meetup should be a great introduction to Data Rivers. Apache Druid is the newest tool in your analytics toolkit. It is a distributed, column-oriented OLAP database with native SQL support. It delivers sub-second ad-hoc queries against both streaming and batch (Hadoop) data. Come and learn about Data Rivers and how you can use Apache Druid to build your own. Tijo Thomas, Imply solution architect, will be speaking about Druid and Imply. We will also have a presentation by our generous hosts at Zeotap as a Lead, Data Analytics will speak about how they have implemented Druid.

Abstract:

Druid is an emerging standard in the data infrastructure world, designed for high-performance slice-and-dice analytics (“OLAP”) on large data sets. This talk is for you if you’re interested in learning more about pushing Druid’s analytical performance to the limit. Perhaps you’re already running Druid and are looking to speed up your deployment, or perhaps you aren’t familiar with Druid and are interested in learning the basics. Some of the tips in this talk are Druid-specific, but many of them will apply to any operational analytics technology stack.

The most important contributor to a fast analytical setup is getting the data model right. The talk will center around various choices you can make to prepare your data to get the best possible query performance.
