10th BigData/DataScience­­­ Meetup

We are back with another interesting meetup focused on big data technologies !

Schedule of the meetup :

18:00 - 18:20
Food, drinks and time to meet new/old friends !

18:20 - 18:30
Welcoming speech by Cristian Cazan (https://www.linkedin.com/in/cristiancazan/)

18:30 - 19:15
Real time processing with Spark Streaming : Adela Muresan (https://www.linkedin.com/in/adelamuresan) (Ve Interactive (http://developers.veinteractive.com/))

"Spark Streaming is widely used when speaking about real time processing. It adds the real time, or better say near-real time capabilities on top of Spark Core. You can basically use the functionalities from Spark but in a speed layer. We will have a look at Spark Streaming with its main features and what better way to understand it than a practical exercise? We will go through some examples, depicting some real use cases. One of the examples will also focus on the interaction between Spark Streaming and Apache Kafka and how they can be used together to achieve continuous, fast data processing."

19:15 - 19:55
OpenStreetMap in the age of Spark and Parquet : Adrian Bona (https://www.linkedin.com/in/adrianulbona/en) (Telenav (https://www.linkedin.com/company-beta/15352?pathWildcard=15352))

"OpenStreetMap is an open/collaborative map considered the Wikipedia of maps. There are tons of information available online and even books about it… anyway, not the history of OSM we will discuss, but rather we will take a look on the impressive dataset behind and how such a big map can be analysed with modern technologies as Apache Spark.

The talk will also give a short overview of Apache Parquet - the de facto columnar storage when working with Apache Spark."

19:55 - 20:05
Break

20:05 - 20:45
Combining BigData technologies with micro-services to build a highly scalable Machine Learning platform : Daniel Sarbe (https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielsarbe) (SDL (https://www.linkedin.com/company-beta/165895/life?pathWildcard=165895))

"The presentation will give an overview on how we combined various technologies from the BigData ecosystem (like Kafka, HBase, HDFS, ELK) with a containerized micro-services architecture(based on Docker, Mesos, Zookeeper) in order to build a highly scalable Machine Learning platform"

At the end of the meetup, we will find some place to drink few beers and have fun !

We want to thank Ve Interactive (http://developers.veinteractive.com/) for hosting this meetup !
