Analyzing SQL on Hadoop / Living with polyglot persistence - SQL vs NoSQL

Hello fellow data enthusiasts!

I am excited to schedule our next meetup and the topics are HOT!

As usual, we will have some networking time starting around 5:45 with pizza and beverages. One of the hot trending topics around which a lot of tech disruption is happening is the matter of using SQL over the data managed by the Hadoop stack. Many customers are asking why such a powerful language as SQL is restricted to relational. A senior engineer from IBM presents IBM's solution architecture to address this.

Also trending red hot is the NoSQL movement - an application friendly, web app development friendly, flexible data store. But is NoSQL for everything and everybody? If not, how do you objectively choose?

1. BigSQL v3.0 - SQL on Hadoop without compromise!

Speaker: Uday Kale, Senior Engineer, IBM

2. SQL, "No! SQL?" , "No SQL" - Living with Polyglot Persistence

Speaker: Penton

See ya all there!
