Using Tessera with Hadoop and Spark for Big-Data Analysis!

Systems Engineer Chris Putnam of Cloudera will present Practical Tips for running Spark on your Hadoop Cluster. This presentation takes a high-level look at Spark from a Hadoop Administrator’s perspective and provides key concepts and tips to support Spark users running on the cluster.

Professor David Zeitler of GVSU will present on Tessera ( http://tessera.io/ ), a new R open-source subsystem for big-data analysis being developed by Bill Cleveland and his team. Dr. Zeitler has been testing it in combination with Hadoop and may also be trying out a Spark backend using Spark 1.4. We'll meet at GVSU, DeVos Hall, room 109D. Thanks to GVSU for providing the venue and to Dr. Zeitler for making the arrangements.

Pizza will be served at 7 PM after the first presentation, courtesy of GVSU. Thanks, GVSU!

Looking forward to seeing you there!
