Bucharest HUG, October Meetup

Agenda for HUG Bucharest Meetup on 30.10.14 at 19h EET [revised 30.10.14]

Talk 1 - 'Elastic Search'

Cristi Toader will give a presentation about Couchbase and Elasticsearch, showing strengths and weaknesses for both of them. Focus points of this talk will be:

• Couchbase easily handles massive volumes of data requests; it is nevertheless hard to use Couchbase for data management (the process is to slow)

• For data interpretation it is recommended to use Hadoop but for real time results, Elasticsearch has proven to be the best choice.

• Couchbase can automatically sync with Elasticsearch which is perceived as an external cluster.

• Practical exercise: what happens when you lose your data. Other Use case scenarios for data storage and research

• Live demo: run Couchbase and Elasticsearch clusters to obtain real time statistics.

Talk 2 - 'Data for Big Data Applications - Special Scaling Issues'

Calin Burloiu & Marius Ionescu's presentation covers two essential topics related to scaling Big Data applications:

• Special scaling issues from doing analyses on Petabyte sized clusters

• Data pipeline: the roundtrip path from front-end consumer web applications to HDFS and Hbase and back

Talk 3 - 'Couchbase 3.0'

David Maier (Senior Solutions Engineer at Couchbase) will take you through top improvements and detail how Couchbase has simplified your life with great availability, scalability, security and developer features in 3.0.

Couchbase Server 3.0 and Couchbase Server SDK 2.0 have hundreds of improvements and many hidden gems. Example benefits are a faster indexing, optimizations for massive data sets, a better resource utilization, incremental backups, a better Ultra High Availability and security improvements.
