Tech Talk: Building a System for Machine and Event-oriented Data, and Analytics with Rocana

In this session, we’ll follow the flow of data through an end-to-end system built to handle tens of terabytes an hour of event-oriented data, providing real-time streaming, in-memory, SQL, and batch access to this data. We’ll go into detail on how open source systems such as Hadoop, Kafka, Solr, and Impala/Hive can be stitched together to form the base platform; describe how and where to perform data transformation and aggregation; provide a simple and pragmatic way of managing event metadata; and talk about how applications built on top of this platform get access to data and extend its functionality.

Speaker: Joey Echevarria is the Director of Engineering at Rocana where he builds applications for scaling IT operations built on the Apached Hadoop platform. Joey is a committer on the Kite SDK, an Apache-licensed data API for the Hadoop Ecosystem. Joey was previously a Software Engineer at Cloudera where he contributed to several ASF projects including Apache Flume, Apache Sqoop, Apache Hadoop, and Apache HBase. Joey is also a co-author of Hadoop Security, published by O'Reilly Media.
