Talk Abstract: Finding a needle in a stack of needles - adding Search to the Hadoop Ecosystem

Apache Hadoop is enabling organizations to collect larger,
more varied data - but after it's collected how will it be found? Your
users expect to be able to search for information using simple text
based queries -- regardless of data location, size, and complexity.
How do they quickly find information that's just been created, or been
stored for months or even years? Cloudera Search team lead Patrick
Hunt will present their solution to this problem; what architecture is
necessary to search HDFS and HBase? How was Apache Solr, Lucene, Flume
and MapReduce integrated to allow for Near Real Time and Batch
indexing of documents? What are the solved problems and what's still
to come? Join us for an exciting discussion on this new technology.
