Apache Druid: the open source, performant, real-time, analytical datastore

Apache Druid (incubating) makes it faster and easier for businesses to democratise the data exploration experience on vast quantities of real-time and historical data. First, we will hear a sample of the exciting real-world examples of Druid (http://druid.io) in action, drawing attention to the technical and business problems Druid solves. In the second half, each of the components of an Apache Druid cluster is described, along with the data and query optimisations at its core, that unlock fresh, fast data for all.
