Building Hadoop Data Applications with Kite

With a such a large number of components in the Hadoop
ecosystem, writing Hadoop applications can be a big challenge for newcomers. In this talk Tom looks at best practices for building data applications that run on Hadoop, and introduces the Kite SDK, an open source project created at Cloudera with the goal of simplifying Hadoop application development by codifying many of these best practices.
