Apache Spark Lightning Night

This will be an evening of Apache Spark (http://spark.apache.org/) Lightning talks with some of our friends visiting NY for Strata. Special thanks to Cloudera (http://cloudera.com/) for helping us with the venue. And what a venue it is! The Highline Loft (https://www.google.com/search?q=The+Highline+Loft&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS504US504&es_sm=91&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAmoVChMIi5Gs_caYyAIVRTeICh2E8wm3&biw=1327&bih=678&dpr=0.9) is just 8 blocks South of the Javits Center - where StrataConf is being held. If you're near Javits, you can walk down 11th or walk along the Highline (http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2011/04/ny-high-line/goldberger-text) elevated park.

Here's who is on the dance card so far:
