Speaking at DataServices World on Hadoop

Posted October 8, 2008 * Comments(3)

I’m giving a talk on Data Processing In The Cloud on November 20th 2008 at DataServices World in the Fairmont in San Jose. I hope to see you there. Here’s the abstract:

Hadoop, an open source implementation of map/reduce, has garnered tremendous momentum in large scale data processing, marting, and on occasion warehousing. This session will examine:

  • The current state and industry adoption of Hadoop and cloud-based data processing
  • The programming model, capabilities, common patterns, and best-practices for Hadoop deployment and usage
  • The ecology of value-add technologies and services in the grid computing and data processing world
  • Models for using grid-based data processing alongside traditional technologies and techniques.

I’ll also be participating in UCSD Hackweek coming up in about 2 weeks.
