2009 Session: Data Analysis in the Cloud with Apache Hadoop
Wednesday, 15:35 - 16:25
Track: In The Cloud
The Cloud enables us to store and process massive amounts of data. This talk will begin by introducing Apache Hadoop, an open source implementation of Google's MapReduce and Google File System (GFS). We will see how Hadoop utilizes the cloud to distribute data across a set of nodes, and run distributed computations on those nodes to allow for a deeper and broader understanding of one's data.
