 Hadoop a Worldwind Tour

 6:45 PM, Suspenders Restaurant
 http://www.suspendersbar.com/location.php

 This presentation gives a brief high level overview of Hadoop. Next, we
 hit the ground running with a quick practical example of how Hadoop
 solves a "big data" problem. We also discuss how the demonstrated Hadoop
 processing model scales out to terabytes of data and hundreds or even
 thousands of computers.

 slides are at http://www.nycbug.org/files/meeting_2010-01.pdf

 Edward Capriolo, works at About.com System Operations. When not in
 break-fix mode, he researches high/traffic high-availability and
 scalable solutions. Edward is a committer to the Apache Hadoop Hive sub
 project.
