Big Analytics with R, Cassandra, and Hive #Cassandra #rstats #Hadoop

hey #hadoop folks, we open sourced @ambrose today, a tool for visualization and real-time monitoring of data workflows

By any metric,@hortonworks & @cloudera are rocking the #Hadoop market <"losing count of petabyte scale Hadoop clusters"

Want to try #Hadoop and R? @JeffreyBreen has a step-by-step guide to getting started on EC2: #rstats

cool to see @revolutionr integrating hadoop and r, and targeting cdh:

Scalability of the #Hadoop Distributed File System -

"Cassandra has seen some impressive adoption success over the past months, leading some to conclude that Cassandra is the frontrunner in the highly scalable databases space (a subset of the hot NoSQL category). Among all the attention, some misunderstandings have been propagated, which I'd like to clear up."

#Opensource project for large scale social network analysis with #Hadoop on Sourceforge: #SNA (via @shashivelur)

how long before we see a Hadoop for Pregel?

this was useful for getting Cloudera up and running in VirtualBox

large scale data analytics, indexing and search...as a service. spoke with Bradford a week or two ago, and as i told him, this is an interesting proposition. as more folks realize the need for big data processing, the value of such services only goes up.

"While the barriers to use something like Hadoop have fundamentally dropped there are only a handful of experts that can make your Hadoop cluster perform well. What’s needed is a new suite of services and tools that can analyze your cluster and automatically optimize your performance. Hadoop Timelines, while rudimentary, is the beginning of an exciting new business niche, Hadoop Performance Optimization (HPO)."

agreed, though i think more categories are being lumped in than are mentioned here

Hadoop in the real world. good piece by Dave.

from a Twitter employee, no less.

Doug Cutting on a format for tackling big data

this should be interesting to watch

"Mike Evans, vice president of corporate development at the open-source technology provider Red Hat, compares clouds today to the earliest online communities, such as CompuServe and America Online. "They were all siloed communities," he says. "You couldn't necessarily inter­operate with anybody else until the openness of the Internet came along." Evans believes that open-source projects are "critical" to establishing standards that would encourage more companies to use cloud technology.

as a couple of folks have observed to me now, it's interesting that Google isn't further ahead than it is

also interesting.

interesting.

great, great look at Hadoop by Bill

the Times has some very good people working for it at the moment

bummed i can't make this, should be very interesting

"Yahoo! recently launched what we believe is the worlds largest Apache Hadoop production application. The Yahoo! Search Webmap is a Hadoop application that runs on a more than 10,000 core Linux cluster"

so does Anant

"The use of RDBMSes as data backbones have to be rethought under these volumes...When the likes of Adam Bosworth, Mike Stonebraker, Pat Helland and Werner Vogels are saying as much, it behooves us to listen." - this drumbeat is getting louder by the day
