Software Architecture & Modeling SIG

The Software Architecture & Modeling (SAM) SIG focuses on two main areas: the roles and responsibilities of the software architect and related functions; and technical matters of interest to the architect / abstractionist / modeler.

Meetings will generally be structured in a two-part format: in the first part a practicing software architect will present topics based on real-world experience in the domain. The second part will be a technical presentation that addresses tools, techniques & methodologies and similar subjects.
 

Sponsor:

The SAM SIG is sponsored by: Agilis Solutions.

Title: Thinking at Scale with Hadoop

Description:
Processing big data with Hadoop requires a new way of thinking about data problems. Many people approach Hadoop with an SQL or MPP bias, but the inherent nature of the map-reduce paradigm means a fields/operations/pipes view is more appropriate. In this talk, we'll cover examples of typical data processing tasks and how to model them using this approach, as well as how to accelerate this type of development using the Cascading open source project.

Speaker Bio:
Ken Krugler has been a software developer, consultant, trainer and entrepreneur for over 20 years. He started Krugle in 2005, as a pioneer in code search and an early adopter/supporter of Nutch, Hadoop, Lucene and Solr. Currently, his Bixo Labs web mining company uses Hadoop, Cascading, and Bixo to solve large-scale web mining and data analysis problems. He is a committer for the Apache Tika project, an author of one of the new Lucene In Action use cases, and an expert in web crawling and data mining.
