Note that we also offer a special rate for groups of 5 and more attendees with a 15% discount off the standard ticket price. “Berlin Buzzwords is by far one of the best conferences around if you care about search, distributed systems, and NoSQL...” says Shay Banon, founder of ElasticSearch. Berlin Buzzwords will take place June 4th and 5th 2012 at Urania Berlin (http://www.uraniaberlin.de). The 3rd edition of the conference for developers and users of open source projects, again focuses on everything related to scalable search, data-analysis in the cloud and NoSQL-databases. We are bringing together developers, scientists, and analysts working on innovative technologies for storing, analysing and searching today's massive amounts of digital data. Berlin Buzzwords is organised by newthinking communications GmbH in collaboration with Isabel Drost (Member of the Apache Software Foundation, PMC member Apache community development and co-founder of Apache Mahout), Jan Lehnardt (PMC member Apache CouchDB) and Simon Willnauer (PMC member Apache Lucene). More information including speaker interviews, ticket sales, press information as well as meet me at bbuzz buttons are available on the official website: http://berlinbuzzwords.de/ Looking forward to meeting you in June, Isabel PS: Did I mention that Berlin is all beautiful in Summer? signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

If you want official as in can say Apache Hadoop on it, then it will need to be managed and released as an apache project. That means somewhere in ASF SVN. If you want to cut your own, please give it a different name to avoid problems later. Huh? I am lost and confused here: As far as I understood Thomas is trying to create a Debian package which then goes into the Debian distribution (possibly sid at the moment). Same was done e.g. with Lucene, httpd, Tomcat etc. All of these packages are maintained by Debian people and not pushed by Apache guys. Still the packages are named tomcat5.5, apache2.2-common, liblucene-java. So it seems possible to name official Debian packages similar to the upstream Apache project w/o much problems.

I would guess that clusters of hundreds of worker nodes are different enough from one another to require additional configuration work on the administrators side anyways. If this were a wish list, I would love to be able to install a package hdfs, one for map reduce, another one for hbase (that itself depends on hdfs and map reduce). There should be one that is binary only, one for the development libs (as I would love to code against the Hadoop APIs), there will probably be one for the documentation. I would find configuration files where I expect them to be (somewhere at /etc/hadoop/ maybe) and data where it belongs (/var/hadoop?). The setup would help me to easily get Hadoop up and running as a newbie (something like apt-get install hadoop - maybe adjusting some configuration afterwards to add more nodes to the cluster). It would make upgrading to new Hadoop versions less painful. ;) Isabel -- |\ _,,,---,,_ Web: http://www.isabel-drost.de /,`.-'`'-. ;-;;,_ |,4- ) )-,_..;\ ( `'-' '---''(_/--' `-'\_) (fL) IM: xmpp://main...@spaceboyz.net signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Reminder: Apache Hadoop Get Together Berlin - December 2009
As announced on Apache Con US 09, the next Apache Hadoop Get Together Berlin is scheduled for next Wednesday: When: Wednesday December 16, 2009 at 5:00pm Where: newthinking store, Tucholskystr. 48, Berlin Talks scheduled so far: Richard Hutton (nugg.ad): Moving from five days to one hour. - This talk explains how we made data processing scalable at nugg.ad. The company's core business is online advertisement targeting. Our servers receive 10,000 requests per second resulting in data of 100GB per day. As the classical data warehouse solution reached its limit, we moved to a framework built on top of Hadoop to make analytics speedy,data mining detailed and all of our lives easier. We will give an overview of our solution involving file system structures, scheduling, messaging and programming languages from the future. Jörg Möllenkamp (Sun): Hadoop on Sun Abstract: Hadoop is a well known technology inside of Sun. This talk want to show some interesting use cases of Hadoop in conjunction with Sun technologies. The first show case wants to demonstrate how Hadoop can used to load massive multicore system with up to 256 threads in a single system to the max. The second use case shows how several mechanisms integrated in Solaris can ease the deployment and operation of Hadoop even in non-dedicated environments. The last usecase will show the combination of the Sun Grid Engine and Hadoop. Talk may contain command-line demonstrations ;). Nikolaus Pohle (nurago): M/R for MR - Online Market Research powered by Apache Hadoop. Enable consultants to analyze online behavior for audience segmentation, advertising effects and usage patterns. A big Thanks goes to the newthinking store for providing a room in the center of Berlin for us. Another big thanks goes to StudiVZ for sponsoring videos of the talks.
