Sorry for the short notice. Tonight, January 06, 2010 at 6:45 NYC BUG (NYC BSD Users Group) have asked me to do a presentation on Hadoop.
Presentation Information: http://www.nycbug.org/index.php?NAV=Home;SUBM=10260 Slides: http://www.nycbug.org/files/meeting_2010-01.pdf Description: 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. I am excited here, because it is a chance to bring some BSD users into the hadoop fold. I also built a preliminary FreeBSD port of hadoop http://www.jointhegrid.com/jtg_ports/ in case after the presentation someone wants to dive into hadoop. Again, sorry for the short notice. Edward
