Link/Details: http://www.meetup.com/Seattle-Hadoop-HBase-NoSQL-Meetup/calendar/13704371/ This meetup focuses on Scalability and technologies to enable handling large amounts of data: Hadoop, HBase, distributed NoSQL databases, and more! There's not only a focus on technology, but also everything surrounding it including operations, management, business use cases, etc. We've had great success in the past, and are growing quickly! Including guests from LinkedIn, Amazon, Twitter, Facebook, Cloudant, and 10gen/MongoDB. This month's guests: Mike Mayo, Rackspace, Learn details on Rackspace's new Open Cloud offering -- a complete scalable cloud stack, but open source!

Seattle Hadoop/NoSQL: Facebook, more Discussion. Thurs May 27th
We've heard your feedback from the last meetup: we're having less speakers and more discussion. Yay! http://www.meetup.com/Seattle-Hadoop-HBase-NoSQL-Meetup/ We're expecting: 1. Facebook will talk about Hive (a SQL-like language for MapReduce) 2. OpsCode will talk about cluster management with Chef 3. Then we'll break up into groups and have casual Hadoop/NoSQL related discussions and Q&A with several experts, so you can learn more! Also, stay tuned for news on a FREE Seattle Hadoop Community & Training day in late July. We're going to get some fantastic people, and you'll have hands-on experience with all the Hadoop ecosystem.

Re: Experience with indexing billions of documents?
Hey there, We've actually been tackling this problem at Drawn to Scale. We'd really like to get our hands on LuceHBase to see how it scales. Our faceting still needs to be done in-memory, which is kinda tricky, but it's worth exploring.

Language Detection for Analysis?
Hey there, We're trying to add foreign language support into our new search engine -- languages like Arabic, Farsi, and Urdu (that don't work with standard analyzers). But our data source doesn't tell us which languages we're actually collecting -- we just get blocks of text. Has anyone here worked on language detection so we can figure out what analyzers to use? Are there commercial solutions? Much appreciated! -- http://www.roadtofailure.com -- The Fringes of Scalability, Social Media, and Computer Science

A Presentation on Building a Hadoop + Lucene System Architecture
Hey all, I just wanted to send a link to a presentation I made on how my company is building its entire core BI infrastructure around Hadoop, HBase, Lucene, and more. It features a decent amount of practical advice: from rules for approaching scalability problems, to why we chose certain aspects of the Hadoop Ecosystem. Perhaps you can use it as justification for their decisions, or as a jumping-off point to utilizing it in the real world. I hope you find it helpful! You can catch it at my blog: http://www.roadtofailure.com . There's also a few inflammatory articles, such as "Social Media Kills the RDBMS". Ask me if you have any questions :) -- http://www.hadoopconsulting.com -- Making Hadoop and your web apps that use it scale http://www.roadtofailure.com -- The Fringes of Scalability, Social Media, and Computer Science

Hey everyone, SLIGHT change of plans. A few people have asked me to move to a place with Air Conditioning, since the temperature's in the 90's this week. So, here we go: Big Time Brewing Company 4133 University Way NE Seattle, WA 98105 Call me at 904-415-3009 if you have any questions.

THIS WEEK: PNW Hadoop, HBase / Apache Cloud Stack Users' Meeting, Wed Jul 29th, Seattle
Hello again! Yes, I know some of us are still recovering from OSCON. It's time for another delicious meetup to chat about Hadoop, HBase, Solr, Lucene, and more! UW is quite a pain for us to access until August, so we're changing the venue to one pretty close: Piccolo's Pizza 5301 Roosevelt Way NE (between 53rd St & 55th St) 6:45pm - 8:30 (or when we get bored)! As usual, people are more than welcome to give talks, whether they're long-format or lightning. I'd also really like to start thinking about hackathons, perhaps we could have one next month? I'll be talking about HBase .20 and the possibility of low-latency HBase Analytics. I'd be very excited to hear what people are up to!

Re: Aggregating/Grouping Document Search Results on a Field
Thanks for this -- we're also trying out bobo-browse for Lucene, and early results look pretty enticing.

Re: Aggregating/Grouping Document Search Results on a Field
Does the facet aggregation take place on the Solr search server, or the Solr client? It's pretty slow for me -- on a machine with 8 cores/ 8 GB RAM, 50 million document index (about 36M unique values in the "author" field), a query that returns 131,000 hits takes about 20 seconds to calculate the top 50 authors. The query I'm running is this: http://dttest10:8983/solr/select/select?q=java&facet=true&facet.field=authorname: On Thu, Jul 9, 2009 at 10:32 PM, Bradford Stephens wrote: > Oh, wow...

It looks like field collapsing may be the key: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-236 But it also doesn't seem to be 'finalized' yet.

Aggregating/Grouping Document Search Results on a Field
Greetings, We've been experimenting with grouping fields returned from document search results in Lucene, and we haven't gotten anything very encouraging. Basically, the more results we return, the longer it takes -- tens of seconds. Probably because we're doing expensive disks seeks. I'm hoping the SOLR crew out there may provide some insight :) What we're trying to do is similar to SQL's "GROUP BY". Let's say we have documents indexed by keyword for a content body, and also indexed by an Author name. If I search our document store (very large) for the word "laptop", I would like to be able to calculate the 10 authors that appeared the most. I've done some searching through the mailing list, but couldn't glean much insight.

Re: THIS WEEK: PNW Hadoop / Apache Cloud Stack Users' Meeting, Wed Jun 24th, Seattle
Hey all, Just writing a quick note of "thanks", we had another solid group of people show up! As always, we learned quite a lot about interesting use cases for Hadoop, Lucene, and the rest of the Apache 'Cloud Stack'. I couldn't get it taped, but we talked about: -Scaling Lucene with Katta and the Katta infrastructure -the need for low-latency BI on distributed document stores -Lots and lots of detail on Amazon Elastic MapReduce We'll be doing it again next month -- July 29th.

Re: Seattle / PNW Hadoop + Lucene User Group?
Hey everyone! I just wanted to give a BIG THANKS for everyone who came. We had over a dozen people, and a few got lost at UW :) [I would have sent this update earlier, but I flew to Florida the day after the meeting]. If you didn't come, you missed quite a bit of learning and topics. Such as: -Building a Social Media Analysis company on the Apache Cloud Stack -Cancer detection in images using Hadoop -Real-time OLAP -Scalable Lucene using Katta and Hadoop -Video and Network Flow -Custom Ranking in Lucene I'm going to update our wiki with the topics, and a few questions raised and the lessons we've learned. The next meetup will be June 24th. Be there, or be... boring :) Cheers, Bradford On Thu, Apr 16, 2009 at 3:27 PM, Bradford Stephens < bradfordsteph...@gmail.com> wrote: > Greetings, > > Would anybody be willing to join a PNW Hadoop and/or Lucene User Group > with me in the Seattle area?

PNW Hadoop + Apache Cloud Stack Meetup, Wed. May 27th:
Greetings, This is a friendly reminder that the 1st meetup for the PNW Hadoop + Apache Cloud Stack User Group is THIS WEDNESDAY at 6:45pm. We're very excited to have everyone attend! University of Washington, Allen Center Room 303, at 6:45pm on Wednesday, May 27, 2009. I'm going to put together a map, and a wiki so we can collab. The Allen Center is located here: http://www.washington.edu/home/maps/?CSE What I'm envisioning is a meetup for about 2 hours: we'll have two in-depth talks of 15-20 minutes each, and then several "lightning talks" of 5 minutes. We'll then have discussion and 'social time'. Let me know if you're interested in speaking or attending. I'd like to focus on education, so every presentation *needs* to ask some questions at the end. We can talk about these after the presentations, and I'll record what we've learned in a wiki and share that with the rest of us. Looking forward to meeting you all! Cheers, Bradford Stephens

Thanks for the responses, everyone. Where shall we host? My company can offer space in our building in Factoria, but it's not exactly a 'cool' or 'fun' place. I can also reserve a room at a local library. I can bring some beer and light refreshments.
