A Bay Area based Hadoop user group focused on helping Hadoop users share experiences, problems and solutions, as well as learn new skills for building large-scale Hadoop-based systems.

Quarterly meetings of Oozie contributors. Users are very welcome to attend, however if space ever becomes an issue we reserve the right to prioritize accordingly.

Join us to learn about Hadoop and related technologies, including use cases, new features and exciting networking with other hadopp professionals.   See past meetups on YDNTheater Channel on YouTube, presentation slides available on Slideshare.  

There are meet-ups and there are meet-ups! So, why add another meet-up? Well, we felt that it’s time that there should be a meet-up wholly dedicated to all things around “ Big Data” & “ Cloud Computing”.

Cloud Computing technologies are changing the way we conceptualize, design & develop business solutions. These two buzzwords need to lose their “buzz” status and becom …

This is a meetup group for users and contributors to Apache Sqoop (incubating).   Sqoop is a system designed for efficiently transferring bulk data between Apache Hadoop and structured datastores such as relational databases. You can use Sqoop to import data from external structured datastores into Hadoop Distributed File System or related systems like Hive and HBase. Conversely, Sqoop can be used to extract data from Hadoop and export it to external structured datastores such as relational data …

With technologies such as Google Prediction API and mahout, it should now be easier to add for your website users: recommendations, separate ham from spam, and predict what newsletter content they will not consider spam. Let's explore and discuss these new technologies together and how we can use and efficienly implement/deploy them in our websites/projects/communities. Other applications of prediction/classification/clustering/collaborative filtering that I haven't thought of are welcome!

There are demands for good mathematicians to write algorithms that can churn through billions or trillions of data points and show where patterns emerge. The Economist data issue raised this issue as follows: "During the recent financial crisis it became clear that banks and rating agencies had been relying on models which, although they required a vast amount of information to be fed in, failed to reflect financial risk in the real world. This was the first crisis to be sparked by big data—and …

We are a Bay Area user group focused on helping Datameer users share experiences, tech tips, solve big data analytic problems and solutions.  This group is for those who want to learn and advance their knowledge and use of Datameer.  Intended to be casual, this Meetup will encourage knowledge sharing and discussions set 'unconference' style.  At the beginning of the meetup, we will showcase a best practice then break out into discussion groups.  All Datameer related topics will be welcome.
