Hadoop Summit Makes Big Data Engaging
July 26, 2013
The Hadoop Summit was held at the end of June in San Jose, California. The event focuses primarily on end users and developers of things built on and around Apache Hadoop open source technology. However, as Hadoop is integrated into more and more software offerings, Hadoop’s reach continues to expand. SmartData Collective offers a good write-up of how Hadoop is making Big Data technology more dynamic. Read more in their article, “Hadoop Summit and Hortonworks Promise to Make Big Data More Engaging.”
The article describes the event:
“Hadoop Summit is the biggest event on the West Coast centered on Hadoop, the open source technology for large-scale data processing. The conference organizers, Hortonworks, estimated that more than 2,400 people attended, which if true would be double-digit growth from last year. Growth on the supplier side was even larger, which indicates the opportunity this market represents. Held in Silicon Valley, the event attracts enterprise customers, industry innovators, thought leaders and venture capitalists.”
The author then goes on to say that among the companies that are making big gains in information discovery with Hadoop are LucidWorks and Microsoft. LucidWorks uses Hadoop in its LucidWorks Big Data offering, which has received quite a bit of attention for its usability and effectiveness.
