Of those three, where is the biggest gap? I'd argue #2 has yet to grow to the strength of either 1 or 3.

John Furrier the gap is #3 building a analytics app layer ontop of the data infra to build applications to the segment of 1 - data engines are need

Jeff Kelly

need to leverage #Hadoop as a storage and COMPUTATIONAL platform to get its full value #bigdatanyc

John Furrier advanced analytics apps is the most relevant right now from our research..

Jeff Kelly

agree - domain knowledge and the science very difficult combo to find

(((Ellen Friedman)))

I like the way NFS access to MapR platform makes #2 & #3 easier to do. Ex: Storm runs on MapR now w/o Kafka layer; Solr easy to use too #hw2013

John Furrier Solr is very important and enterprises need a cohesive platform with security..love how the platforms are getting mature..

Bay Area buzz real for big-data, IT etc. But cool global community for some #opensource projects like @ApacheMahout too. Shared innovation

Mahout is getting lots of positive attention.. what is the latest update there

(((Ellen Friedman))) Mahout v.0.8 new from July: streamlined, fast new k-means clustering algor, strong math library. And BIG interest in practical recommendation: Mahout + Solr

Apache is the case study of how open source should work..according to experts.. Storify use case very interesting here at #strataconf

Have to empower LOB folks, with a bit of Data Scientist POV, but LOB population MUCH larger, and impact or empowering them, HUGE!

domain expertise is very important but machine learning is the scale point for data science bc machines emulate people..that is where this scales according to the experts in the crowd

(((Ellen Friedman)))3

Best practices for large scale apps & machine learning benefit from the ability to connect legacy code & new innovation (d3 node.js Storm Solr) to Hadoop cluster. That's why I'm strong on access via NFS #hw2013 #mapr #analytics

nice I agree.. functionality is what customers care about but no lock in..

(((Ellen Friedman))) Absolutely. No vendor lock in even w MapR - it's Hadoop API compatible, HBase API compatible. Gives customers open choices now & later #hw2013 #bigdata

Biggest surprise from the Keynotes?

Very surprised by the clear articulation of who is competing with who..liked @mapr and @mikeolson presentations

keynotes had mix of commercial pimping and technical conversations..Intel was all nuts and bolts not pushing Intel but tech..same with Facebook

Jeff Frick Any "Ah Ha" moments?

@cloudera message of Data Hub is very smart of them and clear positioning against Pivotal and IBM .. they want to be more than a #hadoop distro

Crowd Captain2

Topic in the crowd at #strataconf - continuous availability that is zero downtime; if datacenter goes out what happens.. Netflix has taught us to watch this..who has what? what is the solution

this is a key area of importance for any large enterprise and mainly financial markets #bigdataNYC issue not being discussed much at #strataconf #important for #cloud

active replication is a key part and @hortonworks and Apache needs to keep the innovation coming to fill the whitespaces.. Hadoop 2 is huge here

(((Ellen Friedman)))2

Security is key issue for Hadoop. News; MapR has engineered new native authentication as they integrated security into their Hadoop distro. Details at http://bit.ly/1au8QcT #strataconf #hw2013

John Furrier1

What is going on with Pivotal many want to know..Partnership with Hortonworks and Cloudera and yet competitor; Cloudera clearing moving to bigger mkt than just distro

Dave Vellante1

abhi mehta on #theCUBE says Hadoop must be more than just a cheap storage platform - value is about storing, processing and analyzing w/in a domain so humans can be more productive

what's great is developers are jamming hard; businesses are adopting; startups are getting funded; VCs investing in value plays #bigdataNYC @theCUBE

(((Ellen Friedman)))1

Huge fan of Apache, esp new projects like @ApacheDrill with its 1st milestone release & Apache Storm, mature project entering Apache & building community #hw2013

Storm are saying Spark is generating more buzz.. Drill is very interesting

Jeff Kelly

Storm is getting a ton of buzz, huge interest in streaming analytics - making decisions and executing actions in real time
