HadoopSummit

They know their crowd -- e.g., developers who live on caffeine.

Coinventor (with his PhD stucent) of vector processing.

this guy is good http://www.fortmillt...

Here is his bio http://homepages.cwi...

Cool guy

What use cases does vector processing support in Hadoop/Big Data?

Listening to Prof. Boncz, as a programmer I too have seen architectures and complex systems (e.g. big data) that felt "like black magic" until I became comfortable with the tools that supported them.

Boncz - homegrown parallel processing path development is only for the few - turn to MapR, SQL Hadoop - interesting

@BeatsMusic @Norrisjack @furrier -
Now $AAPL Beats?
#Hadoop #OpenSource

MapR would be great for that! Especially because recommendations are formed from highly interconnected webs of relationships between people and groups of people (preference-to-preference.)

@DrDre - Rapper, Producer, Entrepeneur, #datascientist ?

So with Apple buying Beats for its streaming music service, will that have an impact on Apple's own Big Data strategy?

So much focus on #security today. Love it..

MapR provides deep architectural innovations around Apache Hadoop, which is an append-only file system on LInux at core.

An incremental improvement to provide those facilities is not possible if the architecture is not there, Norris says.

MapR quoted journalist that "cash is not a strategy" - i think that funding sales and sys engineers is good strategy for emerging mkt like #hadoop

Norris believes that as MapR focuses more on developer tools, such as the sandbox, that developers will find more reasons to try it out and realize just the sort of capabilities it has. Thus leading to greater adoption.

That's generally the way of things. Those pegboards are always FULL of job posting.
