Build Real-Time Scalable Data Applications on Apache HBase with Kiji
Speaker: Aaron Kimball, WibiData
Date: February 19th, 6:30PM
Location: Bronto Software, Durham, NC
Large-scale data has challenges at every phase in its lifecycle: capture, storage, processing, and result serving. Depending on the nature of the data, and the analysis goals of a data team, imposing the right schema on a NoSQL storage system such as Apache HBase can enable more efficient storage, retrieval, and analysis of relevant information as well as increase the maintainability of such a system moving forward.

Cloudera Impala: Real-time queries with Apache Hadoop
Speaker: Ricky Saltzer, Cloudera
Date: January 29, 6:30PM
Location: Bronto Software, Durham, NC
Join us for this technical deep dive about Cloudera Impala, the project that makes scalable parallel databse technology available to the Hadoop community for the first time. Impala is an open-sourced code base that allows users to issue low-latency queries to data stored in HDFS and Apache HBase using familiar SQL operators.

After a summer break, TriHUG is back with a lineup of great speakers this fall, starting on Tuesday, August 14th, with Ricky Saltzer from Cloudera!
Ricky will be talking about Hive, a data warehouse system for Hadoop that uses a SQL like interface for ad-hoc querying.
RSVP here: http://trihug-08-2012.eventbrite.com/
Topic: Intro to Hive
Speaker: Ricky Saltzer, Cloudera
Date: August 14th, 6:30PM

ZooKeeper - An Introduction and Practical Use Cases”
Speaker: David Arthur, Lucid Imagination
Date: May 22nd, 6:30PM
Location: Bronto Software, Durham, NC
RSVP: http://trihug-05-2012.eventbrite.com/
Abstract: ZooKeeper is a distributed coordination service with a strong emphasis on update consistency. It can be used for simple things like configuration management and distributed id assignment, as well as more complex things like distributed locking and service discovery. The API provided by ZooKeeper is rather low-level and requires a bit of boilerplate code, so we will also look at some higher level frameworks.
David Arthur is a software engineer at Lucid Imagination working on the new “Big Data” team. He has been working for the last two years building distributed systems where Hadoop has been a central component. Prior to working in the “big data” space, he focused mainly on data side of applications: schema optimization, data warehousing, etc. He attended Florida State University where he received a B.S. in Physics and completed two years of graduate studies in Scientific Computing.
Title: IBM Watson: Big Data Text Analytics
Location: Bronto Software in Durham, NC
Speaker: John Gerken
RSVP: http://trihug-04-2012.eventbrite.com/
Abstract: What is IBM Watson? It managed to defeat two previously undefeated human opponents in a game show and it has shown how super computers are becoming more and more able to understand and answer questions in ways previously reserved for the domain of human thought. But what most don’t realize is how the synergy between Big Data and text analytics was integral to enabling IBM Watson’s capabilities. Curious as to how Watson leveraged Big Data and text analytics technologies? Wondering what the future may hold for applying them? If so, attend TriHUG on April 12 to find out.
Speaker Bio: John Gerken is a Senior Software Architect in IBM’s Emerging Technologies jStart Team, where he is responsible for recognizing, promoting and developing prototypes of software technologies and trends that could positively impact IBM’s customers. John is an IBM Watson Team Leader working to enable Watson to be used by customers. He is also a recognized thought leader in the area of Situational Applications and mashup ecosystems and is a principle evangelist for these technologies. John is a member of the North Carolina Technical Experts Council (NC TEC), which is an IBM Academy affiliated technical advisory and vitality organization serving the RTP, NC area.
