Twin Cities Code Camp

OK, so you are aware what Apache Hadoop is, but you are struggling to understand where and when it should be used? Is it a replacement for the database, part of the "cloud", or useful for my problems? In this session we will briefly discuss common Hadoop deployments both physical and virtual and then follow that up with an in depth discussion of the code which implements two common use cases and one unique use case. Learning by code, we will pick apart Data Warehouse Integration, Cheap and Deep Storage, and Stitching Maps Together. All attendees will be given the code discussed in class and a downloadable virtual machine ready to execute the code examples discussed in class.
