Feed: Cloudera Engineering Blog » Hadoop. Author: Jon Zuanich. Neil Kodner, an independent consultant, is the guest author of this post. Neil found inspiration, which spurred innovation at Hadoop World 2010 from a moments decision to capture the #hw2010 streaming Twitter feed. During the Hadoop World 2010 keynote, a majority of attendees were typing away on their laptops as Mike Olson and Tim O’Reilly dazzled the audience.  Many of these laptop-users appeared to be tweeting as the keynote was taking place.   Since I have more than a passing interest in twitter, Hadoop, and text mining, I thought it would be a great ...

Feed: Cloudera Engineering Blog » Hadoop. Author: Alex Kozlov. Fraud has multiple meanings and the term can be easily abused.  The definition of fraud has undergone multiple changes throughout the years and is elusive as well as fraud itself.  The modern legal definition of fraud usually contains a few elements that have to be proven in court and depends on the state/country.  For example, in California, the elements of fraud, which give rise to the fraud cause of action in the California Courts, are: (a) misrepresentation (false representation, concealment, or nondisclosure); (b) knowledge of falsity (or scienter); (c) intent to ...

Feed: Cloudera Engineering Blog » Hadoop. Author: Eli Collins. While the vast majority of the Hadoop development discussion takes place on the Apache Jira and various project mailing lists, it’s often useful to meet face to face for high bandwidth discussion. To that end, Facebook hosted the first Apache Hadoop contributors meeting yesterday at their campus in Palo Alto. Cloudera, Facebook, Yahoo! and the Apache HBase team were well-represented. It was great to see a broad cross section of Hadoop developers in one room. Contributor meetings will be held on a monthly basis, at a rotating location. While any Hadoop ... Read More

Feed: Cloudera Engineering Blog » Hadoop. Author: Chad Metcalf. At the beginning of September, we announced the first release of CDH2, our current testing repository. Packages in our testing repository are recommended for people who want more features and are willing to upgrade as bugs are worked out. Our testing packages pass unit and functional tests but will not have the same “soak time” as our stable packages. A testing release represents a work in progress that will eventually be promoted to stable. We plan on pushing new packages into the testing repository every 3 to 6 weeks.  And it ... Read More

Feed: Cloudera Engineering Blog » Hadoop. Author: Christophe Bisciglia. To say we were surprised by the quality and quantity of submissions we received for Hadoop World: NYC 2009 would be an understatement. We were amazed at how many “normal” companies have come to use Hadoop for everything ranging from business intelligence to protein alignment. It’s truly exciting to see how a system originally designed to process and index the web has evolved to support the data-driven workloads of so many industries. It’s with great joy that we invite you to come learn about what the following companies have done with ... Read More

Feed: Cloudera Engineering Blog » Hadoop. Author: Christophe Bisciglia. There’s been a lot of buzz about Apache Hadoop lately. Just the other day, some of our friends at Yahoo! reclaimed the terasort record from Google using Hadoop, and the folks at Facebook let on that they ingest 15 terabytes a day into their 2.5 petabyte Hadoop-powered data warehouse. But many people still find themselves wondering just how all this works, and what it means to them. We get a lot of common questions while working with customers, speaking at conferences, and teaching new users about Hadoop. If you, or folks ... Read More
