Feed: The Information Lab. Author: Ravi Mistry. 23 June, 2017 | Ravi Mistry The Data School; 2 years on. On the 23rd of June 2015, there was a spark in Central London. And two years later, this spark is now a burning flame, which has been a roaring success. I am, of course, talking about the Data School. An idea started by Tom Brown, Craig Bloodworth and (perhaps the most important piece of the jigsaw) Andy Kriebel ended up in eight complete strangers taking a leap of faith and joining an immersion programme like no other. It promised four months ... Read More

With this launch, our team tested and verified connections with leading ETL providers such as Informatica, Talend, and Data Virtuality, as well as business intelligence (BI) providers ... Read More

Feed: Cloudera Engineering Blog » Cloud. Author: Justin Kestelyn. Our thanks to AWS Solutions Architect Rahul Bhartia for allowing us to republish his post below. Apache Hadoop provides a great ecosystem of tools for extracting value from data in various formats and sizes. Originally focused on large-batch processing with tools like MapReduce, Apache Pig, and Apache Hive, Hadoop now provides many tools for running interactive queries on your data, such as Impala, Drill, and Presto. This post shows you how to use Amazon Elastic MapReduce (Amazon EMR) to analyze a data set available on Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) ... Read More

Feed: Planet big data. Author: Curt Monash. June 14, 2017 A large fraction of my briefings this year have included a focus on data security. This is the first year in the past 35 that that’s been true.* I believe that reasons for this trend include: Security is an important aspect of being “enterprise-grade”. Other important checkboxes have been largely filled in. Now it’s security’s turn. A major platform shift, namely to the cloud, is underway or at least being planned for. Security is an important thing to think about as that happens. The cloud even aside, technology trends have ... Read More

Feed: Cloudera Engineering Blog » Hadoop. Author: Justin Kestelyn. Using this new tutorial alongside Cloudera Live is now the fastest, easiest, and most hands-on way to get started with Hadoop. At Cloudera, developer enablement is one of our most important objectives. One only has to look at examples from history (Java or SQL, for example) to know that knowledge fuels the ecosystem. That objective is what drives initiatives such as our community forums, the Cloudera QuickStart VM, and this blog itself. Today, we are providing what we believe is a model for Hadoop developer enablement going forward: a definitive end-to-end tutorial ... Read More

Feed: Hortonworks Blog – Hortonworks. Author: Kevin Jordan. The ability to make the right decisions quickly hinges on the best data ingestion available. The reward is improved patient experience and health. The Internet of Things (IoT) promises mountains of data-at-rest and the continuous flow of data-in-motion. Without the right solution, the cost to store the data and then derive information from these disparate sources can leave a healthcare company critically unequipped to provide excellent patient experience. As a pioneer in the healthcare industry, Geisinger Health System (Geisinger) transitioned its architecture to meet the business needs of an ever-changing industry. Based ... Read More
