Chicago Big Data: Future of Data Processing with Apache Hadoop (August 21, 2012)

Personal notes from the Chicago Big Data meeting this past week at 1871 at Merchandise Mart, a tech hub for startups which opened just over 3 months ago, led by Bobby Evans, a developer and tech lead at Yahoo! Arun Murthy, founder and architect at Hortonworks, was planning to present with Bobby, but his flight was delayed and so was not able to make it to the meeting, and the Skype connection with him ended up being poor, so he did not speak. Bobby has been working with Arun for about 1.5 years.
- title of presentation was "Future of Data Processing with Apache Hadoop"
- Bobby gave an overview of Hadoop, discussed what YARN offers, and then looked down the road
- there are two main components to classic Hadoop MapReduce: JobTracker and TaskTracker
