Seattle Hadoop Distributing Computing User Meeting

==================================================

    Bringing Hadoopists Together On the Nth

        Thursday of the Month

We focus predominately on distributed data

processing using a map reduce style. The meetings

are open to all and free of charge. 

When: Thursday December 2nd, 7:00 pm room,  7:15 start - 8:45

Where: University Heights Community Center, Room 110

Outline for December 2nd:

    Apache Mahout:

    Chris will give an introduction to Apache

    Mahout ( http://mahout.apache.org/ ) , a machine

    learning library that runs on Hadoop.  In it he'll

    demonstrate how you can use K-Means clustering to

    group rows of data together and show how this can

    be done with minimal java programming.

    The take away will be that you can start using

    this library soon without much investment.

    Yahoo S4:

        Sean will give an intro and overview of the

    computing model of S4 and how it relates to Dryad

    ( http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/dryad/ )

    and HOP ( http://code.google.com/p/hop/ ). To

    quote the s4 team

            "S4 is a general-purpose, distributed,

        scalable, partially fault-tolerant, pluggable

        platform that allows programmers to easily develop

        applications for processing continuous unbounded

        streams of data."
