Our next and last meeting of the year will be on December 2nd @ the University Heights in the U District where we will talk about Streaming MapReduce, HOP (Hadoop Online Processing), Yahoo's S4 and Dryad.
Event stream processing differs from the bulk parallel operations of MapReduce by operating over streams of events. The most approachable analogy is that of the unix pipe extended to clusters of machines over the network.
There will be no November meeting.
