Hadoop talk proposal...

[jmctee]

Just letting you know I have a Hadoop talk I am giving at BJUG on 9/10. Would love to present at DOSUG in the future if you have an open slot. The talk is very info-dense, so will need the longer slot to adequately present.

Here is the abstract:

By now, if you have any interest in Hadoop, you have seen the 'Hello World' of Map-Reduce, the word count app. In this info-dense talk, Joe will go beyond this simple example and show how other tools in the Hadoop infrastructure work by developing a more interesting (but still contrived!) application that monitors solar power generation and compares it to temperature and cloud cover. Time allowing, we will cover accessing HDFS from the command line and programmatically via Java, Sqoop to import data from an RDBMS, Pig (a data flow DSL), Map-Reduce, Hive (SQL-like data query DSL), and orchestrate all the pieces with the Oozie workflow tool.

Look forward to hearing from you.

@jmctee You still into doing this? We're still into having you!

Hey Tim,

Definitely interested, but the first part of this year is insane at work and I need some time to clean things up. Is targeting the April Meeting too late? I could push it to the March meeting if needed, but probably not any earlier.

Let me know if this works.

Had a lot of fun Friday!

Take care,

Joe

@jmctee I would love to get you booked for April. Want to call it that? Send us an abstract if yer into it. :)

April on the calendar. Here you go...

Introduction to the Hadoop toolset - Joe McTee

By now, if you have any interest in Hadoop, you have seen the 'Hello World' of Map-Reduce, the word count app. In this info-dense talk, Joe will go beyond this simple example and show how other tools in the Hadoop infrastructure work by developing a more interesting (but still contrived!) application that monitors solar power generation and compares it to temperature and cloud cover.

Time allowing, we will cover accessing HDFS from the command line and programmatically via Java, Sqoop to import data from an RDBMS, Pig (a data flow DSL), Map-Reduce, Hive (SQL-like data query DSL), and orchestrate all the pieces with the Oozie workflow tool.

@DOSUG/boardmembers Any objection to getting Joe on the schedule for April? If not, let's do this.

The slides look good. I'm assuming the examples will be live demos. I'm always concerned about tech talks that don't show practical application, but it looks like it is covered here.

@mbarker62 Awesome. :)

@danhillenbrand If you want to push this live, feel free!

[danhillenbrand]

@tlberglund ok, getting caught up now!

[jmctee]

Hi DOSUG Committee,

I apologize, but just found out I am not going to be in town on 4/1 for the meeting I am scheduled to talk at.

I see that you do not currently have a speaker for the 3/4 meeting. Any chance we can move the talk to this slot (or May, I'll make either one work)?

Very embarrassed that I failed to see the conflict earlier. Hope this does not cause too much churn.

Take care,

Joe

[tlberglund]

@jmctee No problem at all on the rescheduling! I had somebody reach out a week ago asking for the March slot, so give us a few days before we commit to March or May, if you can. Really, we just want you in there whenever you can make it. :grinning:

[jmctee]

Sounds good. I will be prepared for March in case, but May works as well.

[tlberglund]

@jmctee Let's go for May. I reached out to our March prospect (Perficient), who wants to keep it in March. (They will submit an abstract very soon.)

[jmctee]

May (Tuesday, 5/6) it is. Thanks for being flexible, still sorry for the mixup.

[tlberglund]

@jmctee Our March speaker has pulled out. Sorry for the disorderliness here, but are you still open for March? No pressure on you, good sir; if you can't do it, I'll recruit somebody else. Naturally I would ask you first, though. :)

[jmctee]

@tlberglund I'll make it happen. Put me down for March. Confirming, this would be March 4th, correct? Also, how is the network at IP?

[tlberglund]

@jmctee You're the man. Yes, March 4, and the network is not all that bad! I will try to have a backup network for you if the regular one is congested for any reason.

@danhillenbrand Want to make this official? :)

[danhillenbrand]

@tlberglund @jmctee Looks like this already made it's way to March on the site, so I will leave it as is!

[tlberglund]

@danhillenbrand Uh, yeah, not sure how that happened. (sulks away guiltily...)

[jmctee]

Ha! See you guys in a couple of weeks.

[tlberglund]

@jmctee :grinning:

[tlberglund]

Talk was excellent. Closing down this issue with many thanks to @jmctee. :)
