NoSQL with HBase and Hadoop

Abstract

Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft BING and Google share a common secret: their data doesn't reside in relational databases anymore. Due to extreme requirements of scalability and availability, those big-time data-farmers - but many others as well - started researching new ways to handle data on an internet scale, resulting in a Cambrian explosion of new non-relational datastores, commonly referred to as "NoSQL", with products such as Apache HBase and Cassandra, MongoDB and CouchDB, Redis and many others.

In this talk, Steven will cull from his company's experience in redesigning their open source CMS Daisy on top of NoSQL technologies, and will focus on both concepts and constraints of infinitely scalable datastores, both benefits and pitfalls, with some bias on Apache HBase and the Hadoop family of distributed processing tools.

Speaker

Steven Noels is co-founder and CEO of Outerthought. Outerthought has been on the forefront of open source Java development for almost 8 years now, resulting in a successful content management product Daisy and an accompanying service delivery organization, as well as our own REST-centric web application framework Kauri. Daisy is in use at large and small organizations around the globe. Outerthought is all about internet software engineering, REST, Java and open source.
