Whether you’re a novice just getting started with Hadoop or an expert looking to advance your skills, Hadoop World is the place to gain a thorough understanding of how Hadoop can solve big business challenges, help you gain a competitive edge, accelerate discovery and more. Learn the basics or gain proficiency in newly released projects.
Apache Hadoop is a software platform that lets one easily write and run applications that process vast amounts of data.The Hadoop framework transparently provides applications both reliability and data motion. Hadoop implements a computational paradigm named Map/Reduce, where the application is divided into many small fragments of work, each of which may be executed or reexecuted on any node in the cluster. In addition, it provides a distributed file system (HDFS) that stores data on the compute nodes, providing very high aggregate bandwidth across the cluster. Both Map/Reduce and the distributed file system are designed so that node failures are automatically handled by the framework.
Hadoop World 2012 will be held alongside the 2012 O’Reilly Strata Conference, both of which are happening October 23-25 at the Hilton New York.
