About The Summit
In the cutting edge market of Big Data, modern businesses
are faced with the challenge of storage, management,
analysis, visualization and security. New technologies,
solutions and challenges are exploding outwards as Big
Data continues to grow exponentially. Hadoop, a huge piece of the puzzle, continues to present
both exciting opportunities and engineering challenges.
Can you become cloud native? What new alternative
paradigms are available with Hadoop? What are the
limitations of sole Hadoop use? How can you use it for
machine learning. What about Integration? Corporate
Accessibility? Ethics? These burning issues are what the
summit looks to address.
The Apache Hadoop Innovation Summit is an industry-led
event. In principle, this means that attendees are working
in engineering, architectural and data science roles. In
practice, this means less sales pitches and more in-depth
discussion on what like-minded professionals are doing
with their Big Data.

Data Platform at Twitter - Enabling Realtime & Batch Analytics at Scale
The data platform at Twitter supports engineers and data
scientists running batch jobs on Hadoop clusters that are
several 1000s of nodes, and real-time jobs on top of
systems such as Storm. In this presentation, I will discuss
the overall data platform stack at Twitter. In particular, I
will talk about Scalding, which is a Scala DSL for batch
jobs using MapReduce, Summingbird, which is a
framework for combined real-time and batch processing,
and Tsar, which is a framework for real-time time-series
aggregations. I will also discuss our experience with Spark,
and where it fits in the overall ecosystem.
Data Platform at Twitter - Enabling Realtime & Batch Analytics at Scale
Netflix is renowned for it’s use of big data to improve
personalization for our members.
Previously, our
personalization depended only on explicit user inputs like
star ratings, taste preference, plays, etc. We recently
incorporated additional implicit user signals such as
interactions on device like scrolling, navigation, and idle
time. This session will focus on the challenges of using
these new high volume data sources with billions of
events/day. What are the challenges of maintaining data
quality across hundreds of device types? How do we
scale efficient nearline systems to serve this data for
algorithmic consumption close to real time?

The Next Enterprise Data Warehouse is a
Hadoop Data Lake
As the data volumes and data generation velocity start
growing, so does the value of all the enterprise data being
generated. At the New York Times, we have moved away
from the traditional Enterprise Data Warehouse based on
dimensional modeling and created a data lake where the
time to market for data solutions and applications is much
faster and much more robust than it ever was before. This presentation will provide an overview of the data lake
approach, how to get there, and why it makes sense for
companies with growing data volumes. The discussion will
focus on cost, architecture, and time to market solutions. Leveraging Hadoop in Polyglot
Architectures
At art.com, we have a heterogeneous web stack (java,
node.js and .net) to support our global brands and
multiple websites. In this session, I will share our
experience in leveraging the power of Hadoop to reach
multiple business goals. The talk will also focus on the tools
that help in addressing concerns related to polyglot
architectures such as interoperability, multi-tenancy,
schema evolution and standardization. I will also talk
about some frameworks and packages that help in
codifying best patterns and practices in integrating
Hadoop with other systems such as traditional Business
Intelligence systems, Web Analytics and other distributed
computing technologies like Apache Spark.
Offloading ELT Workloads to Hadoop Time Warner Cable’s Journey
Shifting ELT workloads from the enterprise data
warehouse (EDW) to Hadoop is gaining traction for
reducing costs, incorporating new data faster, and freeing
up EDW capacity for user-facing analytics and BI
workloads. But, where do you start and what’s the best
approach? This presentation outlines the framework and
processes that Time Warner Cable used to:
· Evaluate potential use cases and architectural options
for Hadoop
· Identify ELT offload as the first focus area
· Choose technology components for the next generation
enterprise data integration solution
· Apply best practices to configure Hadoop environment
for data integration

Releasing the Power of Hadoop
As a data driven company, LinkedIn has very strong
analytical teams, and has many data engineers, data
scientists, business analysts and business users, who focus
on different domains and business of the company. These
users have different kind usage types and needs. Making
them more productive and efficient is the key point to
make the company success. This talk covers the ecosystem
our Data Analytics Infrastructure (DAI) team built, which
release the power of Hadoop and make it easy to use. This
ecosystem contains several open sourced products, such
as: Pinot, Cubert, and Gobblin(, for fast computation and
real time reporting support), and some tools to automatic
reports generations. I will also cover the roles of our data
warehouse team and our mission.
Detecting Abusive Actors in Hadoop
Ecosystem
Live Nation is the global event ticketing leader with
400,000,000 tickets sold and 180,000 events ticketed in
19 countries. However there is always the threat of
growing multibillion dollars secondary market that intends
to prevent users from buying primary tickets. This talk will
explain how to detect such abusive actors in Hadoop
ecosystem using different approaches from offline,
semionline and online learning. We will go over the
process of building our system starting with different
Hadoopbased approaches leading to our final decision to
use Apache Storm for realtime classification built on top
of Hadoop ecosystem.
Making Hadoop Relevant for the Industrial
Internet
Data management and advanced analytics are core to
GE’s recent success in delivering superior software-based
services to customers across aviation, power generation,
oil & gas, healthcare, and transportation. The torrent of
data generated from machines, networks, devices and
data centers in industry verticals provide challenges and
opportunities. The challenge is to make this machine data
meaningful and actionable to deliver on opportunities
around operational efficiencies. I will share real-world
case studies, leveraging Hadoop to demonstrate tangible
operational benefits - ranging from fuel savings to
improving productivity to reducing unscheduled
maintenance to enhancing on-time performance - by
tightly integrating machines, networked sensors,
industrial-strength data, and software to enable
intelligent insights and affect measurable outcomes.
