Reminder: Monday, April 16 Triangle Java Users Group meeting

 Triangle Java Users Group presents:

   Streaming MapReduce with GridGain

 Presented by:

   Nikita Ivanov

 Monday April 16, 2012
 6:30 PM - 9:00 PM
 Red Hat/Raleigh
 1801 Varsity Drive, Raleigh, NC
 TriJUG (http://trijug.org) meetings are hosted by JBoss

 Presentation summary:

   The topic of this presentation is about demonstrating how GridGain
   software allows to build a real time big data processing application
   in a record time and how GridGain’s approach is different to the one
   employed by Hadoop MapReduce framework that is based on offline
   batch--oriented processing.

   Most of the presentation will be concentrated on the live 'from
   scratch' coding of the application that takes an ubiquities Hadoop
   example of calculating word frequencies in the large body of text
   and implementing it using GridGain to work in 100% real time
   context instead.

   The live coding part of the presentation will be done using Scala
   programming language that is natively supported by GridGain.

   The initial 15 minutes of the presentation will be devoted to
   explaining the big data concepts and high level explanation
   about GridGain and Hadoop MapReduce approaches to solving it.

   Overall -- the presentation is extremely hands--on and require
   significant level of understanding of Java or Scala and basic
   level of understanding for distributed programming concepts
   such as In--Memory Data Grid and Compute Grids.
