Hello all, As part of The Fifth Elephant 2013 <http://fifthelephant.in> conference, we are organizing a hacknight on Hadoop and MapReduce applications on June 8 and 9 at the Centre for Internet and Society (CIS)<http://goo.gl/maps/qt2fO>, Bangalore.
The hacknight will begin with a tutorial by renowned hadoop practitioner, Gopal Vijayaraghavan, who will help participants to get a single node cluster up and running on their laptops with the help of a few convenience scripts, pre-packaged config files and some hand-holding. You will learn how to set up a very simple, non-secure hadoop cluster which will let you dig deeper into the architecture and understand how and when to modify hadoop to suit your needs. Please bring datasets and problems which they you can work with using hadoop. You are encouraged to work with a range of stacks: R, Pig, Hive, Python and Java. Learn how and when R on Hadoop to fits your problem or how to use Pig to get a quick ETL phase and cut down your logs to size. Check your A/B tests and funnels with Hive. This hacknight is open to individuals who want to work with hadoop, on hadoop and everything in the neighbourhood. Come prepared with a laptop, a github account, java skills and enough sleep to tide you over the night. *Dates:* 8th and 9th June *Venue:* Centre for Internet and Society <http://goo.gl/maps/qt2fO>, Domlur *Time:* 3:30 PM to 8:00 AM For details and registrations, log on to http://hacknight.in/fifthelephant/2013-hadoop or call Haris Ibrahim on 080-67684422 -- For more details about this list http://datameet.org/discussions/ --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "datameet" group.
