If you have questions about Hadoop and map reduce this is a great place to ask them. Sean Jensen-Grey se...@seattlehadoop.org Chris Wilkes cwil...@seattlehadoop.org Sean & Chris Seattle Hadoop Distributing Computing User Meeting ================================================== Bringing Hadoopists Together On the 3rd Thursday of the Month We focus predominately on distributed data processing using a map reduce style. The meetings are open to all and free of charge. When: Thursday April 21st, 7:00 pm room, 7:15 start - 8:45 Where: University Heights Community Center, Room 110 Outline for April 21st: Serialization Super Special! We will cover Avro the up and coming cross platform data serialization and RPC mechanism targeted at Hadoop. The use of Avro both simplifies and accelerates the Hadoop workflow by making the inputs and the outputs to your mappers and reducers more tractable. By coaelescing many small files into Avro records the job processing time becomes shorter. The current outline: Avro Schema definition and the design of quality long term data structures. Examples of reading and writing Avro files in Java, Python and C Writing Mapreduce jobs that operate over Avro files using the AvroMapper and AvroReducer.
