Hi BigTop ! Just wanted to notify you guys on some exciting news.
RJ's work on BIGTOP-1366 has resulted in a conference paper which we will be publishing the IEEE BigData and Cloud Computing Proceedings, 2014, in Sydney, Australia this year. Wanted to thank the commiters and PMC for keeping bigtop open to cutting edge new ideas, and all the hard work everyone has been doing on the #1 upstream bigdata innovation platform. Without the visibility and feedback provided to us by apache bigtop, this publication would not have been possible. We will start merging in this exciting new synthetic data set generator as soon as we complete a JVM friendly version. RJ is working that angle and is about 2/3 done. Would love if, when that happens, you folks would like to try to use our synthetic data generator for your internal testing. It will be a very powerful, scalable way to test complex bigdata workflows, incorporating geo,temporal,customer data with very rich patterns in it. -- jay vyas
