Hi all, Disclosure: I have been an active member of the Hadoop / HBase / Hive mailing lists for some time. I am not a recruiter, but looking to increase a development team that I lead. I sincerely apologize if this message is against mailing list etiquette; I have not seen any guidelines forbidding this.
We are looking to expand the development team based in Copenhagen, Denmark. We run and operate an indexing system that provides access to biodiversity information, and specifically 100s millions of point based observations of species occurrence documented in the past century. Our live system is outgrowing a MySQL database, and we are already tentatively using Hive, Hadoop and have run some tests using HBase. Over the next 16 months we will rework the whole system, including custom reporting, custom maps and other visualizations, real time search indexes, reducing latency, quality control integration, custom vocabulary work etc. Our final architecture will likely include Hive, Hadoop, HBase, Lucene (SOLR / ElasticSearch?), Sqoop and PostGIS. If you are familiar with these technologies, and the thought of some time working in Europe appeals to you, then we'd love to hear from you. Guidelines for applications are on the advert: http://tinyurl.com/gbif-dev-job Thanks, Tim
