Hadoop fans, Last week we held another successful San Francisco Hadoop "unconference" meetup at RichRelevance's office.
Discussion topics included: * Working with multiple Hadoop clusters * HBase * Hive SerDes and evolving data formats * Zookeeper and Leader Election * Timeseries databases / statistics * Hadoop internals * Hadoop Pipes * Hive performance with Joins * Pig + Java * Avro We will hold next month's meetup on Wednesday July 13, from 6--8pm. This meetup will be hosted once again by our friends at CBSi. Their office is at 235 Second Street. As usual, we will use the discussion-based "unconference" format. At the beginning of the meetup we will collaboratively construct an agenda consisting of several discussion breakout groups. All participants may propose a topic and volunteer to facilitate a discussion. All Hadoop-related topics are encouraged, and all members of the Hadoop community are welcome. It's never too early to start brainstorming topics if you'd like to lead a session -- send me an email off-list if you want to discuss an idea. Event schedule: * 6pm - Welcome * 6:30pm - Introductions; start creating agenda * Breakout sessions begin as soon as we're ready * 8pm - Conclusion Food and refreshments will be provided, courtesy of CBSi. I hope to see you there! Please RSVP at http://bit.ly/kLpLQR so we can get an accurate count for food and beverages. Cheers, - Aaron Kimball
