Keynote Presentation - “Hadoop in 2015: Implications for Data Professionals”
Abstract:
Hadoop, Big Data and their hype have been with us for several years now, but where has that really taken us? Data warehouses are still here; conventional BI is still here; and so are relational databases, not to mention enterprise requirements around security, manageability and SQL skill-set alignment.
The good news is that Hadoop is maturing in response to enterprise requirements. Sensible integration and even convergence between Hadoop and longer-established database architectures is coming about. Hadoop and its ecosystem are bringing genuine breakthroughs in analytics functionality and advantageously disruptive economics to boot. Hadoop is a net positive, and a big one at that.
Key questions addressed at this event will include:
1. What is Hadoop? How does it work? How does it fit into the broader ecosystem of big data technologies and tools?
2. For which use cases does a Hadoop implementation make sense? Where does it not make sense?
3. Who are the top suppliers in the Hadoop / Big Data space? How are they different?
4. How have Hadoop + related technologies matured/improved in recent years? What are the implications of these changes?
5. Are use cases changing along with the technology? How do changes in the technology affect users of big data solutions?
6. What about solution developers? How does the maturation of Hadoop technologies affect their role and their opportunities?
7. Data Governance for Hadoop: how has it been addressed? How should it be addressed? What new approaches to data governance are needed to manage the velocity, volume, semi-structured nature of big data?
8. How are Hadoop and data warehouse platforms integrating? Ditto for semi-structured data technologies and conventional relational databases? Is there a symbiosis between them? |
