We invite you to our weekly Skoltech Colloquium.

What: Open-source infrastructure for Big Data 

Guest Speaker: Kostas Tzoumas, Technical University of Berlin

When: December 11, 4pm

Where: Hypercube, 7th floor

Abstract: Major parts of the enterprise data processing infrastructure stack are currently being re-designed and re-implemented in open source.

A big chunk of this software is developed in the Apache community in projects such as Apache Hadoop. In this talk, I will give my personal view of the new requirements that gave birth to this new stack, I will give an overview of some technologies in the Hadoop space and their evolution, and I will focus on Apache Flink (http://flink.incubator.apache.org), a new project in the Apache community that develops a reliable, fast, and easy to use data processing engine.
