The meeting room is sign-posted from the main EC Stoner Building entrance 
(level 7, the side facing the Parkinson Tower).

Talk: Hadoop and Friends

Robert Burrell Donkin is going to give a talk on ‘Hadoop And Friends’:

    Leaving clustering behind: scaling grids to utility computing and why this 
matters. A lightning tour of the emerging open source utility computing 
nexus: Hadoop, Lucene, Nutch, Solr, SmartFrog, Mahoot, Pig, Hama, Zookeeper. 
More than Java: a two minute introduction to MapReduce. Catch the wave: why 
now’s the right time to get involved and how to do it.
