“How do you got in Big Data?”, is a question that people asked me a couple of times now. So let me give that answer in a blogpost as well.
I’ve used eight sources of Big Data related knowledge and skills:
Day two started with more keynotes. Ross Porter of Dell EMC talked about the ingredients of a successful analytics project. Carlo Vaiti of HP Enterprise had an interesting talk about trends in big data, but I would advise him to let a professional presentation bureau go over his slides. They were perfect for a breakout session, but not so much for a keynote. Too small fonts. (more…)
Just left the beergarten party at Dataworks Summit 2017 in München. Okay, let’s see how well I blog after three of these large beers. Luckily I took notes before. Tell me when I start to become incoherent.
So actually for me the summit started yesterday at the Partner day, but today the breakout sessions started. I’ve attended a cool hands-on session on Apache Ranger and Atlas yesterday. These are the new security and governance tools for Hadoop. And I think we can say that the days that you could say Hadoop is largely insecure are about to be over.
The first session today I attended was the keynote of course. I was a little bit late, but it turned out that the second row seats were largely available, so I had a good view of the speakers. A couple of them tried to convince us that (big) data was going to change everything. I already knew that. (more…)
