Save the date for the Tuesday, June 16th meetup at MapR's new offices! We'll have speakers from MapR and Elastic, and food and drink will be provided. Talks: "ES-Hadoop: Bridging the world of Hadoop and Elasticsearch" In this talk, we will provide an overview of Elasticsearch for Apache Hadoop (ES-Hadoop), which includes integrations between the various Hadoop libraries, whether batch (Map/Reduce, Pig, Hive) or stream oriented (such as Apache Spark). We will also cover the YARN support and the HDFS snapshot/restore plugin available as part of ES-Hadoop. We will talk about the upcoming ES-Hadoop 2.1 GA release and near-term roadmap. Bala Venkatrao is part of the Product Management at Elastic, where he he leads the product activities for Elastic commercial products and the integration efforts with Hadoop/NoSQL technologies. "MapR-DB Elasticsearch Integration" In this talk, we’ll give a brief introduction to MapR-DB, and then dive into its async table replication feature. We’ll cover how we used that as the foundation for a near real-time indexing of MapR-DB data into Elasticsearch. We will also discuss options for customizing the “fit” between MapR-DB and Elasticsearch, as well as ideas for extending this feature beyond Elasticsearch in the future. Brian Parkision. Part of MapR-DB engineering team and was responsible for shipping the MapR-DB elastic integration. Slides are collected here: http://events.mapr.com/Elastic
