Howdy,
Minutes from today's meeting follow below.
Had a really interesting conversation - though I think we didn't quite
get through much of the agenda :) We did discuss some categories,
things already packaged, etc. - I'm on duty to make a sub-wiki-page so
we can collectively document some of these things.
Also had some talk around packaging Apache Bigtop as well as the
intersections with that community - as many of their folks apparently
use Fedora (YAY).
Anyway: Keep your intros, thoughts coming - I suspect we'll be
gathering more humans in the coming weeks.
Thanks for coming!
-Robyn

(rbergeron, 17:04:32)
* Agenda looks like: What this is all about, what do we have, what
don't we have, what is anyone here interested in doing :)
(rbergeron, 17:05:09)
* What's the Big Data SIG all about? (rbergeron, 17:05:57)
* loosely quoting from o'reilly: "If the size of your data is part of
the problem, it's Big Data." (rbergeron, 17:07:57)
* IDEA: one part of it is getting a decent setup; other part is
understanding tools and approaches needed (rbergeron, 17:11:42)
* IDEA: two pieces you hear most about in Big Data seem to be massive
storage, & parallel computing (hadoop, column databases, etc)
(rbergeron, 17:12:16)
* IDEA: another component is online processing or online analysis -
predicting what is trending before its had time to hit disk
(rbergeron, 17:13:29)
* IDEA: for ex. - idea that google can predict flu outbreaks faster
than public health agencies by watcihng search terms; financial
tools as well apply to concept (rbergeron, 17:15:49)
* IDEA: another ex. of stream processing is twitter analytics -
looking for emerging topics in twitter streams (rbergeron,
17:16:52)
* What are the buckets or categories, and what do we have? (rbergeron,
17:18:21)
* IDEA: orchestration, batch processing, stream processing are
categories that come to mind - orch (zookeeper), batch (hadoop,
disco), stream (storm) (rbergeron, 17:21:23)
* IDEA: storage is another category (rbergeron, 17:22:25)
* IDEA: full hadoop stack seems to be thought of as useful foundation
layer for some types of work, but HDFS is getting attention as weak
spot, with nosql dbs and gluster being used as alternatives
(rbergeron, 17:23:00)
* hdfs is part of the hadoop project; one can install hdfs without
using the mapreduce part (rbergeron, 17:28:05)
* lots of java libraries, servers like tomcat (used by solr, oozie)
are already in (rbergeron, 17:44:01)
* IDEA: we have pandas (not the animal,
http://pandas.pydata.org) -
useful for data analysis, not really big data (rbergeron, 17:49:40)
* ACTION: rbergeron to add a sub-page of packges we have (unless
someone beats me to it) (rbergeron, 17:50:18)
* IDEA: interest in disco - seems to be more python-friendly than
hadoop (though we are aware that there are python wrappers for
hadoop) (rbergeron, 18:08:03)
* spring is packaged - could package spring-hadoop (rbergeron,
18:11:24)
* ACTION: bmahe to expound on openjdk/bug filing, as well as the wide
world of bigtop packaging, as time permits :) (rbergeron, 18:12:51)
* Operation Agenda: Yeah... (rbergeron, 18:15:50)
* ACTION: rbergeron to prod in meeting notes to get people to talk re:
what would we like to do (we==they) (rbergeron, 18:23:54)
Meeting ended at 18:26:13 UTC.
