Learn how to leverage easy to use tools to combine this together for our personal and organization decision making without requiring complex processes or training. Read more.

Adding security to an existing product is never easy, but our team at Yahoo added strong authentication to Apache Hadoop by integrating it with Kerberos. This project was delivered on time and is currently deployed on all of Yahoo's 40,000 Hadoop computers. Come learn how we added security to and why it matters. Read more.

In this workshop, one of the core MongoDB committers will present the fundamental principles of MongoDB, how to set up and interact with the database, and what to consider when building applications using a document-based data model. Read more.

What happens when you write data to disk? We'll explore everything between your programming language and the spinning platters - both optimizations and dangerous pitfalls. Read more.

Redis is an entry in the new breed of nosql databases. But it takes a different approach that makes it much more interesting then most of the other key/value stores in the same category. Come learn what makes redis so useful that it seems everyone is adding it to their toolbox. Read more.

This talk introduces an open-source SQL-based system for continuous or ad-hoc analysis of streaming data built on top of Flume-based data collection for Hadoop. Attendees will understand how to use a new tool to extend their Hadoop data collection pipeline with real-time streaming analytics. Read more.

We produce gorgeous LaTeX reports while harnessing the power of R on the backend. The data is pulled from our PostgreSQL database, the analysis and visualizations are fast and distributed thanks to Redis. We'll talk about weaving together open source tools to build powerful analytics reporting engines that rival the commercial alternatives. Read more.

Join other Android developers for happy hour at Gather in the Double Tree Hotel on Monday evening. Meet face-to-face and share experiences with other developers working on Android. The first 100 people there get a free drink ticket. Read more.

If you had five minutes on stage what would you say? What if you only got 20 slides and they rotated automatically after 15 seconds? Would you pitch a project? Launch a web site? Teach a hack? We’re going to find out when we conduct our third Ignite event at OSCON. Read more.

Birds of a Feather (BoF) sessions provide face to face exposure to those interested in the same projects and concepts. BoFs can be organized for individual projects or broader topics (best practices, open data, standards). BoFs are entirely up to you. We post your topic online and onsite and provide the space and time. You provide the engaging topic. Read more.

Opening remarks by the OSCON Data program chairs, Sarah Novotny and Bradford Stephens. Read more.

Much has been made of scalability as a driver for choosing a database, but the choice of a database influences much more than the scaling architecture. Different database choices drive different data models which in turn influence the development process. Read more.

Keynote by Adrian Cockcroft, Cloud Architect, Netflix. Read more.

We love data, and today we generate data in astronomical amounts. When we hit save on a document, snap a photo, or fill out a form online, we want to know that this data will persist, and we want to know that we can share, access, or reference it in the future. For any meaningful use, we need to how data relates to other data. Read more.

The first OSCON Data Innovation Award winner will be announced. Read more.

The last few years have brought a wealth of new data technologies organized around horizontal scalability. This talk will cover the essential infrastructure areas: real-time stream processing, offline data crunching, large-scale data deployments and live serving. The focus will be on how these ingredients come together to enable innovative data-driven products at LinkedIn. Read more.

In this talk, we will introduce a simple formula for all Big Data applications: Big Data = Fast Data + Deep Data. Through a use-case format, we will discuss the specialized requirements for real-time (“fast”) and analytic (“deep”) data management. Read more.

Whether you're a beginner Web guy or a veteran DBA, whether you get hands dirty with any code or just manage systems, you still must know algorithms. How come? Because that knowledge enables you to optimize your work, conduct correct benchmarks, and make educated decisions. We'll show you how knowing only a little about SQL internals can help so much with tuning things. Read more.

One of the challenges that comes with moving to MongoDB is figuring how to best model your data. While most developers have internalized the rules of thumb for designing schemas for RDBMSs, these rules don't always apply to MongoDB. Read more.

This talk will cover lessons learned in building Urban Airship's large-scale data warehouse in EC2 including PostgreSQL, Kafka, Cassandra, HBase and Hadoop. Read more.

This language-agnostic proposal focuses upon concepts and strategies critical to the design and implementation of asynchronous systems and data processing layers. Key components include a survey of implementation strategies for non-blocking edge tiers, patterns for building out a distributed worker / processing tier, along with several horror stories of cascading failures and their resolution. Read more.

A talk about how to scale foursquare using MongoDB and Scala. Read more.

Keynotes today will be shared by OSCON, OSCON Data, and OSCON Java. Read more.

In this new keynote, Jono Bacon, author of The Art of Community (O'Reilly), founder of the Community Leadership Summit and award-winning Community Manager for the global Ubuntu community, talks about the new opportunities and challenges we face in understanding the art and science of community leadership.

The popularity of NoSQL opens up an endless array of possible uses but also causes its own set of problems. Riak, a NoSQL offering created by Basho solves this by claiming to have no single point of failure. Proving this goes a long way to dispelling the concerns within an enterprise to begin adopting a non-relational solution. Read more.

CouchDB is a document-oriented database that uses JSON documents, has a RESTful HTTP API, and employs map/reduce views for querying data. This tutorial will teach web developers the concepts they need to get started using CouchDB in their projects. Libraries are available for CouchDB’s RESTful HTTP API in many programming languages and we will take a look at some of the more popular ones. Read more.

Algorithms are getting raunchier, tools more potent and competitions more intimate! Let us mix analytics tools (like R & Mahout) and a dash of algorithmics to work on BigData Analytics competitions and see if the answer is always 42. In the process we will explore and apply a few good algorithms, to the Heritage Health competition … Read more.

The open source database landscape has never been in more turmoil, and yet the popularity of Postgres continues to grow and grow. Get up to speed on what you need to know to administer the world's most advanced open source database, including installation, configuration, tuning, and how best to use PostgreSQL's community resources; with special focus on Postgres 9 and the upcoming 9.1 release. Read more.

This hands-on tutorial aims at learning the basics of the important machine learning algorithms in Mahout. It aims to help you get it up and running on a Hadoop cluster. Mahout is open source implementation of a collection of algorithms designed from ground up to sift through terabytes of data and help bring out important patterns which are otherwise not in the reach of standard tools.
