In this session, two case studies will be presented on leveraging Big Data and an open source Big Data processing platform to detect relationships at levels not previously detected. This session will give a behind-the-scenes look at how to program rapid data delivery queries with Big Data to solve real world problems along with anecdotal examples from the field.
Why do you decide to use Open Source Software? How do you choose one Open Source project over another? Join us for a discussion of the critical factors to consider to "mitigate risk" when choosing to use a project, including techniques for living with that choice. We'll talk about several different projects that we have integrated to various ends: success, forking, adoption, and abandonment.
