Eclipse Hawaii User's Group Meeting (eclipsehawaii.org)

We will have the Eclipse Hawaii User's Group (eclipsehawaii.org) meeting on Tuesday (05/26) at 5:30 pm at IBM on Ala Moana Blvd. DataSkill will provide refreshments.

Topic: Hadoop, Elastic MapReduce & Eclipse
Riding on the excitement from April's presentation on Eclipse and Amazon EC2, we'll be taking a look at a powerful way to take advantage of all that processing potential. Ever wondered how Google crawls and processes the entire web? With incredible amounts of data (on the order of exobytes) being generated across the world, how can one process, analyze, and derive value from it all? At the May meeting of the Eclipse Users' Group, we'll take a look at Hadoop, the open source Map Reduce and distributed file system framework. Map Reduce is a distributed data processing paradigm, originally popularized by Google, designed to utilize clusters of commodity machines to crunch very large data sets. Hadoop is an open source implementation of MapReduce, along with supporting systems and Frameworks, that you can use right now on your own machines or on Amazon EC2. We'll also look at Eclipse based tools that can help you write Map Reduce programs. In addition, we'll take a look at Pig, the high level language for writing Hadoop Map Reduce jobs.

Our speaker is Seth Ladd of Camber Corp.

You'll also have a chance to meet with other Eclipse Users and to share what you've been doing with Eclipse and other cool tools. If you have any questions or want more information, please visit our site at:

never heard of hadoop prior to this. Think I might just attend.

Thanks for the head's up, John. We'll definitely mention that training during the presentation. :)

We'd really like to attend, but we'll be in NY. This is our favorite location. We hope to see more in the IBM building :-)

Not to take anything away from this, I just got an email from Amazon and they will be having a Virtual Training also. Just thought it may be helpful to some as it deals with similar topics.

Getting Started with Amazon Elastic MapReduce
Attend this May 28th webinar for an in-depth presentation on Amazon Elastic MapReduce -- the new hosted Hadoop framework running on Amazon EC2 Amazon S3. This latest web service from AWS makes it possible for businesses to provision as much or as little capacity as needed to perform data-intensive tasks for distributed applications.

And here's a tutorial that was also included in the email.
