This is a meetup group for users and contributors to Apache Sqoop (incubating). Sqoop is a system designed for efficiently transferring bulk data between Apache Hadoop and structured datastores such as relational databases. You can use Sqoop to import data from external structured datastores into Hadoop Distributed File System or related systems like Hive and HBase. Conversely, Sqoop can be used to extract data from Hadoop and export it to external structured datastores such as relational datab …

Collaborate with peers working to solve truly complex, technical issues while betting their business on an infrastructure with 100% uptime. Find Us: http://www.aerospike.com Follow Us: http …

I am planning to form this group to have hands on all Distributed Databases technologies and build our own hadoop cluster and use various hadoop flavors including Hadoop,HDFS,Hive,Pig,HQL. Also have hands on all Nosql Technologies like Cassandra,MongoDB etc. We would also like to go over R programming tool as part of Haddop Analysis. We would like to compare Hadoop vs any Relational DB and MPP Dbs to find some of the use cases where it could really helpful . Also we would like to solve some Indu …

We discuss all things Big Data including tools, use cases and especially opportunities around this emerging area of large scale data

Exploring flash acceleration for in-memory, NoSQL, and relational data stores. Join us for discussions, presentations, brainstorming and more.

This group provides a forum in Silicon Valley for discussion for NoSQL technology and solutions to common problems.

This group meets monthly to discuss different ways to use Cassandra to scale your website

We have Hadoop meetups that brings awareness about Hadoop Ecosystem to an extent or that discusses about the future enhancements in Hadoop and products and things that can be done. But there is no proper meetup that can provide perspective of a real Hadoop Developer to the current market that can address any level of knowledge seeker. Also there is no meetup group where one actually working on Hadoop Ecosystem can discuss common issues they face and ask for help. This meetup group overcomes thes …

Meet other local users of one of the world's leading open source database products. Learn about MySQL and share your experience. Everyone, of all knowledge levels is welcome!

What is this Meetup group about? This Meetup group features an ongoing series of classes on core Ruby on Rails web and mobile technologies that can enable you to build and deploy a sophisticated web or mobile application. Our goal is to have a Meetup class on a new topic about every two weeks. Who is it for? If you are looking to become a competent intermediate-level (maybe advanced!) full-stack Ruby on Rails web and mobile developer, then this Meetup is for you! Some prior computer programming …

This group is for everyone interested in real-time access to big data. We welcome developers, data scientists, analysts - everyone trying to figure out how to get access - and analysis - quickly; data in HDFS, S3, NoSQL databases, etc. Why did I form this group? There are a number of interesting Open Source and proprietary solutions trying to provide real-time access to Big Data and a high density of folks here in the Bay Area working on solutions. Industry analysts are saying "this is the year …

This group is a place for developers to learn more about MongoDB, an open source, document-oriented, nosql database. If you are facing challenges with MySQL or Postgres or Oracle and want to explore a more flexible, scalable alternative, please join us at one of our monthly sessions. We typically meet on the second or third Tuesday of the month, have some pizza and network, and enjoy a presentation on Mongo.

Hive is a scalable data warehouse infrastructure built on top of Hadoop. It provides tools to enable easy data ETL, a mechanism to put structures on the data, and the capability to querying and analysis of large data sets stored in Hadoop files. Hive defines a simple SQL-like query language, called HiveQL, that enables users familiar with SQL to query the data. At the same time, this language also allows programmers who are familiar with the MapReduce fromwork to be able to plug in their custom …

We love to talk about what Amazon Web Services is doing in the Bay Area & to connect on ideas, technology & passion for the cloud space. Anyone interested in some of the crazy-interesting goings on should swing by!

BABW is one year old this month! It’s a funny time for an anniversary since we are still a couple of months away from backpacking season, but I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have become members, come along on trips, and become organizers. When I started the meetup a year ago, I thought that maybe a dozen or so women would sign on, but we had more than 100 members within 4 days! In our first year, we’ve grown to over 300 members and we’ve gone out on more than 15 backpac …
