abstract

Business intelligence is vital to many companies. It is common to run batch jobs to crunch some reports in order to gain insight into your current business. Traditional data warehouse and ETL techniques force you to "pick and choose" what you want to store then discard the rest that don't fit into the schema. What if you can easily preserve all your data points then figure out how to crunch them in the future? In this presentation I will go over the basics of Elastic MapReduce and Hive. EMR allows for crunching data on demand and at a low cost. Hive allows you analyze your data using a SQL-like interface.

+1 for 1 and/or 7, though you should make it a little more PC. "guys/gals"

8. "McFeng the Data Dog: Take a Bite out of Data!"

Some people don't know what big data or sql even is. "better answers" says, "Oh i can be smarter from mining this stuff? Yes, I want that".
