Hadoop User Group UK:Hadoop in Context

Hadoop in Context
Although introduced initially for research into a large document clustering problem, Hadoop (and it's related sub-projects) now forms a significant part of our infrastructure that has let us more than quadruple our data volumes within a year whilst putting the majority of data into the hands of analysts before 9:00am.

This talk will tell the story of our adoption of Hadoop from our initial in-house virtualised cluster and EC2 experiment to our current dedicated cluster, the migration from our more traditional RDBMS data warehouse to Hive, and how we've developed tools and infrastructure to integrate Hadoop with the rest of our systems and help put the data in the hands of our analysts.
