WWW2009 EPrints

Web data processing with MapReduce and Hadoop

This item is a Paper in the Developers track.

Full text not available from this repository.

Abstract

With massive growth in website traffic, extracting valuable information from clickstreams is a challenge as existing tools struggle to scale with web scale data. Apache Hadoop is a system for storing and processing massive amounts of data in parallel on clusters of commodity machines. With Hadoop and MapReduce it becomes feasible to make ad hoc queries over the massive datasets, opening up new possibilities for unearthing insights in web scale data. This talk will consist of two parts. The first part will be a brief introduction to MapReduce and Hive, Hadoop's processing and data warehousing components, and will explain how these technologies are designed to handle big data. The second part will be a demo, showing how Hadoop can be used in practice to mine web logs. Notes: Jeff Hammerbacher is giving a keynote, and was asked to have Cloudera also submit a more technical talk for this developer track. Tom White will be joining Jeff in Madrid. Christophe Bisciglia manages our conference schedule, and does not need to be cited for this submission. Only Tom will be speaking for this talk.

About this site

This website has been set up for WWW2009 by Christopher Gutteridge of the University of Southampton, using our EPrints software.

Preservation

We (Southampton EPrints Project) intend to preserve the files and HTML pages of this site for many years, however we will turn it into flat files for long term preservation. This means that at some point in the months after the conference the search, metadata-export, JSON interface, OAI etc. will be disabled as we "fossilize" the site. Please plan accordingly. Feel free to ask nicely for us to keep the dynamic site online longer if there's a rally good (or cool) use for it... [this has now happened, this site is now static]
