Presentation at Hadoop Summit 2012
June 11, 2012
I’ll be speaking at the Hadoop Summit conference on Thursday (2:25pm), about how to replace Oracle (or MySQL, etc) with Hadoop + Solr. The title is “Faster, cheaper, better – switching a web site from DB queries to Hadoop & Solr“. It’s a distillation of experience with clients, where we use Hadoop to do off-line pre-processing of data, which then lets us use Solr as a NoSQL solution that provides faster query processing on less hardware, while adding additional search & faceting functionality.
