Big Data Analytics Beyond Hadoop

Big Data Analytics Beyond Hadoop is the first guide specifically designed to introduce these technologies and demonstrate their use in detail. An indispensable resource for data scientists and others who must scale traditional analytics tools and applications to Big Data, it illuminates these new alternatives at every level, from architecture all the way down to code. Dr. Vijay Srinivas Agneeswaran shows how to evaluate and choose the right tools and then reengineer your solutions and products to work far more effectively in Big Data environments. Agneeswaran explains the Berkeley Data Analysis Stack (BDAS) in detail, including its motivation, design, architecture, Mesos cluster management and the analysis of both performance and accuracy. He presents realistic use cases and up-to-date example code for:. Spark, the next generation in-memory computing technology from UC Berkeley. Storm, the parallel real-time Big Data analytics technology from Twitter. GraphLab, the next-generation graph processing paradigm from CMU and the University of Washington (with comparisons to alternatives such as Pregel and Piccolo) Agneeswaran offers architectural and design guidance and code sketches for scaling machine learning algorithms to Big Data and then realizing them in real-time. He concludes by previewing emerging trends, including real-time video analytics, SDNs and even Big Data governance, security and privacy issues. To position you for tomorrow's advances, he identifies intriguing startups and new research possibilities, including BDAS extensions and cutting-edge model-driven analytics.
