NoSQL grows up: Standards and Conventions

How much of your Big Data processing workflow have you created from scratch? If you're like most of us, quite a lot of it is. But how much of the thought you've put into designing your workflow could also apply to other Big Data projects?

Naturally, different Big Data projects follow the same operational procedures, business methodologies, and security practices. They also require individual governance models. Still, the Big Data community can clearly benefit from shared standards and conventions.

In this session, Ciaran Dynes will discuss the need for standards and conventions for using Hadoop, and will provide solutions to ensure compatibility with existing processes and systems.

As VP Products for Talend, Ciaran Dynes oversees the design of cutting edge open source integration technologies. He has over 12 years of experience in leading and developing teams of highly technical people and the development/implementation of product strategies impacting organizations on all levels.
