Apache: Big Data 2015

The wave of Big Data has overwhelming potential, but has also revealed an overwhelming challenge in the need to combine multiple sources. The representation of data is growing immensely just like the amount of data is – you might very well be ingesting as many sources as this: Relational, NoSQL, Hadoop, XML/JSON/CSV files, Cloud/SaaS systems and search indexes. In this presentation, Kasper Sørensen will introduce Apache MetaModel. With this project metadata has been put first and querying is based on this concept too. Apache MetaModel allows for a uniformed view of data from many sources, but just as important it also enables Data Federation and Data Integration patterns that are automatically adapting based on the metadata available in the source. The talk will be practically oriented, showing running code with MetaModel and examples of production usage in multiple business cases.
