The Best of Strata Santa Clara 2013: SQL on Hadoop - Oct 2 2013
https://oreillynet.com/pub/e/2733
<p><strong>Join us for an exclusive presentation by <a href="https://strataconf.com/strata2013/public/schedule/speaker/138845">Carl Steinbach</a> recorded live from his Strata Santa Clara 2013 Talk.</strong> </p> <p> The analytics and data warehousing industries are in the midst of a major period of transformation and upheaval. Since the publication nearly a decade ago of Google's seminal MapReduce and GFS papers, we have witnessed the appearance of Apache Hadoop, followed closely by the arrival of batch-oriented SQL systems like Apache Hive, and the scramble by established SQL vendors to implement Hadoop connectors. </p> <p>This talk addresses the recent emergence of a new generation of analytic databases inspired by Google Dremel. These databases have been designed with the goal of running real-time SQL natively on Hadoop in a manner that fully exploits the flexibility and performance of the underlying platform. Characterized by features including schema-on-read, support for semi-structured data, and pluggable storage engines, and defined by systems like Citus Data's CitusDB and Cloudera's Impala, these new systems share important architectural details that distinguish them from the previous generation of analytic databases.</p> <p> In this talk we will discuss the unavoidable cost and performance limitations of the connector-based approach employed by many established vendors and explain the long-term significance of Apache Hive's data model along with its influence on next generation SQL-on-Hadoop databases. We will then unravel the novel architectural features common to next generation analytic database systems like CitusDB and Impala that make real-time SQL-on-Hadoop feasible. Finally, we will conclude by reviewing several important database lessons learned over the previous decades that remain relevant today. </p> <h3 style="margin-bottom: 5px;">About Carl Steinbach</h3> <p>Carl Steinbach is a software engineer at Citus Data, as well as a committer and PMC member on the Apache Hive project. Previously Carl worked at Cloudera where he led the Hive team, at NetApp where he developed storage encryption products, and at Oracle where he was a member of the Server Technologies group. Carl holds B.S. and M.Eng. degrees in Computer Science from MIT.</p> <p style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin-bottom: 5px;"><strong>You may also be interested in:</strong></p> <a href="https://strataconf.com/stratany2013?intcmp=il-strata-stny13-data-webcast"><img alt="Strata Conference + Hadoop World 2013" border="0" height="100" src="https://cdn.oreilly.com/oreilly/promos/stratany_528x100_learn.jpg" width="528" /></a>

Webcast: Dreaming of Tenure and IPOs While Patients Suffer and Diseases Remain Untreated - Sep 10 2013
https://oreillynet.com/pub/e/2700
<p>We need to show how a world of open science, building off of each other's work can be rewarded, to show how challenges and open competitions lead to sharing. </p> <p>I wonder what it will take to transition biomedical research to a haven for rapid learning, networked team approaches, and sharing insights that have been powering up the software industry and enabled physicists for decades. I wonder what it will take for citizens to rise up and say the current reward structures in academia where the majority of the NIH/government grants (that's your money) is given to scientists who expect to not share their insights till submitted to journals, and current operation models for biotech where VCs patrol for breaches in secrecy around insights they have made about human diseases such as Parkinson's using samples from patients till they can take out patents. We need to show how a world of open science, building off of each other's work can be rewarded, to show how challenges and open competitions lead to sharing. </p> <h3>About Dr. Stephen Friend</h3> <p> Dr. Friend is the President of Sage Bionetworks. He is an authority in the field of cancer biology and a leader in efforts to make large scale, data-intensive biology broadly accessible to the entire research community. Dr. Friend has been a senior advisor to the NCI, several biotech companies, a Trustee of the AACR and is a AAAS and Ashoka Fellow as well as an editorial board memeber of Open Network Biology. Dr. Friend was previously Senior Vice President and Franchise Head for Oncology Research at Merck & Co., Inc. where he led Merck's Basic Cancer Research efforts. Prior to joining Merck, Dr. Friend was recruited by Dr. Leland Hartwell to join the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center's Seattle Project, an advanced institute for drug discovery. While there Drs. Friend and Hartwell developed a method for examining large patterns of genes that led them to co-found Rosetta Inpharmatics in 2001. Dr. Friend has also held faculty positions at Harvard Medical School from 1987 to 1995 and at Massachusetts General Hospital from 1990 to 1995. He received his B.A. in philosophy, his Ph.D. in biochemistry and his M.D. from Indiana University. </p> <a href="https://strataconf.com/rx2013"><img alt="O'Reilly Strata Rx Conference" border="0" height="90" src="https://cdn.oreilly.com/images/oreilly/strata-rx2013-banner-528.png" width="528" /></a>

Webcast: Turning Bigger Data Into Better Healthcare - Sep 5 2013
https://oreillynet.com/pub/e/2690
<p>We now have more health related data than ever, but to actually turn it into better healthcare we need better data technology. </p> <p>Not only must this technology scale to petabytes of clinical genomics data but it must weave together collaborative data management with cybersecurity, on-demand analysis, and data-driven decision support at the point of care. At the same time it must shield patients and healthcare providers from the nuts and bolts of managing complex data and mitigate institutional liability arising from protected health information. </p> <p> This webcast presentation paints a picture of the direction clinical medicine is heading in the age of Big Data, highlighting ongoing data cyberinfrastructure development by University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill based RENCI and key partners to enable the transition. </p> <h3>About Michael Shoffner</h3> <p> Michael Shoffner is a Senior Research Software Architect in the Data Sciences Group at RENCI, a UNC-based research institute that develops and deploys advanced technologies to enable research discoveries, and an adjunct faculty member in the UNC School of Information and Library Science (SILS).

Webcast: From Macro Data to Micro Story - Aug 22 2013
https://oreillynet.com/pub/e/2728
<p> Data journalism is journalism's current big thing. But journalists - some who have been operating solo - soon learn that to be able to do it well (i.e. make the data serve audiences, not baffle or bore them) requires the team effort of many different specialists. A data journalism story is usually a project. A statistician/data scientist/researcher spots the trend. A coder and/or developer hones into the trend and data sets to translate it to the screen. From this, a visualizer/graphic artist tells a visual story, by creating a chart or infographic. An app developer ensures this sequence can be followed again and again from the same data sets to highlight many different stories, trends or hypotheses. The journalist is the director who orchestrates all this - then decides: how do I make sure this talks to my audience? A tall order! But a few simple techniques - and perhaps a rethink of newsroom jobs - can make this new big thing sing. The Country Director of <a href="https://www.internewskenya.org">Internews</a> in Kenya, <a href="https://strataconf.com/rx2013/public/schedule/speaker/155596">Ida Jooste</a> (<a href="https://twitter.com/idajooste">@idajooste</a>), walks through some projects put together by data journalism teams in Kenya, and invites you to brainstorm how one might make data journalism a sustainable new addition to newsroom culture. </p> <h3>About Ida Jooste</h3> <p> Ida Jooste is the Country Director for Internews Kenya - a seasoned television, radio and print journalist and news manager, journalism trainer and media development manager. As journalist, Ms. Jooste's work spanned African politics, development, science and health journalism, elections programming and investigative documentary production. A winner of over 20 journalism awards, she has played a leading role in political and social development journalism for the past 20 years, in various capacities at the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC), as consultant, university guest lecturer and most recently as Country Director at Internews in Kenya, where she has oversight of a growing portfolio of health, human rights and democracy and governance related journalism training programs. </p> <a href="https://strataconf.com/rx2013"><img alt="O'Reilly Strata Rx Conference" border="0" height="90" src="https://cdn.oreilly.com/images/oreilly/strata-rx2013-banner-528.png" width="528" /></a>

Webcast: The Art of the Scientist - Aug 14 2013
https://oreillynet.com/pub/e/2720
<p> While running experiments is a key activity in a Lean Startup, running effective experiments that lead to breakthrough insights is still considered more art than science. </p> <p> At the earliest stages of the product lifecycle, when we have relatively few customers, we struggle with making sense of seemingly small scale and qualitative customer feedback. </p> <p> Even though the mechanics of running experiments are quite straightforward, most lean practitioners fail to run effective experiments. </p> <p> In this webcast talk, Ash Maurya will teach you how to avoid these pitfalls and instead use a systems approach to craft the right next experiment no matter the stage of your product. </p> <h3>About Ash Maurya</h3> <p>Ash Maurya (<a href="https://twitter.com/ashmaurya">@ashmaurya</a>) is the founder of USERcycle.
