Building Scale Free Applications with Hadoop and Cascading

Many more applications are suitable to be built on Apache Hadoop than many developers realize.

In this presentation, we hope to give attendees enough information on how Hadoop works, how MapReduce can be leveraged to perform common and well understood data processing operations, and how the "Cascading":http://www.cascading.org/ open-source project helps developers rapidly build sophisticated Hadoop applications that can be simply tested locally and executed remotely.
