• Apache: Data driven applications based on Apache projects

  by Isabel Drost

  Storing ever growing amounts of data is getting cheaper each year. Building great applications requires data driven application design: Starting with clear guidelines on which data to gather, building new features based on usage data up to discovering deficiencies based on implicit user feedback.

  Several projects at the ASF make it possible to jump start your data driven applications with existing projects for data analysis, search, storage and data mining. This talk shows how to combine the various tools, helps with understanding what pigs, elephants and mahouts can do for you.
