SUMMARY:GatorJUG
DESCRIPTION:This month we're going to have a combined meeting with the
  OrlandoJUG in Orlando. Carol McDonald will join us and give a prese
 ntation on Apache Spark. You won't want to miss it! Here are the deta
 ils:\n\n\nApache Spark is a fast and general engine for large-scale da
 ta processing. In contrast to Hadoop's two-stage disk-based MapReduce 
 paradigm, Spark's in-memory primitives provide performance up to 100 t
 imes faster for certain applications. \nThe Spark software stack incl
 udes a core data-proccessing engine, an interface for interactive quer
 ying, Sparkstreaming for streaming data analysis, and growing librarie
 s for machine-learning and graph analysis. Spark is quickly establishi
 ng itself as a leading environment for doing fast, iterative in-memory
  and streaming analysis. \nThis talk will give an introduction the Sp
 ark stack, explain how Spark has lighting fast results, and how it com
 plements Apache Hadoop. \nPresented by Carol McDonald, MapR Technolog
 ies \nCarol is an instructor and curriculum developer at MapR. She ha
 s extensive experience as a software developer and architect, building
  complex mission-critical applications in the banking, health ins and
