I have added it to my list of things to read

I am planning on doing an unscientific bakeoff between Java Hadoop, Spark and Shark using a basic filter and map/reduce. Curious to see the difference in performance.

Great review. We attended several of the same sessions. It was a rich conference for both its content and for the t-shirts.

Spark and Shark from the AMPLab at Berkeley caught a lot of buzz the first couple of days. The Berkeley Data Analytics Stack (BDAS) is something to keep our eyes on. One of my to-do projects is to spin up an instance on AWS and finish going through their tutorials. Their documentation on how to do this and how to go through their exercises is pretty good. A paper published in Nov 2012 goes through some of the voodoo CS they did to get Shark so much faster than Hive. It’s a dense paper. I need to read more to see if it’s just for some use cases where Shark runs 100x than Hive.

Love the t-shirts! Great review – next time, make sure you stop by SiSense’s booth! We got voted “Best In Show” at the event. Find out why @ http://bit.ly/YOnUdy

Comment on Be Careful Searching Python Dictionaries! by Tim

Tim — Thu, 14 Feb 2013 01:26:23 +0000

Iterating over anything will take at least O(n) in the length of the iterator, but because dictionaries are hash tables, random access is O(1) in the size of the dictionary.

Actually, the reason I did not mention it was because I was afraid of Eclipse. Fortunately, in my previous job I got to use it religiously and am not afraid of Eclipse or Java anymore. I love them now! I agree though, it is frustrating that there is no decent plugin for Eclipse.

I guess the reason he did not mention my pet peeve with Hadoop is that this article was written a while ago. That pet peeve is: why, oh why, won’t Apache’s MapReduce plugin work with the up to date releases/versions of Eclipse? It is really silly to have to run it in a VM just so that it doesn’t use the later releases I must use for the other projects I do with Eclipse.

Very interesting read. I wonder if you will get to read this; I quite liked your beamer theme. Any chance I can see the TeX source for it?

Thanks!

Comment on OpenPaths and a Progressive Approach to Privacy by Steve

Steve — Fri, 19 Oct 2012 15:18:27 +0000

I have found OpenPaths to be wrong. On more than one occasion it has shown me to be somewhere that I have never been. About every day or so at least one datapoint is completely wrong. There seems to be a bug that they need to work out before they can use this data for research.

Thanks! You’re absolutely correct. I probably should have revised the post once I learned more. At the time, it wasn’t entirely clear what exactly Storm was. The phrase “real-time MapReduce” kept standing out, but it does not use map-reduce natively.
