Some of today’s internet software serves millions of users and uses petabytes of data. NoSQL databases and MapReduce algorithms help us make use of large numbers of servers in different locations to manage this data and serve these users. Apache Hadoop provides “open source software for reliable, scalable, distributed computing”. Some companies using it are Amazon, EBay, Facebook, Hulu, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Yahoo.
I will give an overview of the Hadoop suite, review a sample java application using some of the technology, and entertain questions and discussion.

The Apache Maven Project is a software project management and comprehension tool. It has introduced a greatly simplified the build process and stresses Convention versus Configuration. Maven defines projects via a Project Object Module and uses that information for automated builds and deployments. It is highly extensible via plugins, but performs most common build tasks straight out of the box. This presentation will perform a high level demo of Maven, then will discuss the new Maven 3.0 beta release.
