Westin Copley Place, Boston, MA
MapR-s Vice President of Product Management Tomer Shiran will present a session titled, “One Platform for Big Data.” Until recently, a defining characteristic of Big Data platforms has been that they are highly specialized. Hadoop didn-t really deal with ad hoc queries, relational engines couldn-t handle scale, NoSQL and search engines couldn-t handle SQL and none of the common platforms could really combine real-time and long-time analyses. Solutions are emerging, however, that allow all of these capabilities to be supported by a single platform. Join the session to understand how one such platform could provide an answer to Big Data questions.
