Hive is a scalable data warehouse infrastructure built on top of Hadoop. It provides tools to enable easy data ETL, a mechanism to put structures on the data, and the capability to querying and analysis of large data sets stored in Hadoop files. Hive defines a simple SQL-like query language, called HiveQL, that enables users familiar with SQL to query the data. At the same time, this language also allows programmers who are familiar with the MapReduce fromwork to be able to plug in their custom …

The DataStax Cassandra SF User Group is a highly awesome meetup group, bringing together cool people distributed across the bay area to talk about our favorite NoSQL implementation, Apache Cassandra.

BASPIG is a systems-programming interest group for folks in the Silicon Valley area. If you're into programming that maxes out machine perf, works against the bare metal, self-modifies, hypervises, takes in a language, compiles, blits, message passes, saturates available bandwidth, routes, scales, replicates, reaches consensus, dispatches kernels to cores, interprets, JITs, or self-hosts, this is the group for you. We intend to have regularly scheduled talks on prodigious systems-programming top …

With an emphasis on the useful application of supercomputing by practitioners, for practitioners. Note: We have a sister groups that meet in Boston, "HPC & GPU Supercomputing Group of Boston", Chicago, "HPC & GPU Supercomputing Group of Chicago", and New York, "HPC & GPU Supercomputing Group of New York".

Data Center Technologies? Technologies Flowing Through Data Centers? How Does A Data Center Make Their Money?

Founded in August 2005, WSO2 is a global enterprise middleware corporation with offices in USA, UK and Sri Lanka. Providing the only complete open source middleware platform, WSO2 is revolutionizing the industry by putting traditional middleware on a diet and introducing lean, powerful and flexible solutions to address the 21st century enterprise challenges.

A meetup group to discuss the Go Programming Language. (from golang.org) The Go programming language is an open source project to make programmers more productive. Go is expressive, concise, clean, and efficient. Its concurrency mechanisms make it easy to write programs that get the most out of multicore and networked machines, while its novel type system enables flexible and modular program construction. Go compiles quickly to machine code yet has the convenience of garbage collection and the …
