Boost Performance with Scala – Learn From Those Who’ve Done It! - ERP Spain.com - España y América Latina

Scalding is a scala DSL for Cascading. Run on Hadoop, it’s a concise, functional, and very efficient way to build big data applications. One significant benefit of Scalding is that it allows easy porting of Scalding apps from MapReduce to newer, faster execution fabrics.

In this webinar, Cyrille Chépélov, of Transparency Rights Management, will share how his organization boosted the performance of their Scalding apps by over 50% by moving away from MapReduce to Cascading 3.0 on Apache Tez. Dhruv Kumar, Hortonworks Partner Solution Engineer, will then explain how you can interact with data on HDP using Scala and leverage Scala as a programming language to develop Big Data applications.
