The past few weeks highlighted Yahoo’s efforts at two important, open forums: the <a href="http://hadoopsummit.org/dublin/" target="_blank">2016 Hadoop Summit in Dublin</a> and the <a href="http://www.meetup.com/hadoop/events/229327671/" target="_blank">52nd Bay Area Hadoop User Group (HUG) Meetup</a>.</p><p>Yahoo co-hosts Hadoop Summits annually with Hortonworks in both Europe and North America. The Dublin Summit earlier this month was our largest-ever held in Europe. Yahoo’s keynote and technical sessions were very-well received; in those talks, Sr. Director of Cloud and Big Data Platforms Sumeet Singh spoke about our data tech innovations including <a href="https://github.com/yahoo/caffeonspark" target="_blank">CaffeOnSpark</a> (for distributed deep learning), <a href="http://incubator.apache.org/projects/omid.html" target="_blank">Omid </a>(for managing transactions atop HBase), <a href="http://datasketches.github.io/" target="_blank">Data Sketches</a> (for interactive queries), and leading contributions to the advancement of <a href="http://hadoop.apache.org" target="_blank">Apache Hadoop</a> (for better cluster efficiencies), <a href="http://storm.apache.org" target="_blank">Apache Storm</a> (for releasing 1.0), and <a href="http://hbase.apache.org" target="_blank">Apache HBase</a> (for scaling clusters to host millions of regions).</p><p>Check out Sumeet’s keynote and deep-dive talks here:</p><p><b>Hadoop Summit Yahoo 2016 Keynote:</b></p><figure class="tmblr-embed tmblr-full" data-provider="youtube" data-orig-width="540" data-orig-height="304" data-url="https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DSX2MExefOxU"><iframe width="540" height="304" id="youtube_iframe" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SX2MExefOxU?feature=oembed&enablejsapi=1&origin=https://safe.txmblr.com&wmode=opaque" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></figure><p><b><br/></b></p><p><b>Hadoop Platform at Yahoo A Year in Review:</b><br/></p><figure class="tmblr-embed tmblr-full" data-provider="youtube" data-orig-width="540" data-orig-height="304" data-url="https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D5CqoYbUhATA"><iframe width="540" height="304" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5CqoYbUhATA?feature=oembed&enablejsapi=1&origin=https://safe.txmblr.com&wmode=opaque" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></figure><center><br/>********************</center><figure data-orig-width="1366" data-orig-height="768" class="tmblr-full"><img src="https://66.media.tumblr.com/57513aa94adfa64a6df81773f86d20cd/tumblr_inline_o6bxqtSCBk1t17fny_540.jpg" alt="image" data-orig-width="1366" data-orig-height="768"/></figure><p>Last week, we also hosted our second HUG Meetup of the year. It was great to have over 150 industry colleagues join us on campus in Sunnyvale for three presentations on various aspects of Hadoop. We strongly believe there is mutual benefit to sharing our latest learnings and innovations, and invite all those in the community to <a href="http://www.meetup.com/hadoop/events/229327671/" target="_blank">join the group</a> and future meetups.<br/></p><p>Watch the presentations here:</p><p><b>CaffeOnSpark: Distributed Deep Learning on Spark Clusters:</b></p><figure class="tmblr-embed tmblr-full" data-provider="youtube" data-orig-width="540" data-orig-height="304" data-url="https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dbqj7nML-aHk"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bqj7nML-aHk?feature=oembed&enablejsapi=1&origin=https://safe.txmblr.com&wmode=opaque" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="304" width="540"></iframe></figure><p><b><b><br/></b></b></p><p><b><b>The latest of Apache Hadoop YARN and running your docker apps on YARN:</b></b></p><figure class="tmblr-embed tmblr-full" data-provider="youtube" data-orig-width="540" data-orig-height="304" data-url="https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D1jv0x8a9c3E"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1jv0x8a9c3E?feature=oembed&enablejsapi=1&origin=https://safe.txmblr.com&wmode=opaque" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="304" width="540"></iframe></figure><p><b><br/></b></p><p><b>Demystifying Big Data and Apache Spark:</b></p><figure class="tmblr-embed tmblr-full" data-provider="youtube" data-orig-width="540" data-orig-height="304" data-url="https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D1LCk0CdRU9o"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1LCk0CdRU9o?feature=oembed&enablejsapi=1&origin=https://safe.txmblr.com&wmode=opaque" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="304" width="540"></iframe></figure>
