Hadoop hackday Delhi is a fun, interactive, collaborative and semi-competitive event centered around Hadoop hacking. The goal is to experiment, learn Hadoop, and build something useful, imaginative and working using Hadoop and related distributed computing technologies. The event is open to all.
For those who don't know, Hadoop is an open-source implementation of the map-reduce design pattern pioneered by google. It allows you to chop a big problem (like, ehem, crawling and indexing the entire internet) into a lot of little problems.
If you haven't used hadoop before that is perfectly fine. Most of the participants have never used hadoop before, so you won't be at a disadvantage. Many participants plan on using Amazon Elastic MapReduce, and writing programs in Pig or Hive. So this will be an excellent opportunity to learn how to get started using hadoop with minimal operations overhead in a supportive (yet semi-competitive) environment. By the end of the weekend you should be up and running with Hadoop, and able to use it in your personal or professional life with confidence!
