What the Hackathon? 3 Build an Apache Apex (native Hadoop) Big Data App

Come join us at DataTorrent for our third hackathon! Spend a day writing and building a native Hadoop big data Apache Apex streaming application.

Apache Apex is a native Hadoop data in motion platform that is being used by customers for both streaming as well as batch processing. Common use cases include ingestion into Hadoop, streaming analytics, ETL, database off-loads, alerts and monitoring, machine model scoring, etc. 

The day will start with a presentation by a DataTorrent engineer about how Apex can be used as a powerful and versatile platform for big data, and how to get started on building your big data streaming app. 

Participants can work in teams of up to 3 people. Feel free to come with a team or find one when you get here. There will be food, drinks, and prizes. We'll have DataTorrent engineers and Apache Apex committers on hand to help you with any questions throughout the day.

Specs are:

- At least quad-core, i5 or higher
