Abstract: Data Analytics started with Hadoop in 2005 when it made possible to mine large data sets to extract intelligence from it. These were batch jobs that ran for hours. Then a natural evolution happened around 2010 that enabled stream processing of data at scale that reduced the time from data-to-insights to tens of minutes. But there was a need to lowering this time further, for example, for Facebook Newsfeed and the LinkedIn FollowFeed applications - this lead to the birth of real-time analytics. In this talk, the speaker will describe how large scale realtime data analysis has positively impacted human lives, by discussing examples of real-time advertising processing, realtime fleet-management processing, and realtime retail-checkout experience.
