The 4th OSS Conference of the Ministry of Knowledge Economy

This week, I was invited as a special lecturer and panel speaker at the 4th OSS Conference of the Ministry of Knowledge Economy (Korea). It was fun and here's a few pictures.

Flume NG Performance

According to Flume wiki[1], it has capable of achieving approx. 70,000 events/sec on a single machine (high-end level) at the time of the test with no data loss (300 bytes per event). If you can't imagine how big 70,000 events/sec is, see this "Tweets per second"[2].

Bioinformatics, Big Data, and MapReduce

Today suddenly someone asked me about Bioinformatics, Big Data, and MapReduce, I said "you should be more concerned about data complexity than size. And also, studying GraphLab or Hama will be helpful" ... :/

Memorise these, and you could pass yourself off as an expert.
