Photos from our LA User Groups First Annual Holiday Party

·2 mins

It was a whole bunch of intense fun photographing so many of you at our Los Angeles User Groups Holiday Party last week! (Only junkies and programmers would think “User” is a good name for a holiday party.) But we do throw a helluva party, and nearly 80 of you were photographed for head shots. You guys are awesome, and we all really enjoyed it!

Below are two links to your fabulous photos on Flickr, for those who were photographed for head shots. So you don’t have to look through so many of other people’s pics to find yours, I’ve implemented a ‘Binary Search Algorithm’, you know - cut ‘em in half. If you were shot more towards the beginning of the party, you’re probably in Part 1, and if you were later in the evening, most likely your photos are in Part 2.

There something uniquely intimate about photographing someone. Even though we barely talked I feel like I got to know many of you in a way that words often get in the way of. I really enjoyed setting up a mini-set like I did, it was a fun experiment for me - and it was nice to have so many attractive and interesting models to photograph!

I’m very proud of what we did together… but as great as you all are, the photos aren’t yet perfect. If you have a friend who knows Photoshop, let them know that a little cropping and color correction could help some of the photos become a little more awesome. (To download a photo from Flickr, click on the photo you like and it will open in its own window. You’ll see an icon for “downloading” in the right hand corner.)

Have a great holiday season!

The case for Apache Spark

I have been following Big Data, Hadoop in particular, for the past four years and a lot has changed since then. At the time I was looking for the next big wave of technologies, especially on the back end of development as that was my forte at the time. After our initial introduction, the more I learned the more I felt Hadoop was the right tool to get the job done. Focusing upon the development aspects of job vs actual maintenance of the servers/cluster has always been a no-brainer for me. Now that Hadoop has been adopted by a wide variety of industries and has grown quite popular, it has become much more apparent that there are indeed areas where Hadoop is lacking. Security and real-time analytics are two of these concerns which both affect real-time processing and reporting, but fortunately there is a lot of current work happening to address these limitations. Consequently, there is a group of big data vendors who are investing a large number of resources as a remedy, bringing us newer tools such as Yarn, Tez, Storm, etc. Also, acquisitions of XA Secure by Hortonworks and Gazzang by Cloudera are contributing to the solving these issues around security.

Making Maps with a Punchline

I’ve had a lifelong fascination with maps, and working with R definitely enables my map habit. Perhaps there’s something about being an immigrant that made me particularly introspective, since from a very early age I was aware that I was “from” one place on the map and now lived at this “other place.”
