As enterprises engage with Big Data technologies to develop applications needed to meet operational demands, new computation fabrics are continually being introduced. To leverage these new innovations, organizations are sacrificing market opportunities to gain expertise in learning new systems.
In his session at Big Data Expo, Supreet Oberoi, Vice President of Field Engineering at Concurrent, Inc., discussed how to leverage existing infrastructure and investments and future-proof them against emerging technologies with Cascading. Cascading is the widely used application development framework for building data-centric applications, allowing developers to easily build enterprise-grade applications on emerging fabrics like Tez and Spark with existing skill sets. Cascading’s community also supports an ecosystem capable of connecting existing infrastructure with new investments.
