由於場地的關係，我們必須將議程稍做調整。基本上的內容並沒有太大的改變，只是做了一些時間上的調整。新的議程詳細內容。

Vivek Ratan (vivekr@yahoo-inc.com) is the Architect of the Grid Computing
group at Yahoo! Bangalore. He graduated with a Masters degree in Computer
Science from the University of Washington, Seattle, and has spent many years
working in research labs, startups, and large Enterprises in various areas
of distributed computing.
The Grid Computing group at Yahoo! Bangalore focuses on Grid frameworks that
scale to thousands of machines and handle peta-bytes of data. The group is
especially involved in the development of the Open Source Hadoop platform
and its deployment within Yahoo!.

Hadoop (http://hadoop.apache.org/), an open source volunteer project under
the Apache Software Foundation, is a framework for running applications on
large clusters built of commodity hardware. It lets one easily write and run
applications that process vast amounts of data (terabytes to petabytes).

Hadoop implements a computational paradigm named Map-Reduce, where the
application is divided into many small fragments of work, each of which may
be executed or reexecuted on any node in the cluster. In addition, it
provides a distributed file system (HDFS) that stores data on the compute
nodes, providing very high aggregate bandwidth across the cluster. Yahoo! is
one of the main contributors to Hadoop and uses it extensively to manage
large clusters of machines.

I hope to engage the open-source community on Hadoop and encourage
participation in its development. I will present an overview of Hadoop and
its architecture with a focus on the Map-Reduce component. I will describe
the engineering challenges and briefly talk about how Hadoop clusters are
used in Yahoo!.
