Combining CDH with a business execution engine can serve as a solid foundation for complex event processing on big data.

Event processing involves tracking and analyzing streams of data from events to support better insight and decision making. With the recent explosion in data volume and diversity of data sources, this goal can be quite challenging for architects to achieve.

Complex event processing (CEP) is a type of event processing that combines data from multiple sources to identify patterns and complex relationships across various events.

Learn how to use OCR tools, Apache Spark, and other Apache Hadoop components to process PDF images at scale.

Optical character recognition (OCR) technologies have advanced significantly over the last 20 years. However, during that time, there has been little or no effort to marry OCR with distributed architectures such as Apache Hadoop to process large numbers of images in near-real time.

In this post, you will learn how to use standard open source tools along with Hadoop components such as Apache Spark,

Thrift client authentication and doAs impersonation, introduced in HBase 1.0, provides more flexibility for your HBase installation.

In the two-part blog series “How-to: Use the HBase Thrift Interface” (Part 1 and Part 2), Jesse Anderson explained the Thrift interface in detail, and demonstrated how to use it. He didn’t cover running Thrift in a secure Apache HBase cluster, however, because there was no difference in the client configuration with the HBase releases available at that time.
