Clearance Center, Inc. (CCC), a leader in advancing copyright,
accelerating knowledge, and powering innovation, is sponsoring and
hosting the next monthly Boston
Apache Spark User Group Meetup at 6:30 pm on 30 May 2019 at its
headquarters at 222 Rosewood Drive in Danvers.
The Boston
Apache Spark User Group is open to technology professionals in the
Greater Boston area interested in Apache
Spark – what it is, what it does, and what other people are doing
with it. Recent Apache Spark meetups were sponsored by WB
Games Boston, Quantum
Black, and McGraw
Hill.
The 30 May meetup will feature presentations by CCC’s Matt Kleiderman,
Director of Architecture, and Glenn Street, Data Architect. Kleiderman
will speak on “Author Disambiguation in a Knowledge Graph,” covering how
to build a knowledge graph of authorships and citations. Street’s
presentation, “How to (Not) Light a Pile of Money on Fire Using
On-Demand Web Services for ETL,” will describe how Street and his
colleagues learned to make the most of on-demand serverless ETL and will
offer tips for keeping costs under control.
WB Games’ Principal Big Data Engineer, Nick Afshartous, and Helen Liu,
computer science major at Northeastern University and currently on co-op
with WB Games, will also present an approach to auto-scaling Amazon EMR
clusters running Spark Streaming.
