Data has been increasing at an exponential rate and organizations are either struggling to cope up or rushing to take advantage by analyzing it. Hadoop is an excellent open source framework, which addresses this big data problem.
I have used Hadoop within the financial sector for the last few years but could not find any resource or book that explains the usage of Hadoop for finance use cases. The best books I have ever found are again on Hadoop, Hive, or some MapReduce patterns, with examples on counting words or Twitter messages in all possible ways.
I have written this book with the objective of explaining the basic usage of Hadoop and other products to tackle big data for finance use cases. I have touched base on the majority of use cases, providing a very practical approach.

Unlocking data science in the enterprise - with Oracle and ClouderaCloudera, Inc.
Today, leading organizations struggle to make their data scientists productive in their modern data platforms. Data scientists find it difficult to use their existing open source languages (e.g. Python, R) and libraries with Hadoop, especially when the clusters are secured with Kerberos. At the same time, IT doesn't want to give special access to these users, who require very diverse and specific environment configurations to run their experiments. As a result, most data science teams work away from the big data cluster, often on their laptops or in other data silos. The negative business impacts are a lack of insight and agility for the most advanced users, and the security, governance, and cost issues that arise from data silos.
The Power of your Data Achieved - Next Gen ModernizationHortonworks
Fueled by ever-changing customer behaviors and an increasing number of industry disruptions, the modern enterprise requires analytics to stay ahead of the game. Today’s data warehouse needs continuous enhancements to address new requirements for advanced analytics, real-time streaming data, Big Data, and unstructured data. The focus should be on developing a forward-looking, future-proof view and holistically addressing the combination of forces that are impacting the existing operational model.

Whether data is big or small, quality remains the critical characteristic. While traditional approaches to cleansing data have made strides, nonetheless, data quality remains a serious hurdle for all organizations. This is especially true for identity resolution in customer data, but also for a range of other data sets, including social, supply chain, financial and other domains. One of the most promising approaches for solving this decades-old challenge incorporates the power of massive parallel processing, a la Hadoop.
Register for this episode of The Briefing Room to learn from veteran Analyst Dr. Claudia Imhoff, who will explain how Hadoop 2.0 and its YARN architecture can make a serious impact on the previously intractable problem of data quality. She’ll be briefed by George Corugedo of RedPoint Global, who will show how his company’s platform can serve as a super-charged marshaling area for accessing, cleansing and delivering high-quality data. He’ll explain how RedPoint was one of the first applications to be certified for running on YARN, which is the latest rendition of the now-ubiquitous Hadoop.

Open source Apache Hadoop is a great framework for distributed processing of large data sets. But there’s a difference between “playing” with big data versus solving real problems. The reality is that Hadoop alone is not enough. In fact, almost every organization that plans to use Hadoop for production use quickly discovers that it lacks the required features for enterprise use. And, fewer still have the Hadoop specialists on hand to navigate through the complexity to build reliable, robust applications. As a result, many Hadoop projects never make it to production as executives say, “we just don’t have the skills.” In this session, we will discuss these enterprise capabilities and why they’re important: analytics, visualization, security, enterprise integration, developer/admin tools, and more. Additionally, we will share several real-world client examples who have found it necessary to use an enterprise-grade Hadoop platform to tackle some of the most interesting and challenging business problems.

How Data-Driven Approaches are Changing Your Data Management Strategies
Introducing data-driven strategies into your business model alters the way your organization manages and provides information to your customers, partners and employees. Gone are the days of “waterfall” implementation strategies from relational data to applications within a data center. Now, data-driven business models require agile implementation of applications based on information from all across an organization–on-premises, cloud, and mobile–and includes information from outside corporate walls from partners, third-party vendors, and customers. Data management strategies need to be ready to meet these challenges or your new and disruptive business models will fail at the most critical time: when your customers want to access it.

How to Leverage the Cloud for Business Solutions | Strata Data Conference Lon...MapR Technologies
IT budgets are shrinking, and the move to next-generation technologies is upon us. The cloud is an option for nearly every company, but just because it is an option doesn’t mean it is always the right solution for every problem.
Most cloud providers would prefer that every customer be tightly coupled with their proprietary services and APIs to create lock-in with that cloud provider. The savvy customer will leverage the cloud as infrastructure and stay loosely bound to a cloud provider. This creates an opportunity for the customer to execute a multicloud strategy or even a hybrid on-premises and cloud solution.
Jim Scott explores different use cases that may be best run in the cloud versus on-premises, points out opportunities to optimize cost and operational benefits, and explains how to get the data moved between locations. Along the way, Jim discusses security, backups, event streaming, databases, replication, and snapshots across a variety of use cases that run most businesses today.
Is your organization at the analytics crossroads? Have you made strides collecting and sharing massive amounts of data from electronic health records, insurance claims, and health information exchanges but found these efforts made little impact on efficiency, patient outcomes, or costs?

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).
