Big data with Spring XD - by Spring Batch Lead Michael Minella

Abstract
Big data is all the buzz these days.  However, the currently accepted toolset for working with Hadoop is painful to use and built on immature technologies.  Spring XD is a new Spring project that brings common Spring patterns to the big data world by using enterprise proven technologies.  In this talk, Michael Minella will provide an introduction to Spring XD, demonstrate common use cases, and discuss how to extend it for your own uses.
NOTE: The talk will only be available for attendees that show up in person. The only virtual attendee will be our speaker, Michael Minella.
