ApacheCon North America 2014

For diverse organizations, Apache Hadoop has become the de-facto place where data & computational resources are shared. This broad usage has stretched its design beyond its intended target. To address this, Apache Hadoop community has come up with next generation of Hadoop’s compute platform: YARN.

YARN in a nutshell is the distributed Operating System of the big-data world. In this talk, we will introduce YARN, covering how the new architecture decouples programming model from resource management, scheduling functions, platform’s fault tolerance & high availability, tools for application tracing & analyses. We will then discuss the exciting ecosystem of Apache Software Foundation projects forming around YARN. We will conclude with a coverage on the applications & services being built around YARN platform which lets user chose the programming models choice, all on the same data.
