Apache Gora provides an in-memory data model and persistence for big data. The journey for Gora has also featured an uptake in collaboration with high-profile projects and exciting participation in Google's Google Summer of Code (GSoC) program.
One of this year's exciting GSoC project was the integration of Apache Gora with Apache Giraph. Apache Giraph is an iterative graph processing system built for high scalability. For example, it is currently used at Facebook to analyze the social graph formed by users and their connections. This presentation combines lessons learned while integrating two awesome Apache Projects (Apache Giraph and Apache Gora), and showing NoSQL users the ability of performing graph analysis just the way Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and other big internet companies do with their huge graphs of data, by just writing some Input/Output classes in Giraph for Gora.
