The Innovation Pavilion - Conference Room 1B
9200 E Mineral Ave, Centennial, CO 

Mac Moore and Shane Kumpf will be here from Hortonworks. They'll be presenting on Hadoop based architectures that leverage streaming, ETL, and machine learning components, of the stack, to deliver real time predictive analytics.  They will take a real use case from a customer, which processes & visualizes a real-time stream of events with Storm, trains a predictive model with Spark ML libs on YARN and plugs the Spark model back into Storm to make real-time predictions. Automating the above pipeline leads to a closed loop, real time predictive analytics solution, which is applicable to several industries & use cases.
