Jean-Marc Spaggiari, an early adopter of Kudu, works as a
Principal Solutions Architect for Cloudera to support Hadoop, Kudu,
HBase and other tools through technical support and consulting
work. His deep knowledge of HBase and HDFS allows him to better
understand Kudu and its applications.
Jean-Marc's primary role is to support HBase users over their HBase
cluster deployments, upgrades, configuration and optimization, as
well as to support them regarding HBase related application
development. He is also a very active HBase community member,
testing every release from performance and stability standpoints.
However, with Kudu being geared to quickly penetrate the market, he
will also begin recommending, building demo applications and
deploying proof of concepts around it.
Prior to Cloudera, Jean-Marc worked as a Project Manager and as a
Solutions Architect for CGI and insurances companies. He has almost
20 years of Java development experience. In addition to regularly
attending Strata+Hadoop World and HBaseCon, he has spoken at
various Hadoop User Group meetings and many conferences in North
America, usually focusing on HBase related presentations and
demonstrations. Jean-Marc is also the author of Architecting HBase
Applications (O'Reilly).Mladen Kovacevic comes from a development
background in RDBMS technology, and sees Kudu as a game changer in
the Hadoop ecosystem. He has presented Kudu at several local
meetups, presented on the state of Spark on Kudu during its beta
while providing feedback early enough to ensure Spark with Kudu is
a first-class citizen at its launch. He is a contributor to Apache
Kudu and Kite SDK projects, and works as a Solutions Architect at
Cloudera. Mladen's experience includes years of RDBMS engine
development, systems optimization, performance and architecture,
including optimizing Hadoop on the Power 8 platform while
developing IBM's Big SQL technology.Brock Noland followed Kudu
months before the first line of code was written, by following Todd
Lipcon's paper reading habits. Brock is Chief Architect of phData,
a pure-play Hadoop Managed Service Provider. Prior to founding
phData, Brock spent four years at Cloudera as a Trainer, Solution
Architect, Engineer, Sales Engineer, and Engineering Manager. Brock
is a co-founder of Apache Sentry and Apache Project Committee
Member on Apache Hive, Parquet, Crunch, Flume, and Incubator. Brock
was a mentor to Kudu in the incubator and currently mentors Apache
Impala (incubating). In addition he is a member of the Apache
Software Foundation.
Brock is frequent public speaker, having spoken at dozens of
conferences including HBaseCon, numerous Hadoop User Groups, and
other conferences.Ryan Bosshart is a Principal Systems Engineer at
Cloudera. Ryan has spent the last 10 years building and
architecting distributed systems. At Cloudera, Ryan leads the field
storage specialization team where he focuses on Apache HDFS, HBase,
and Kudu. He has worked with many early users of Kudu to build
their relational, time-series, IOT, or real-time architectures. He
has seen first-hand Kudu's ability to improve performance and
simplify architectures. Ryan is a co-chair of the Twin Cities Spark
and Hadoop User Group and the author of the training video Getting
Started with Kudu (O'Reilly).
