Lewis John McGibbney - The Apache Gora open source framework provides an in-memory data model and persistence for big data. Gora supports persisting to column stores, key value stores, document stores and RDBMSs, and analyzing the data with extensive Apache Hadoop MapReduce support. In this presentation Lewis will cover his work on deploying Gora as a query broker in order to address information retireval problems presented within the field of federated web search. The presentation will provide an in-depth account of the problem scenario, the proposed solution including code examples and a running example of how Gora can be deployed to address such as dataset resource selection and results merging.
