Despite all the buzz about it, building a horizontally scalable application for cloud deployment isn’t all that different from building one for a physical deployment, except in its ability to change size on-the-fly. Bigger applications have been using commodity hardware and fault-tolerant design to achieve high availability and scalability for a while, but provisioning capacity remains troublesome there. The real addition the cloud brings architecturally is the ability to add new resources instantly, and even change your provisioning profile algorithmically.

Let us preface this by apologizing for poor recording quality! We had a technical issue that caused clipping on the audio. :(
We will get a transcript up soon to save your ears.

Despite that, we’ve got a recording from the Hadoop meetup last night in AppNexus. , Chief Application Architect at MapR Technologies, will talk about recent developments in Mahout and real-time learning.

In particular, Ted covers the results from quality and speed testing of Mahout’s new super-fast k-means clustering algorithms (hint, quality is very good and speed is phenomenal). He also dives deep into a design for a on-line clustering facility that can cluster the full content of the Twitter fire-hose into thousands of clusters in real-time.
