mining. Speakers include Jakob Homan from Yahoo! who will give in introduction
to the new Hadoop security features, Daniel Einspanjer is going to show how

HBase in their Messaging architecture, Dawid Weiss, Simon Willnauer
and Uwe Schindler are
showing the latest Apache Lucene developments, Mark Miller provides
insights into Solr Performance
and Mathias Stearn is discussing MongoDB scalability questions.

source project Couchbase (based on Apache CouchDB and Memcached), get in touch
with interested users and discuss their technical questions on site." says Jan
Lehnardt, Co-Founder of Couchbase (merged CouchOne and Membase (formerly
