Conferences

It was a pleasure to present at Lucene Solr Revolution in Washington DC and Big Data Spain in Madrid.

 

Next!

 

Next release (3.9) will mostly focus on Spark & Search and bring general improvements/feature completeness in all the apps.

 

In parallel, the design & development of Hue 4 is kicking in with the goal of becoming the equivalent of “Excel for Big Data”. A fresh new look, a unification of all the apps, wizards for ingesting data… will let you use the full platform in a single UI for fast Big Data querying and prototyping!

 

Onwards!!
