Watch this space for info on Hadoop WG Face-to-Face

The amazing @mvanzandt Mui Van Zandt is leading the organization committee on a Face to Face architecture & technical meeting that she has agreed to host. We are working on dates, location, (agenda has been finalized based on rolling feedback from Hadoop WG members). Mui will update y’all but I promised I would put something in the forum.

The agenda hasn’t been fully flushed out, but here’s some information regarding this event. Registration required. We will be posting the event and registration information on the OHDSI website in the next few days. Be on the lookout.

Date: Wednesday, June 28 and Thursday, June 29
Location: QuintilesIMS, 1 IMS Drive, Plymouth Meeting, PA 19462
Expenses: No registration fee, meeting venue sponsored by QuintilesIMS, breakfast and lunch are included and sponsored by Cloudera, attendees are responsible for their own travel & lodging

Goals:
The primary goal of this event is to bring together community members who is currently using or want to use Hadoop. Let’s share our experiences and approaches regarding Hadoop, Spark and/or SOLR during OMOP conversions/analytics. Using this opportunity, we want to accomplish the following:
• Create a draft version of 10 – 15 conversion standards using Hadoop
• Create a list of issues regarding Atlas on Hadoop and start fixing them
• Create an ETL conversion code in Hadoop using Synpuf data

The secondary goal is to provide folks who’s less experienced to Hadoop introduction classes and access to staff from organizations who are expert at big data coding (e.g. Cloudera, Odysseus, QuintilesIMS) at no cost in an effort to provide technical assistance or expertise.

Working sessions:

  • Writing ETL code to convert Synpuf data into OMOP using Hadoop
  • Come up with a draft version of OMOP standards using Hadoop during ETL Conversions - from project initiation, architecture set up, ETL code, automation, to data export
  • Identify issues with OHDSI tools in Hadoop and fix them

Cloudera Profession Support

  • Introduction to Hadoop, Spark and SOLR
  • Bring your Hadoop issues and the professional from Cloudera and the OMOP community will help you solve it
