Jonathan R. Owens has a background in Java and C++, and has worked in both private and public sectors as a software engineer. Most recently, he has been working with Hadoop and related distributed processing technologies.
Currently, he works for comScore, Inc., a widely regarded digital measurement and analytics company. At comScore, he is a member of the core processing team, which uses Hadoop and other custom distributed systems to aggregate, analyze, and manage over 40 billion transactions per day.
I would like to thank my parents James and Patricia Owens, for their support and introducing me to technology at a young age.
Jon Lentz is a Software Engineer on the core processing team at comScore, Inc., an online audience measurement and analytics company. He prefers to do most of his coding in Pig. Before working at comScore, he developed software to optimize supply chains and allocate fixed-income securities.
To my daughter, Emma, born during the writing of this book. Thanks for the company on late nights.
Brian Femiano has a B.S. in Computer Science and has been programming professionally for over 6 years, the last two of which have been spent building advanced analytics and Big Data capabilities using Apache Hadoop. He has worked for the commercial sector in the past, but the majority of his experience comes from the government contracting space. He currently works for Potomac Fusion in the DC/Virginia area, where they develop scalable algorithms to study and enhance some of the most advanced and complex datasets in the government space. Within Potomac Fusion, he has taught courses and conducted training sessions to help teach Apache Hadoop and related cloud-scale technologies.
I'd like to thank my co-authors for their patience and hard work building the code you see in this book. Also, my various colleagues at Potomac Fusion, whose talent and passion for building cutting-edge capability and promoting knowledge transfer have inspired me.
