Big Data Tools for the Oracle DBA
Terms such as Big Data, NoSQL, Hadoop, Kafka, and R are creating a storm that is engulfing the database world—but what do these terms really mean for you, the Oracle professional? What does Big Data change about your day, and how do you adapt in order to become an essential member of your company’s Big Data strategy?
IOUG speakers explore these questions and more while giving practical advice on how to learn, use, and mature these technologies for new deployments and mature business systems.
CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST
8:00 a.m. - 9:00 a.m.
WELCOME & KEYNOTE - How Statistics (And a Little Public Data) Can Change a City
9:00 a.m. - 9:45 a.m.
The creator of I Quant NY, a data science and policy blog that focuses on insights drawn from New York City's public data, Ben Wellington, advocates the analysis of open data to affect policy. The Open Data movement is growing, and governments are releasing vast amounts of data to the public. As citizens push for more transparency, it is fair to ask what we can actually do to derive actionable insights from this data. How can this data help us improve the cities we live and work in, whether we are policymakers, businesses, or residents? Wellington explores how he's used his blog and some simple data science techniques to make changes in New York City. He discusses best practices for data science in the policy space, explores how storytelling is an important aspect of data science, and highlights the various datadriven interactions he's had with city agencies. He contends that data science need not use complicated math: It's often more about curiosity and the questions we ask than the complexity of the equations we use.
Ben Wellington, I Quant NY

C101: Get Real-Time Oracle Data Into Kafka to Unlock the Value of Your Data
10:45 a.m. - 11:45 a.m.
Kafka is gaining momentum as a very popular and fast messaging platform. It is extremely good at quickly integrating different types of data. Kafka makes this data available as an up-to-date, real-time data stream for enterprise users who are no longer satisfied making business decisions with static data. So much hidden data is available in our Oracle databases, the issue becomes how to turn the database inside out and make this data available in real-time to Kafka along with other enterprise data sources. This session presents use cases and a live demo for Oracle real-time data streaming as well as an introduction to Kafka and how to use Oracle logical replication to get real-time data into Kafka.
Chris Lawless, Product Manager, Dbvisit Software Limited
C102: Spark for Oracle Developers
12:00 p.m. - 12:45 p.m.
This session covers moving from an Oraacle-only pipeline to a real time Spark pipeline.
Anant Asthans, Big Data Consultant/Data Scientist, Data Scientist, Pythian
ATTENDEE LUNCH in the Data Solutions Showcase
12:45 p.m. - 2:00 p.m.
C103: Integrate Big Data with Master Data on Hadoop and Spark
2:00 p.m. - 2:45 p.m.
Big Data analytics furnishes actionable information to help business decisions—e.g., "Which of our products got four stars rating on social media in the last quarter?” Producing actionable information requires both Big Data i.e., facts, usually stored in HDFS or NoSQL DBMS as well as Master Data i.e., products, customers, usually stored in Oracle database. You either ship Master Data to Hadoop (ETL) or access it directly at the storage location through a storage handler. This technical session demonstrates Oracle Table Access for Hadoop and Spark (OTA4H) which turns Oracle database tables into Hadoop or Spark datasources thereby allowing Hive SQL or Spark SQL queries and joins without shipping data around.
Kuassi Mensah, Director of Product Management, Oracle Corporation
COFFEE BREAK in the Data Solutions Showcase
2:45 p.m. - 3:15 p.m.
C104: Hadoop Data Store and Retrieval: Perceptions and Reality
3:15 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Hadoop-based data stores have attracted the imagination of technologists, management, and technology leaders. Hadoop data stores are distinctly different from traditional structured relational databases. They have opened the door for new paradigms in storing structured and unstructured data and led to a concept of "store first, think later" as to how to use it. This session focuses mainly on how data can co-exist between traditional RDBMS and emerging data types within the Hadoop ecosystem. It discusses how data formats and query engines differ from the traditional access patterns. Many complex data management issues within Hadoop exist. With many open source projects running parallel, there are new ideas, new query modules, and new storage methods evolving. We discuss perceptions and realities from a data administrator and data manager perspective.
Madhu Tumma, Director, IT Engineering, TIAA-CREF
C105: Oracle NoSQL for the Oracle RDBMS DBA
4:15 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Numerous NoSQL databases are on the market, under evaluation, and implemented in shops that are traditionally RDBMS shops. Where does the Oracle NoSQL Database fit in? The Oracle RDBMS database administrator has an opportunity to learn Oracle NoSQL and add it to the portfolio.
Charles Pack, Technical Director, CSX Technology IOUG, NFOUG

What Big Data Means for Oracle Business Intelligence
Technologies such as Hadoop are enabling companies to store all kinds of structured and unstructured data. However, being able to warehouse Big Data and being able to turn it into something useful and real time are not one and the same. Combining this massive source of information with sophisticated machine learning and natural language programming algorithms allows data professionals to cleanse, enrich, and publish their data into useful data streams, ready for further discovery, analysis, and reporting. Can your data warehouse do this?
Join IOUG’s top BI experts to discover how to evolve your data warehousing and analytics strategies by taking advantage of modern Big Data concepts to produce actionable, business-critical analytics.

CLOSING KEYNOTE - Disruption at the Speed of Data
4:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
During the conference, we've heard about the challenges Big Data, smaller data, and open data pose for businesses, government, and organizations. Technologies such as Hadoop, machine learning, query languages, Apache Spark, data lakes, the IoT, virtualization, and the cloud hold promise but also carry the possibility of disruption. Creating a strategy that acknowledges changes in the world around us, not just the technology, requires an understanding of business disruption, capability by design, and a platform of speed. O'Brien talks about the new mindset regarding data necessary to take advantage of the technologies, techniques, and business processes required to capitalize on these innovations and reach its full potential. His keynote puts this all in perspective to encourage action. Everyone attending the closing keynote receives a copy of the “Data Lakes Adoption and Maturity Survey Findings Report” and is entered into a drawing to win an Apple iPad Pro. One winner will be announced at the conclusion of the event and must be present to win.

C201: Utilizing Hadoop Data Warehouse in Oracle BI Architecture
10:45 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.
In the new era of Big Data, more companies are looking at HDFS as a solution to data storage and management. IT companies such as Hortonworks and Cloudera are packaging up the toolsets in order to provide solutions to the limitations that have previously prevented Hadoop from becoming the replacement for traditional data warehousing. OBIA and BDD have capabilities to display data for analysis directly from HDFS, and ODI has built-in Knowledge Modules to HDFS. With more organizations moving to HDFS, Oracle can leverage BI in a Big Data infrastructure framework.

Understanding the truth behind the marketing hype is the first step in helping you decide which database is suitable for your organization.
Liwen Yeow, WW DB2-SAP Technical Sales Manager, IBM
George Baklarz, Program Director, coreDB Technical Sales Support, IBM
C203: Modern Data Architecture
2:00 p.m. - 2:45 p.m.
The lifecycle of data remains constant, but the speed, variety, and technology has advanced. Governance principles matter for finance, and are adapted to handle customer and operational content. The changing business environment requires companies to put more sophisticated reporting and analytics platforms in place to accommodate the increased amount of data and information available from a variety of sources. The explosion of not only the amount of data available to us but the amount of data that we need to explore and analyze to meet our business needs has quickly passed the capacity of traditional legacy tools and technologies—particularly ETL and Data Warehousing platforms. There are so many elements to consider, and no pre-written playbook to follow. But there are more best practices being recognized every day, and value realized by those organizations that are moving boldly ahead with a modern data architecture, including data discovery and data governance. Learn from actual use cases how companies have leveraged data discovery through big data lakes to reduce costs, to improve customer satisfaction, to create new revenue streams. If you are hoping to unlock the power of big data in your organization this is a must-attend session.
