links:none on file
slides:none on file

Describes a concrete SDA stack: search served by SolrCloud for sub-second queries and near‑real‑time soft commits, bulk processing and storage on Hadoop, user and analytics state in HBase, and machine learning with Mahout (collaborative filtering, clustering, SVD). Notes practical issues: millions of small files, iterative k‑means costs, and missing experiment management. Gives a measured result: daily A/B experiments raised e‑commerce sales ~5–6% in three months. Offers patterns for routing realtime vs batch work and capturing all queries/clicks for modeling.
