Using Oracle GoldenGate for Trickle-Feeding RDBMS Transactions into Hive and HDFS

A few months ago I wrote a post on the blog around using Apache Flume to trickle-feed log data into HDFS and Hive, using the Rittman Mead website as the source for the log entries. Flume is a good technology to use for this type of capture requirement as it

Analyzing Twitter Data using Datasift, MongoDB, Hive and ODI12c

Last week I posted an article on the blog around analysing Twitter data using Datasift, MongoDB and Pig, where I used the Datasift service to stream tweets about Rittman Mead into a MongoDB NoSQL database, and then queried the dataset using Pig. The context for this is the idea of

Analyzing Twitter Data using Datasift, MongoDB and Pig

If you followed our recent postings on the updated Oracle Information Management Reference Architecture, one of the key concepts we talk about is the “data reservoir”. This is a pool of additional data that you can add to your data warehouse, typically stored on Hadoop or NoSQL databases, where you

Why Oracle Big Data SQL Potentially Solves a Big Issue with Hadoop Security

Oracle announced their Big Data SQL product a couple of weeks ago, which effectively extends Exadata’s query-offloading to Hadoop data sources. I covered the launch a few days afterwards, focusing on how it implements Exadata’s SmartScan on Hive and NoSQL data sources and provides a single metadata catalog

Taking a Look at the New Oracle Big Data SQL

Oracle launched their Oracle Big Data SQL product earlier this week, and it’ll be of interest to anyone who saw our series of posts a few weeks ago about the updated Oracle Information Management Reference Architecture, where Hadoop now sits alongside traditional Oracle data warehouses to provide what’s

Introducing the Updated Oracle / Rittman Mead Information Management Reference Architecture Pt1. - Information Architecture and the "Data Factory"

One of the things at Rittman Mead that we’re really interested in, is the architecture of “information management” systems and how these change over time as thinking, and product capabilities, evolve.

End-to-End ODI12c ETL on Oracle Big Data Appliance Pt.5 : Bulk Unload to Oracle

All week I’ve been looking at what’s involved in moving data around Hadoop on the Oracle Big Data Appliance, using ODI12c to orchestrate the end-to-end process. Using web log data from the Rittman Mead website, I first landed the log data on HDFS using Apache Flume, then transformed
