EDITOR'S NOTE

Good morning,

For those of you coming back from a public holiday, we hope you're feeling refreshed and ready for Hadoop Week!

Amongst our news stories today you'll find a feature story introducing you to Apache Hadoop, the fundamental building block technology for what the marketers like to call 'big data'.

As part of Hadoop Week, we dared IT consultant Dez Blanchfield to build us a Hadoop test-bed that a novice user could set up in under an hour. You can find the results here.

If you'd like to try it for yourself, download and install the software today, and join Dez and I for a one-hour webinar tomorrow at 3pm AEST to show you how to use it.

The week following, we're hosting security gurus to talk about how big data can be used to zero in on security threats.

Stay tuned for a week of Hadoop news and reviews.
