Big Data with MySQL
Developing Applications
23 April 2:20pm - 3:10pm @ Ballroom B
When we talk about Big Data, we usually think "Hadoop". Hadoop is in fact a great technology to handle Big Data, but MySQL can also be used to manage a vast amount of structured data - that is, "structured Big Data".
In this session we will present how DBAs can use MySQL to handle billions or records, load and retrieve data with performance comparable or superior to commercial DB solutions with 10+ times higher costs. We will analyse how MyISAM, InnoDB, TokuDB and InfiniDB can solve, in different ways, real life problems in a very cost effective way, without the need of a large Hadoop infrastructure. We will see real examples and implementations, as well as comparisons of the various technologies.
