Today, we live in the world of Big Data. Hadoop and MapReduce are highly dominant in the domain of large scale data processing. However, the MapReduce model shows its limits for various types of treatment, especially for highly iterative algorithms frequently encountered in the field of Machine Learning.

Spark is an in-memory data processing framework that, unlike Hadoop, provides interactive and real-time…

Speaker: Oliver Gierke Slides: http://www.slideshare.net/SpringCentral/whats-new-in-spring-data-53300373 A year has passed and the Spring Data shipped two release train iterations packed with interesting features. This talk will give a broad overview of the most important introduced in the Fowler and Gosling release trains. We will cover recent additions and improvements in Spring Data Commons - the module that's shared amongst the store specific ones.

On behalf of the Spring Integration team I’m happy to announce the First Milestone of the Spring Integration 4.3 release.

4.3 is planned to be only a minor release with a few new features and improvements over 4.2 and will close out the 4.x line. Meanwhile we are looking forward to embrace the Reactive Foundation for the JVM in Spring Integration 5.0. We have yet to determine exactly what that means, so stay tuned! In addition, 5.0 (2017) will include the (currently separate) Spring Integration Java DSL.

We plan on finalizing 4.3 over the next few months before switching our attention full-time to 5.0 so, if there is some must have feature you need before next year…
