Here are the two BIWA Summit 2016 presentations I delivered today. The first one is a collection of high level thoughts (and opinions) of mine and the 2nd one is more technical:
NB! If you want to move to the "New World" - and benefit from the awesomeness of Hadoop, without having to re-engineer your existing applications - check out Gluent, my new startup that will make history! ;-)
As Gluent is all about gluing together the old world and new world in enterprises, it’s time to announce the Gluent New World webinar series!
The Gluent New World sessions cover the important technical details behind new advancements in enterprise technologies that are arriving into mainstream use.
These seminars help you to stay current with the major technology changes that are inevitably arriving into your company soon (if not already). You can make informed decisions about what to learn next – to still be relevant in your profession also 5 years from now.
Think about software-defined storage, open data formats, cloud processing, in-memory computation, direct attached storage, all-flash and distributed stream processing – and this is just a start!
The speakers of this series are technical experts in their field – able to explain in detail how the technology works internally, which fundamental changes in the technology world have enabled these advancements and why it matters to all of you (not just the Googles and Facebooks out there).
I picked myself as the speaker for the first event in this series:
Gluent New World: In-Memory Processing for Databases
In this session, Tanel Poder will explain how the new CPU cache-efficient data processing methods help to radically speed up data processing workloads – on data stored in RAM and also read from disk! This is a technical session about internal CPU efficiency and cache-friendly data structures, using Oracle Database and Apache Arrow as examples.

Although we are still in stealth mode (kind-of), due to the overwhelming requests for information, we decided to publish a video about what we do :)
It’s a short 5-minute video, just click on the image below or go straight to http://gluent.com:
And this, by the way, is just the beginning.
Gluent is getting close to 20 people now, distributed teams in US and UK – and we are still hiring!

It’s time to announce the 2nd episode of the Gluent New World webinar series!
The Gluent New World webinar series is about modern data management: architectural trends in enterprise IT and technical fundamentals behind them.
GNW02: SQL-on-Hadoop : A bit of History, Current State-of-the-Art, and Looking towards the Future
Speaker:
Time:
Abstract:
Hadoop and NoSQL platforms initially focused on Java developers and slow but massively-scalable MapReduce jobs as an alternative to high-end but limited-scale analytics RDBMS engines. Apache Hive opened-up Hadoop to non-programmers by adding a SQL query engine and relational-style metadata layered over raw HDFS storage, and since then open-source initiatives such as Hive Stinger, Cloudera Impala and Apache Drill along with proprietary solutions from closed-source vendors have extended SQL-on-Hadoop’s capabilities into areas such as low-latency ad-hoc queries, ACID-compliant transactions and schema-less data discovery – at massive scale and with compelling economics.
In this session we’ll focus on technical foundations around SQL-on-Hadoop, first reviewing the basic platform Apache Hive provides and then looking in more detail at how ad-hoc querying, ACID-compliant transactions and data discovery engines work along with more specialised underlying storage that each now work best with – and we’ll take a look to the future to see how SQL querying, data integration and analytics are likely to come together in the next five years to make Hadoop the default platform running mixed old-world/new-world analytics workloads.

Mark Rittman has been publishing his podcast series (Drill to Detail) for a while now and I sat down with him at UKOUG Tech 2016 conference to discuss Gluent and its place in the new world with him.
This podcast episode is about 49 minutes and it explains the reasons why I decided to go on to build Gluent a couple of years ago and where I see the enterprise data world going in the future.
It’s worth listening to, if you are interested in what we are up to at Gluent and hear Mark’s excellent comments about what he sees going on in the modern enterprise world too!

Here’s some more free stuff by Gluent!
We are running another half-day course together with Cloudera, this time in St. Louis on 7. September 2017.
We will use our database background and explain using database professionals terminology why “new world” technologies like Hadoop will take over some parts of the enterprise IT, why are those platforms so much better for advanced analytics over big datasets and how to use the right tool from Hadoop ecosystem for solving the right problem.
More information below. See you there!
Also, Michael Rainey will deliver a SQL-on-Hadoop overview session in Portland, OR on 6. Sep 2017

A lot of people have asked me to do another run of my Advanced Oracle Troubleshooting training or at least get access to previous recordings – so I decided to geek out over the holiday period, update the material with latest stuff and run one more AOT class in 2018!
The online training will take place on 29 January – 2 February 2018 (Part 1) & 26 February – 2 March 2018 (Part 2).
The latest TOC is below:
Seminar registration details:
Just like last time (AOT 2.5 about 2 years ago!), the attendees will get downloadable video recordings after the sessions for personal use! So, no crappy streaming with 14-day expiry date, you can download the video MP4 files straight to your computer or tablet and keep for your use forever!
If you sign up early and can’t wait until end of January, I can send the registered attendees most of the previous AOT 2.5 video recordings upfront, so you’d be ready for action in the live class :)
I also have a Youtube channel (that you may have missed), there are a couple of introductory videos about how I set up my environment & use some key scripts available now:
I plan to start posting some more Oracle/Linux/Hadoop stuff in the Youtube channel, but this is quite likely the last AOT class that I do, so see you soon! ;-)

Update: I unexpectedly ended up falling ill and decided to reschedule this hacking session to January 24, 10am PST. No need to re-register if you already have done so. Sorry for the inconvenience. I will upload the video to Youtube after the event.
Since I’m running my Advanced Oracle Troubleshooting Training in the end of this month, I’ll do one of my “secret” hacking sessions too for promotion and noise-making reasons next week! ;-)
Secret Hacking Session with Tanel Poder: Oracle Background Process Communication, Exotic Wait Events and Some Tracing too
In this session we will look into some internals of Oracle background process communication and also some special types of wait events that most people aren’t aware of. We will use some exotic tracing for internals research and fun and some of this stuff is actually useful in real life too! I’m not going to reveal everything upfront, as this is a secret internals hacking session after all ;-)
We will use various techniques to research what the “reliable message” wait event is about and how reliable background process communication is orchestrated in Oracle.
This is a hacking session, not formal structured training, so I’ll just do free form demos and talk (probably no slides, just hacking stuff on the command line). I will later upload the video to my Youtube channel too – https://youtube.com/TanelPoder
Oh and it’s free!
Date & Time: Wed 24 Jan 10am PST
Location: GotoWebinar
See you soon!
(I said there would probably be no slides, but maybe I’ll still show one or two ;-)
NB! I am running one more Advanced Oracle Troubleshooting training in 2018! You can attend the live online training and can download personal video recordings too. The Part 1 starts on 29th January 2018 - sign up here!
I have uploaded the the video of my Secret Hacking Session: Oracle X$TRACE, Wait Event Internals and Background Process Communication to my Oracle performance & troubleshooting Youtube channel.

This Gluent New World webinar is based on my RAM is the new disk and how to measure its performance article series:
I’m using the Oracle Database In-Memory option as an example here, but the same rules apply to other row & column stores as well.
