  SnapLogic, a provider of application integration software, has introduced a solution aimed at enabling easy connection and reliable large data integration between business applications, cloud services, social media and Hadoop. The product, called SnapReduce, transforms SnapLogic data integration pipelines directly into MapReduce tasks, making Hadoop processing more accessible and resulting in optimal Hadoop cluster utilization.
  SnapReduce harnesses the power, performance and reliability of Hadoop with the ease of connection provided by SnapLogic's services oriented (REST-based) platform and language-neutral data containers - called "Snaps" - to enable scalable, very large data integration for cloud and on-premise business applications.
  According to the vendor, unlike other Hadoop integration solutions that rely on higher-level languages such as Pig and Hive, SnapReduce matches SnapLogic dataflow pipelines directly to equivalent MapReduce jobs resulting in more efficient data processing and pipeline monitoring on Hadoop.
  "This is Hadoop for humans," says Gaurav Dhillon, CEO of SnapLogic. Part of the company's offering is its Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) Snap, designed "to let people get big data in and out of Hadoop, which is kind of a janitorial task that is often ignored by the super-bright computer science crew that built Apache Hadoop," he explains. "A lot of these things are just hard for the average practitioner. They don't have Ph.D.s in computer science. It lets mere humans, the administrator of a database or salesforce or storage network handle large computational problems by using SnapLogic and the power of Apache Hadoop."
  SnapReduce is also engineered to work side by side with applications and tools that process data within Hadoop, such as Pig, Hive, and Flume. This allows SnapReduce to work with existing Hadoop workflows and computations.
  
  Loman learns of Allie's sudden disappearance from Edgefield just as his light-fingered past catches up with him. Meanwhile, in Afbaghistan, Paco Lipsync's hit single is driving the insurgency ballistic. Is this any time for Switzer and Flabbergast to reapply for Hot Zone Club membership? LAST MONTH in ARMY@LOVE:It's official. FLABBERGAST has fallen hard for SWITZER. But when his unit is charged with rooting out insurgents who have commandeered a DaDoingDoings fast food joint, FLABBERGAST's comrades-at arms learn just how hopeless this sudden crush has made him. Back in Edgefield, Switzer's reunion with husband LOMAN turns confrontational when he demands they both lay their cards on the table. SWITZER comes clean about her affair with Flabbergast and the bacchanalian retreats the military has been staging for the troops. Though Loman loves Switzer dearly, he's strangely cool with the new arrangement, and even admits his own affair with Colonel HEALEY'S wife ALLIE. For this wacky post-post-modern couple, confession seems good for the soul. HEALEY, meanwhile, is having his own secret long-running affair with his secretary WOYNER. Outmaneuvered by Stelaphane, who has brought ALLIE to Afbaghistan in a straight jacket, HEALEY suddenly finds himself under suspicion of leaking video of the military orgies to the public. Stelaphane's bizarre truth test proves HEALEY innocent, but he's forced to reveal his ongoing relationship to Afbaghi widow JENAN. But what STELAPHANE's really interested in is reeling in HEALEY's former employer, Polka Cola, as an official sponsor of his Cabinet position. Meanwhile, JENAN'S mother MAI MAU has cut a deal to fence the cell phone that Healey gave them. North Koreenians, competing in the global marketplace, hope to learn a lot about the US military by data mining their quantum encrypted phone network.

  A few years ago, one of my neighbors told me that her favorite flower is hibiscus. We went to a big box garden center, got some tropical hibiscus, and planted them in front of her house. But this photo is not of *those* hibiscus. See, those hibiscus looked beautiful all summer long, but they died over the winter because they were not cold-hardy for our climate. The following summer, while she and her family were away, I surprised her by planting perennial 'Lord Baltimore' hibiscus. This summer they are bigger and more beautiful than ever, just starting to bloom now, and she is so excited to get to enjoy them again. You know what: me too.
