Watch LIVE: Spark experts on turning data lakes to gold rivers | #SparkSummit

The data lake analogy leaves us with a deep reservoir of sometimes obscure information, and today’s most powerful computing tools are tasked with balancing information recall and delivery with timeliness and democratic efficiency. For its real-time capabilities, Spark has caught the attention of Big Data warriors and at this week’s Spark Summit East, we seek practitioner specifics on how this Hadoop contemporary turns data lakes not into murkier data swamps, but value-driven rivers of gold.

Spark Summit East 2016 kicked off February 16 at the New York Hilton Midtown, where keynote speakers include Ali Ghodsi, CEO of Databricks; Anjul Bhambhri, VP of product development, Big Data and analytics platform at IBM; Ken Tsai, VP and head of cloud platform and data management, product marketing at SAP; and Seshu Adunuthula, head of analytics infrastructure at eBay.
