The Cascading framework enables users to quickly and easily build powerful data processing applications on Apache Hadoop that span ETL, data preparation and analytics with one unified development framework.

The book offers developers, data scientists and system/IT administrators a quick overview on Cascading's streamlined approach to data processing, data filtering and workflow optimization using sample applications based on Java, ANSI SQL, PMML, Scala and Clojure. Thousands of companies such as Etsy, Razorfish, TeleNav and Twitter already use Cascading for business-critical applications.

With "Enterprise Data Workflows with Cascading," readers will learn how to:

• Examine best practices for using data science in enterprise-scale applications
• Use workflows beyond MapReduce to integrate to other frameworks and existing IT systems/tools
• Quickly build and test applications, and instantly deploy them onto Apache Hadoop
• Easily discover, model and analyze both unstructured and semi-structured data

About the Author
Paco Nathan is director of data science at Concurrent, Inc., where he leads the company's developer outreach program. He has a dual background from Stanford in mathematics and statistics, and distributed computing. With more than 25 years experience in the technology industry, Nathan is an expert in Hadoop, R, predictive analytics, machine learning and natural language processing.

This book release comes on the heels of Concurrent's recent announcement of Pattern, a free, open source, standard-based scoring engine, built on Cascading, that enables analysts and data scientists to quickly deploy machine-learning applications on Apache Hadoop. Cascading provides the most comprehensive application framework for Hadoop. With the addition of Lingual (ANSI SQL) and Pattern (PMML), Cascading bridges the gap and allows enterprises to use existing skills and systems to easily develop and deploy robust applications on Hadoop. The combination of the three (Java, SQL, PMML) completes the application ensemble.
