Damn It Feels Good to Code Again!
Current gig allows me the opportunity to get back and do some coding. Currently working on building some continuous monitoring capabilities for a client–new buzzword in the federal cybersecurity space. Meanwhile building a little prototype that will store device configuration data (e.g. software inventory, versions, patches) into HBase and then use MapReduce to calculate counts of devices for each particular configuration. Volume of data can get pretty large if you think about number of apps installed on machine plus patches, times the number of machines in a large enterprise, times how often these checks need to be performed. Good fit for processing using the BigData technologies, plus the structure of the data fits well into the nested key-value-pair structure of HBase.
