Using Scalding for Data Driven Product Development at LinkedIn
This document discusses using Scalding, which combines Scala and Hadoop, for data-driven product development. Scalding provides a domain-specific language for writing MapReduce jobs in Scala that allows processing large datasets in Hadoop. The document describes how LinkedIn uses Scalding for various tasks including processing web and application data at large scales. It highlights benefits like succinct code, abstraction, and running thousands of Scalding jobs successfully in LinkedIn's production environment.
