NoSQL: The Good, the Bad and the UglyThe impact that NoSQL has had on the technology community cannot be overstated. The proliferation of new and exciting data systems has led to a slew of interesting solutions to problems that were once solved the relational way. In this session we explore all that is great and good about NoSQL: the innovative software, the clever storage paradigms and the reigniting of developer interest in data access. It is unfortunate that NoSQL is not only a force for good in our community. We'll explore some of the darker corners of NoSQL: the disregard for years of proven technology, the overbearing hype, the overblown marketing and the ever present arguments over which technology is best. We close the session by exploring what can be done to extract even more value from the NoSQL movement, where we can improve how the community interacts with the larger technology community and what the future holds for data access technologies.

MythBusters: ORMs and NoSQL - Good or Evil?Want to understand what persistence to NoSQL means in a Java architecture? Read on.Java is an object oriented kingdom where ORMs have flourished. Do ORMs still provide benefits in a NoSQL and polyglot era? As a side effect we will discuss the why and how of data design in NoSQL.Busted, plausible or confirmed? Here is a list of non exclusive myths and preconceptions we will explore:Once you have chosen a NoSQL product, you don't need any other.NoSQL is a data duplication nightmare.JPA is not suited to non relational databases.Objects don't fit in the data structures of NoSQL solutions.ORMs cannot abstract the underlying NoSQL models.ORMs speeds things up at runtime.The query language of NoSQL cannot be abstracted.You need access to the native API to make real use of NoSQL.ORMs don’t bring much value in an NoSQL world.And more.While we can't do explosions experiments due to fire safety regulations, your vocal contribution is encouraged. Come and debate!Note: we mention ORMs but it should really be OXMs or ONMs :)

Outside of the “tech world”, Gregory loves to play volley-ball, and most of all, listen to music (no, not ONLY metal !)Abstract:
Druid at CriteoHow do you monitor performance for one of your clients on a specific user segmentation when dealing with billions of events a day ? With over 2 billion ads served and 230Tb of data processed a day, we at Criteo have a comprehensive need for an interactive analytics stack. And by interactive, we mean a querying system with dynamic filtering to drill down over multiple dimensions, answering within sub-second latency. This session will take you on our journey with Druid, ""an open-source data store designed for real-time exploratory analytics on large data sets"". We will explore Druid's architecture and noticeable concepts, how relevant they are for some use cases and how it really performs.

Julian Steiner ()
Abstract:
Why postgres SQL deserve noSQL fan respectPostgres SQL is a plain old SQL DB. Very powerful and very consistent, in some case, project needs an ACID database, but schemaless… With JSON support, postgres is a very interesting tool to provide ACID and some very interesting function (time management, localisation function and data types...) and the schemaless noSQL point of view with json and indexed json. This talk show some great usage and some insigth to build some great application with postgres.
Lucian Precup (Adelean)
Lucian acquired, throughout his missions, a fair amount of experience with NoSQL and Enterprise Search. He shares this knowledge in barcamps, user groups and conferences in Europe. Adelean, the company Lucian founded in 2010, is one of the first Elasticsearch Systems Integrator Partners in France. Prior to this, Lucian developed real time data integration software at Business Objects and SAP. He joined the BI software editor following the acquisition of a startup issued from the French National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control (INRIA) with a team or researchers he integrated in 2001.Abstract:
Back to the Future: SQL 92 for Elasticsearch?What if we would try to make Elasticsearch SQL 92 compliant (http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~shadow/sql/sql1992.txt)? This wouldn't serve that much nowadays, you would say. Well, we actually tried to do the exercise and we have some interesting conclusions. While we take Elasticsearch as an example for this "side by side", the issues we are addressing also apply to nosql in general. With this unusual exercise, we take the occasion to compare relational databases / sql with Elasticsearch / nosql on all the levels : functionality, semantics, performance and user experience.
Michael Hackstein (ArangoDB)
Michael is a JavaScript and NoSQL enthusiast. In his spare time he is organising colognejs, the JavaScript user group in Cologne Germany scheduled every second month. In his professional life Michael holds a master degree in Computer Science. As Front End and Graph Specialist he is member of the ArangoDB core team, developing the web frontend, graph visualisation and graph database features for this project.Abstract:
Polyglot Persistence & Multi-Model NoSQL DatabasesIn many modern applications the database side is realized using polyglot persistence – store each data format (graphs, documents, etc.) in an appropriate separate database. This approach yields several benefits, databases are optimized for their specific duty, however there are also drawbacks: * keep all databases in sync * queries might require data from several databases * experts needed for all used systems A multi-model database is not restricted to one data format, but can cope with several of them. In this talk i will present how a multi-model database can be used in a polyglot persistence setup and how it will reduce the effort drastically.
