Spark: Making Big Data Analytics Interactive and Real-Time by Matei Zaharia. Post from Marti Hearst.
From the post:
Spark is the hot next thing for Hadoop / MapReduce, and yesterday Matei Zaharia, a PhD student in UC Berkeley’s AMP Lab, gave us a terrific lecture about how it works and what’s coming next. The key idea is to make analysis of big data interactive and able to respond in real time. Matei also gave a live demo.

Another great lecture from Marti’s class on Twitter and Big Data.
