The ongoing disruption to critical supply chains in both the manufacturing and retail space has seen businesses having to respond quickly, turning to data, analytics, and new technologies to better predict and manage ‘real-time’ business disruptions.

The heat of summer and the smell of fresh-cut grass triggers many memories. I feel a sense of yearning from those memories, particularly as I know, during normal times, the college football season has begun. It’s been many years – too many to mention here – since I last played. The sense of anticipation persists, as it is this time of year the team would gather for camp.

The first thing we saw was that a lot of crime went down. This chart shows crime rates in Chicago over the past two years.

The decision tree algorithm - used within an ensemble method like the random forest - is one of the most widely used machine learning algorithms in real production settings.

This blog post will present a simple “hello world” kind of example on how to get data that is stored in S3 indexed and served by an Apache Solr service hosted in a Data Discovery and Exploration cluster in CDP. For the curious: DDE is a pre-templeted Solr-optimized cluster deployment option in CDP, and recently released in tech preview. We will only cover AWS and S3 environments in this blog.
