I presented this deck at a bigdata event by businessmeetsit, a Belgian IT networking organisation. The slides briefly report several workshops that we organized in 2012 between Belgium's bigdata community and zimmo.be, a leading real-estate website.
In this first part of this project, we performed an exercise in building a real-estate datastore in HBase, and in the second part we connected to HBase from R to build several predictive and text mining models on this datastore.
