GSOC: Community Bonding week 1

As the official coding period starts on 30th May 2017, this week was all about preparing the ground for future work.

What I did this week:

• Analyzed the EEG application we are trying to implement using distributed processing tools (Apache Hadoop, Apache Spark)
• Learned basics of EEG data and signal processing (discrete wavelet transforms)
• Created a local testing environment to mimic the production environment (server)
• Further tuned our computing cluster
• Configured Oozie (a workflow manager) to work correctly
• Wrote a quick guide on using Oozie

What I aim to do next week:

• Implement EEG data loading capabilites from Hadoop Distributed file system (currently only normal file system is supported)
• Create a project on git(hub)
• Determine the project structure of the code

Blocks:

• So far none, the infrastructure requirements were fulfilled extremely quickly and that could have been a potential block
