How to Integrate Apache PredictionIO with MapR for Actionable Machine Learning

PredictionIO is an open source machine learning server, and is a recent addition to the Apache family. PredictionIO is bundled with HBase, and is used as event data storage to manage the data infrastructure for machine learning models. In this integration task, we will use MapR-DB within the MapR Converged Data Platform to replace HBase. MapR-DB is implemented directly in the MapR File System. The resulting advantages is that MapR-DB has no intermediate layers when performing operations on data.
