title: POC for Hadoop in real time scenario
body: <p>I have a bit of a problem. I want to learn about Hadoop and how I might use it to handle data streams in real time. As such I want to build a <strong>meaningful POC</strong> around it so that I can showcase it when I have to prove my knowledge of it in front of some potential employer or to introduce it in my present firm. </p>
  
  <p>I'd also want to mention that I am limited in hardware resources. Just my laptop and me :)  I know the basics of Hadoop and have written 2-3 basic MR jobs. I want to do something more meaningful or real world.</p>
  
  <p>Please suggest.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
