I know this answer comes late as I was on vacation, sorry about that.
At this time the cluster is not ready to be accessed by users not in the analytics team as things are still WIP. Now, in order to get the data you rae interested in you can always ask the research team to retrieve it for you (this is what we did for our pilot, actually).
Please e-mail: analytics@lists.wikimedia.org and let us know what you are interested in.

Nuria and Andrew,
Forwarding a question from Han-teng below.
Pine Dear Pine,
A humorous touch here in your most recent email: "*A $1 fine will be imposed by Oliver Keyes on anyone who misspells Leila's name or misdirects emails to the WMF Executive Director."
I have one slightly more serious question, on the possibility to use the analytics infrastructure for the upcoming Hackathon.
My Hackathon wish is to duplicate and reapply what Nuria Ruiz and Andrew Otto has done for NARA analytics pilot. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:GLAMwiki_Toolset_Project/NARA_ana...
So to your knowledge, is it feasible to do so, in terms of (a) setting up basic access for other users to duplicate the pilot, (b) getting some help from Ruiz and/or Otto, and (c) setting up for other GLAM institution that is not NARA.
Feel free to forward this email to Nuria Ruiz and/or Andrew Otto because I do not have their contacts.
Best,
-- han-teng liao

More information about the tech talk:
*Hadoop and Beyond. An overview of Analytics infrastructure*In this
tech
talk we will be presenting the analytics infrastructure that we have recently rolled out in production. By now probably everybody knows that wikimedia hosts an instance of hadoop from which we are going to
extract
pageview data in the near future. But .. how exactly does the data get there?
We will go over the path that webrequest log data takes from varnish to kafka (a distributed log buffer) to hadoop and the challenges of
deploying
this java-based infrastructure in production. We will also talk about
how
can we query the data with hive, an SQL-like interface. How can you
set up
this stack on vagrant to play with and, last but not least, how we used hive recently to provide GLAM folks with image view stats:
