For fast, interactive Hadoop queries, Drill may be the answer
Drill is Apache’s Dremel. In the era of big data, there is increasing demand for ever-faster ways to analyze — preferably in an interactive way — information sitting in Hadoop.

Realtime Scalable NoSQL with Yahoo! S4
There’s movement in the realtime NoSQL world. As GigaOm reports in Yahoo Open-Sources Real-Time MapReduce, Yahoo! is the first to release a large scale implementation of a more realtime oriented NoSQL system (don’t think it’s Hadoop or even MapReduce based), which will allow to query data pretty much as it’s added to the system. Or…

Why There Won’t Be a LAMP For Big Data
Stephen O’Grady puts some thoughts into words in Why There Won’t Be a LAMP For Big Data that I also had when reading Edd Dumbill’s The SMAQ stack for big data (Storage, MapReduce and Query). It is not clear to me that we will have, at any point in the future, a LAMP equivalent for…

Does anybody remember as far back as two months ago? That’s when I asked All these connectors being announced makes me think there’s somebody out there with a matrix of RDBMS and NoSQL systems, looking at which combinations don’t have a marketable connector yet so he can be first to market.
