Upmodded, but I chuckled when I read their first item where they take an obviously relational data problem then observe that you should use a relational database instead of MapReduce for it. From that, they claim RDBM is better.
- ntoshev 19y agoI believe BigTable implements the kind of indexing they like. Re the point of scalability; while we don't really know how well MapReduce scales, usage at Google provides good hints that it does so well. Further, I don't think relational databases scale linearly either, and it is notoriously difficult to implement large DB clusters.
