It's definitely a resume builder. The "Teradata" on my resume has sort of gone out of style. Other than cost, though, I've really not run into a practical situation where Hadoop would help me with something that Teradata wouldn't do. I work for large companies that can generally afford Teradata and to scale it as needed (Teradata is awesome when you need to scale easily), so my professional Hadoop experience is near zero. I read the link and agree with most of it. All except for when he gets to the 5TB part, but I get that it was written in 2013 and probably not to a fortune 500 audience. If Teradata Cloud could get a reasonably priced entry level tier going, I think they'd be talked about a bit more.
