We use hadoop, cassandra, and redis in production. I've never found Information Week to be a high quality source of information, and unfortunately this is no exception. Data systems almost always rely on being in segmented and protected portions of a network with access being controlled by applications and firewalls. Overall this article struck me as having an axe to grind. I wouldn't put, SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL or any other database on the web with open access. Just like we don't do that with any of our NoSQL solutions. Generally, I've found that security granularity is not as robust in the newer Big Data tools, but that was the same argument against MySQL and Postgres a decade ago. * Edit: Since we are playing on names, apparently Information Week = Information Weak.
