Well written article. I think most people who do not have a background in data are unaware of the various options out there and fall for the marketing behind hadoop like tools.
I would urge people doing analytics to take a look at kdb+ from kx. Unless you have ridiculously large amounts of data(> 200 TB), I can bet that you would be better off with kdb. The only downside is that it costs a lot of money which is a pity.
- pwang 13y agoYou'd have to hire a team of people that can write good K. Since they're so highly in demand in the niche area of finance, you'll be paying a very pretty penny for them.
- deathflute 13y agoI have been part of a team which used kdb heavily and this is not really true. The best part of kdb is that it requires almost no administration and at the end of the day becomes just another programming environment/tool for you to use. Hiring a team of people who just do kdb is only done by banks or other unimaginative large teams.
