It's amazing how impressive you can look rescuing someone from a "big data" quagmire by just loading that CSV file into a halfway decent RDBMS and letting a simple SELECT statement spin away from a couple tens of μs. Not that I've got anything against container ships, mind you, it's just that I find they're a rather unwieldy vehicle to use for getting groceries home from the market.
