I'm curious what technology they are using to power it. According to the website, the technology described seems very similar to what Cloudera recently open sourced (Impala), which sits along side Hadoop allowing ad-hoc MPP style querying o

I can't say for sure, but I believe Doug Cutting's Trevni format is already in the beta but it's a slow version. Impala is initially focusing on architecture, I'm sure columnar format will have attention eventually. https://github.com/cutt

You're right that the data is still stored in HDFS, and you can access the data that was originally accessed in Hive. However, because of the way Impala works, it does in fact provide a real-time query interface for data that is sitting in

Correct, the technology is based on Google Dremel.

Yes, it will be interesting. HBase has a larger community and user base, which will surely help in its adoption. Accumulo & HBase have very similar architectures and purposes, so much that the NSA caught a little heat from the Senate (

I think that Scala's doc website is actually pretty nice. http://docs.scala-lang.org/ With that being said, I agree with the others...I prefer a simple and easy layout like Go's website over some pretty typography and new hip layout. Most

Absolutely, I agree with you 100%. This was a quick hack I had to do because of short notice trip. I wanted to be able to detect the amount of gas being released, but I had no time :(.

I did something similar, but with just a webcam and a laptop, and instead of beer it was mead. Basically, I pointed the webcam at the air lock, which produced a bubble every 15-30 seconds (depending on the fermentation process). I wrote a s

HBase guy chiming in. Sharding in HBase is a bit different than the other NoSQL guys. HBase is super fast when doing random lookups and scans, so the developer is in complete control of his failure or success, depending on the row key desig

I work regularly with Hadoop users and I there is rarely talks of "shortcomings" of Hadoop. More often than not, rather than Hadoop not giving enough to the user, the user is not giving enough to Hadoop. Once users start understanding the p

I wouldn't think of Hadoop being a "specific use case", because it's really just a platform that you design around. Of course, everything needs a use case, but Hadoop's place in the industry is not nearly as linear as people think it is. Th

Depending on your application and how you're taking advantage of your database, you could drop-in replace a database. For example, people using some sort of abstraction on top of their database (an ORM) often switch between databases. With

As someone has mentioned, Cassandra is able to be strongly consistent at the cost of a pretty significant performance cut. I am curious just how significant this performance cut would be to get consistency at the level of something like Dyn

Did you guys investigate any other choices such as DynamoDB, or HBase? I know that Facebook (inventors of Cassandra) have moved off of Cassandra over to HBase for its back-end messaging services due to its inherent consistency problems.

Just because Google is no longer using something doesn't mean it's no longer useful for other companies. Most companies will never need to do the same level of computation that Google needs to do. The fact is, Hadoop is becoming more and mo

People who are in the industry realize that words like "Big Data" and "Cloud" are usually buzz words. People who use the technology on a day to day basis appreciate it for what it is, and don't really try to embellish beyond that, and I wor
