 | | Doug Henschen | | | | | Apache's Hadoop framework has become synonymous with the big data movement, but is it destined to become the dominant data management platform for us all?
In our first big data debate, in December, we asked, "Is the end near for data warehousing?" with Hadoop forever changing our notion of the enterprise data warehouse. But with the emergence of several high-profile SQL-on-Hadoop options and projects in recent weeks and months--including Cloudera's Impala, the Apache Drill effort led by MapR, IBM BigSQL, Hortonworks' Stinger project, and EMC's Pivotal Distribution--the question gets bigger, and it's time to revisit this topic.
The supposition is not that Hadoop will totally replace relational databases or other tools. But is Hadoop destined to become the high-scale centerpiece or hub from which most data management activities and analyses will either integrate or originate? Read what two big data experts have to say...

NEWS & ANALYSIS What's On Your Big Data Analytics Wish List? IT's wish list for the next-generation analytics market is long. Most companies still want to see proven analytical tools and methods rather than beta-stage projects. They want easy and familiar SQL or SQL-style analysis, not limited query capabilities and batchy, far-from-real-time performance. Analytics startups are trying to address the shortcomings of emerging big data platforms such as Hadoop. What follows is an interim report on the latest and most-promising efforts to make sense of the data. Big Data's Dark Side The potential upside of big data is significant. Organizations, empowered by the ability to extract actionable insights from massive volumes of digital information from a variety of data sources, can (ideally) make our world a better place. But before we get too dewy-eyed and sentimental, it's important to know that big data has a potential dark side, as well, where governments and corporations use this newfound wealth of information for nefarious purposes. Big Data Strategy Lacking At European Enterprises A scant 7 percent of European organizations today see big data as a priority, but more than 62 percent believe big data will become a priority within three years. That's according to a new survey by Interxion, an Amsterdam-based provider of cloud- and carrier-neutral colocation data center services in Europe, and market research firm Vanson Bourne. When Big Data Meets Legal Discovery Legal hold is a necessary annoyance for corporations, government bureaucracies, and other large organizations. The term refers to the process of preserving all types of data--including documents, email, voicemails, text messages, and even social media posts--that may be relevant in case of legal action. But once an enterprise stockpiles what could amount to tens--or even hundreds--of millions of relevant pieces of information, how can it sift through the data quickly? 10Gen Enterprise Release Takes MongoDB Uptown 10Gen, the company behind the popular open-source MongoDB database, is about to move out of its maxed-out startup headquarters in Manhattan's trendy SoHo neighborhood and into spacious, newly renovated offices just off Times Square. The move is a perfect metaphor for a 10Gen/MongoDB move upscale. With the database gaining adoption among (and features aimed at) large and midsize corporations, the company is moving uptown (literally and figuratively) into more of a corporate neighborhood. | JOIN THE CONVERSATION Posted By cspinner: "In addition to all those reasons stated above on why we like MongoDB, at least for me, it's an open-source project that contributes back to the community, liked so much the one edition approach, enterprises anyways and many small businesses buy support subscriptions to secure their business and, there, different subscriptions make perfect sense. Of course 10Gen needs to sustain itself and keep MongoDB going, I just hope it does not become an Oracle where only sustaining matters. Currently I have the feeling I need to look at the competition more."
