Big Data is all about gaining insight from bringing together disparate data streams. Business Intelligence will naturally evolve into big data analytics as new kinds of data get folded into the analysis, and products like Hadoop make a truly comprehensive data warehouse possible for the first time. We'll dig into the main technology choices and changes you'll make in building a BD foundation for BI.
