"Distributed Processing", "Commodity hardware", "Open Source" smack of "This is the solution, now what's the problem."<br /><br />There are some Big Data problems that fit the Exadata model of specialized, closely integrated hardware and proprietary software. Sure it is expensive, but there are very few people who will opt for an expensive solution in preference to an equally capable cheap solution. Which suggests to me that @EscVector's solution is only applicable to a subset of Big Data problems.SydOraclehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08828771074492585943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884584404576003487.post-35166936643033503652011-03-15T09:25:20.720-04:002011-03-15T09:25:20.720-04:00OSCon Data will is about Big Data.

It's about watching and analyzing the flow of statistically relevant data in near real time. It's also about not doing it for millions of dollars.EscVectorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14314875171012421919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884584404576003487.post-24850733345227425852011-03-12T00:55:38.962-05:002011-03-12T00:55:38.962-05:00@gary

As a side thought, Google Search is machine gathered data. GMail will be big on human generated data as well as all that mass generated email. <br /><br />Wonder how much of Big Data is an aggregation of data held elsewhereSydOraclehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08828771074492585943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884584404576003487.post-17607548249167322202011-03-11T11:07:19.570-05:002011-03-11T11:07:19.570-05:00I've got your Big Data right hereI've got your Big Data right hereBradd Piontekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09812125551238871609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884584404576003487.post-65763597283254949612011-03-11T03:11:21.685-05:002011-03-11T03:11:21.685-05:00Hi "Oraclenerd",

And I thought how can a date be "longer"? It's how you define it, but at most 24 hours, 24x60 minutes, ...<br />Or you have to spell out the months like 3 august 2011 in stead of 3/08/11. But I understand that is not what they meant...Martien van den Akkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05183907832966359401noreply@blogger.com
