RE: Webcast - Rapid Data Warehouse Development - Build a Pilot in 8 weeks!
Lester, LOL... Seriously, if the hardware was set up, I can set up, configure a cloud w Hadoop,HBase, pig and hive. Then in HBase, determine the tables, column families, etc. Write/use a standard mapper for ingestion, or as a basis for analytic jobs. >From what I have heard pig on HDFS works well, and there are some people who've been doing a lot on it for a couple of years now. The point is that you can roll out systems very quickly once you understand the data, regardless of the tools. 8 weeks is really a long time... ;-) -G > Date: Mon, 18 Jan 2010 20:19:39 -0500 > From: lester@advancedatatools.com > To: im_gumby@hotmail.com > CC: informix-list@iiug.org; waiug-members@iiug.org > Subject: Re: Webcast - Rapid Data Warehouse Development - Build a Pilot in 8 weeks! > > Gumby, > > That is just the hardware and software part for implementing...

I have seen too many people take years to build a data warehouse and then it does not do what users want. Or through together (or rollin) some hardware and software and it does not do what the user want and need. Once you have that done then the implementation with hardware and software is the easy part... > > Regards - Lester > > Ian Michael Gumby wrote: > > But I can build a cluster of Hadoop/HBase machines and set up a DW in > > less than 8 days!
