big data, big data / process indices, my cluster's gotta

Big Data is big.  You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is.  I mean, you may think it's a lot of porn sitting on your laptop, but that's that's just peanuts to Big Data.

The more i learn about Hadoop, the more stunning it is that billion-dollar companies have entrusted their production data to this jury-rigged, half-assed, immature technology.  Desperation is never pretty.
