Top 5 Reasons Not to Use Hadoop for Analytics
As a former diehard fan of Hadoop, I LOVED the fact that you can work on up to Petabytes of data. I loved the ability to scale to thousands of nodes to process a large computation job. I loved the ability to store and load data in a very flexible format. In many ways, I loved Hadoop, until I tried to deploy it for analytics. That’s when I became disillusioned with Hadoop (it just "ain't all that"). At Quantivo, we’ve explored many ways to deploy H...
