[dba-Tech] NOSQL goes SQL?

Hi Stuart:

At the risk of being repetitious, NoSQL is not trying to replace SQL. The
only reason similar products Map Reduce are around because SQL can not do
the job of managing huge data. 

SQL databases handles up to a million pieces of data while NoSQL databases
handle billions of pieces of data.

Just think if the UI to NoSQL databases was really easy there goes those big
bucks for the techs that manage these ugly monstrosities now get. ;-)

So much for NOSQL being the answer to life, the universe and everything.

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/02/25/hortonworks_stinger/

Hortonworks has unveiled the Stinger Initiative, a project to make Hadoop´s
Hive data 
warehouse friendlier with SQL and faster.
...
 Hadoop is a open-source implementation of Google´s MapReduce and a NoSQL
system.

However, the NoSQL crowds realised they need to make their architectures
work better with 
SQL-like tools used by businesses in the real world.
...
According to Hortonworks, Stinger will make Hive "a more suitable tool for
the decision 
support queries people want to perform on Hadoop".
