[dba-Tech] Map Reduce to SQL

Hi All:

There have been many companies (and developers) out there who have wanted to
become more serious with Map Reduce or NoSQL databases but the learning
curve has been a challenge.

Now there are starting to emerge a series of products that can help. What if
you could just code in SQL format and the code would be appropriately
translated as to query against a full host of distributive NoSQL DBs. If
you, like I, see this as a good first step towards becoming Map Reduce guru,
check out the following article. Many of the described products are OSS so
even a developer on a budget, can get in the game.
