[dba-Tech] NOSQL goes SQL?

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

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".
