RDBMS to NoSQL - A story about (r)Evolution in Databases

Over the last few days, few of my friends have been asking me about NoSQL and its relevance.  I have been casually trying to answer this, but have always felt that this subject need to elaborated.  Through the slide deck, I have tried to provide a perspective on this subject.

RDBMS to NoSQL. An overview.

Hope it helps.

P.S:  Some of the slides ended up looking very busy. My apologies for that. This is a result of trying to balance between content (without sufficient audio explanations) and managing the size of the deck.

  1. Good 101 on NoSQL!! While we understand the need for nosql, given the constraints for RDBMS, most of us would be skeptical going with nosql for data that needs persistance. In one of your slides you talk about "eventually" data residing in a secured manner. To me that secured manner would still be an RDBMS. It would be great to see an integration of NoSQL with RDBMS. Came across this VoldDB, which claims to be an RDBMS with the speed of a NoSQL. http://www.informationweek.com/news/software/enterprise_apps/231601449

Hadoop Ecosystem A small overview on each is listed below: Data Collection  - Primary objective of these is to move data into a Hadoop cluster Flume : - Apache Flume is a distributed, reliable, and available system for efficiently collecting, aggregating and moving large amounts of log data from many different sources to a centralized data store. Developed by cloudera and currently being incubated at Apache software foundaton. The details about the same can be found here . Scribe : Scribe is a server for aggregating streaming log data. It is designed to scale to a very large number of nodes and be robust to network and node failures. Dveloped by Facebook and can be found here .  Chuckwa : Chuk...

Big Data: Why Traditional Data warehouses fail?

Over the years, have been involved with few of the data warehousing efforts.   As a concept, I believe that having a functional and active data  ware house is essential for an organization. Data warehouses facilitate easy analysis and help analysts in gathering insights about the business.   But my practical experiences suggest that the reality is far from the expectations. Many of the data warehousing initiatives end up as a high  cost, long gestation projects with questionable end results.   I have spoken to few of my associates who are involved in the area and it appears that  quite a few of them share my view. When I query the users and intended users of the data warehouses, I hear issues like: The system is inflexible and is not able to quickly adapt to changing business needs.  By the time, the changes get implemented on the system, the analytical need for which the changes were introduced is no longer relevant. The implementors of...
