Berlusconi stepping down. Not clear if his harem...I mean cabinet...will carry him, garbed in his ceremonial toga, on a perfumed sedan chair
Been a fine day so far. Everything spooled out more or less as expected. Glad everybody's getting up to speed on #Hadoop. Complex stuff.
Needles in haystacks. Speaking 2 data mgt pros re what's ailing companies' initiatives, often scores of needles, indistinguishable from hay
Even LoC doesn't know how #bigdata it is (1.usa.gov/sHhgAd). Let's just assume peta now, exa later this decade, zetta next decade
Every tech industry bubble is everybody collectively intuiting some fundamental new pattern & stoking each other 2 place bigger bets. Boom!
Work email down. Everybody who needs to send me urgent email, try me at jkobielus @ gmail.com
@mgualtieri Shutdown social media during civil unrest? Makes lotsa sense. Massive unruly crowds cant possibly spontaneously "occupy" streets
See #Forrester @VanessaAlvarez1 "Big Data Needs More Than Just Big Storage" (bit.ly/tIBcsO). Costly storage limits #BigData potential
This #hw11 seems to be #HBase coming-out party. Notice the range of vendors with #Hbase -centric offerings.

Those "promoted tweets" are starting to annoy me in TweetDeck. I can't banish them from tops of hashtagged columns. Out, out, damn promos!
@VanessaAlvarez1 Besides, all my brother & sister analysts, from various firms, doing a fine job of reporting/vetting up close at #hw11
@VanessaAlvarez1 Believe it or not, I often find covering shows at a distance just as productive as in person. Gotta be flexible. Stay sane.
@VanessaAlvarez1 Hey, good stuff all. Irony is I'm putting final touches on #Hadoop Wave & case study docs. Already prebriefed on all news
Waiting for my NDA vendors to go on record at or around #hw11 . Lots of great innovative stuff percolating in #Hadoop arena. Announce please
@TonyBaer #hw2011 #hw2011 #Hadoop expertise is in short supply. I'd be disappointed if VCs don't put $$$ into training & education startups
#Cloudera has the widest range of partners in the #Hadoop space. That's for sure. #hw11 . Partner-focused: just like #Teradata in #EDW arena

By way of context, entire #Hadoop solutions market today has maybe 1% the revenues of the entire #EDW solution market. #hw11
@TonyBaer #hw2011 Hmmm....#Hadoop for in-database analytics executed in parallel against SVOT data store. Something smells very #EDW here
@dmenningervr #HW2011 360-degree view of customer. Hmmm....don't tell me that #Hadoop being used as #EDW. I refuse to believe it.
What's happening in immature #Hadoop market is that vendors are rushing 2 provide repeatable solutions. Right now, every deploy very bespoke
@TonyBaer #hw2011 Purists. Agreed. Remember that every tech- and/or vendor-oriented show is own special reality distortion field. Caveat
@TonyBaer #hw2011 #Hadoop is cloud analytics layer optimizing OLTP for Next Best Action etc. Serious & growing overlap.
@dmenningervr #Hadoop #HW2011 #Hadoop & #RDBMS have already converged in majority of real-time deployments. #Hadoop is #EDW staging layer.
@acmurthy Yes. When you consider that maybe 90% of #Hadoop users still in test/dev, we see huge amounts of data coming online in 2012

In just a few weeks, see how the #Hadoop market actually shakes out, when my #Forrester Wave publishes.
RIP Joe Frazier. Was a formidable foe to Ali. He'll always be compared to Ali, of course. He fought with dignity. Definitely not a bum.
#Hadoop is an architecture at the heart of which is #MapReduce as model execution & abstraction layer. HDFS, HBase, etc are options.
Let's disabuse selves of misconception that there's a discrete platform called "Hadoop" or that HDFS is synonymous w/ #Hadoop.
"Another look at big data" (bit.ly/skgexK) JK--"HBase on top of #Hadoop"? Howard doesnt realize HBase part of Hadoop. On top of self?

Anti-smoking is an entirely distinct issue from anti-food&drink campaigns. Smoke literally fouls the environments of other people's bodies.
Spurlock's anti-fastfood & Pollan's anti-HFCS campaigns feel like overkill. I long ago marginalizd that in my diet 2 "spice of life" status
Michael Pollan's "a desk is not a table " assumes a) you have a table, b) time, & c) lunch so splendid it requires special surface 2 lay out
Michael Pollan's "dont eat anything yr gramma wouldnt recognize as food" assumes gramma actually knew how 2 cook foods that were palatable
