Thoughts from the Wet Coast
The musings of an ASP.NET Developer from Canada's We(s)t Coast

BigData – it seems to be a technology area that is in vogue.  It encompasses technologies such as Hadoop, Hive, Pig and Sqoop – yes they all seem to have funny names. 

Every quarter, in the Engineering dept. at DNN Corp, we have quarterly reviews where we review with our manager the previous quarter’s objectives and establish objectives for the upcoming quarter.  At the beginning of this year one of my objectives was to become more familiar with these BigData technologies and determine which if any we need to be aware of.

About 18 months ago I started a series on NoSQL Databases.  I haven’t blogged much on them for about a year, but recently I have been reading quite a lot recently about Big Data and NoSQL and my intentions is to continue blogging as I learn.
