Much ado about Hadoop - is in the air currently. This is a novel way to do analytics - spread the risk of trying to define everything at once, truly agile. At what cost is the question. Technology innovation makes it possible for mom & pop to afford critical analytics - kudos to innovation on the infrastructure layer - to make clustering of nodes to solve your problem efficiently - at the cost of tailored coding at the MR level.
For the ones in the weeds of it, its new. From a larger perspective, its data management in a new infrastructure layer offering. The concepts of models, knowledge management, change management still apply. Oh - I forgot - the roles still matter. Going forward, data management involving Hadoop MR codes, will evolve into managing the MR Code libraries - as those pose quite a bit of rules for Enterprise to manage. Whats our holistic view into the Map-Reduce Codes... and rules embedded inside? Limiting the acknowledgement to the infrastructural gains, with added access to tons of open source statistical excellence is the key.
