Big Data Accelerator
- by Jean-Pierre Dijcks
For everyone who does not regularly listen to earnings calls, Oracle's Q4 call was interesting (as it mostly is). One of the announcements in the call was the Big Data Accelerator from Oracle (Seeking Alpha link here - slightly tweaked for correctness shown below):
"The big data accelerator includes some of the standard open source software, HDFS, the file system and a number of other pieces, but
also some Oracle components that we think can dramatically speed up the
entire map-reduce process. And will be particularly attractive to
Java programmers [...]. There
are some interesting applications they do, ETL is one. Log processing is
another. We're going to have a lot of those features, functions and
pre-built applications in our big data accelerator."
Not much else we can say right now, more on this (and Big Data in general) at Openworld!
