Hadoop and the EDW

Cloudera and Teradata have jointly published a nice paper here that presents an interesting perspective of how Hadoop and an EDW play together. Simply put, Hadoop becomes the staging area for “raw data streams” while the EDW stores data from “operational systems”. Hadoop then analyzes the raw data and shares the results with the EDW.

The Five Minute Rule and Teradata Memory Utilization

I have mentioned now and again that Teradata‘s architecture which writes intermediate results to spool violates the Five Minute Rule may be a poor design choice. Let me make this case more clearly. The Five Minute Rule was developed by Gray and Putzolu to determine where the trade-off is between keeping data in-memory and writing [...] Continue reading
