A faster, sleeker way to do MySQL?
,----[ Quote ]
| The archetypal MySQL database chugs along in the server room of a Web 2.0
| start-up, powering a small but promising Web site. In fact, a quarter of the
| 12 million MySQL installations are data warehouses doing business
| intelligence and analytics for companies.

Large Data Set Analysis in the Cloud: Hadoop gets a boost
,----[ Quote ]
| Traditional business intelligence solutions can't scale to the degree
| necessary in today's data environment. One solution getting a lot of
| attention recently: Hadoop, an open-source product inspired by Google's
| search architecture. Twenty years ago, most companies' data came from
| fundamental transaction systems: Payroll, ERP, and so on.

Cloudera CEO: Hadoop, Open Source and the Cloud
,----[ Quote ]
| But Cloudera has heavyweight backing. It has raised money from venture
| capital group Accel Partners (though admittedly only a tepid $5 million). And
| its array of additional investors reads like a list of tech glitterati,
| including Marten Mickos, former MySQL CEO, and Diane Green, former VMware
| CEO.

Cloudera floats commercial Hadoop distro
,----[ Quote ]
| The analogy with Linux is plain enough: They want something akin to the
| hardened and slow-changing Red Hat Enterprise Linux, not the Fedora

Hadoop: Funny Name, Powerful Software
,----[ Quote ]
| Doug Cutting was a work-at-home dad plugging away at open source search code
| when he had a light-bulb moment that led him to create Hadoop, an open source
| adaptation of Google's MapReduce. Now, Yahoo is using Hadoop for all kinds of
| high-power computing functions.

Yahoo's Hadoop software transforming the way data is analyzed
,----[ Quote ]
| Cutting, a 44-year-old programmer who had helped build search engines at
| Apple and Excite, had started the search project in 2000 because he wanted
| his code to live on. He knew that closed-source projects, where software is
| treated as a corporate secret, had a way of dying. With open source, the code
| is published and other programmers can contribute suggestions and help fix
| bugs.
