Topic: SQL Access to HDFS Data

Discussion/presentation of Hive and BigSQL.

Big SQL doesn't turn Hadoop into one big distributed relational database. If you're curious about what Big SQL can do, we'll explore the basics here, try to clear up some common misconceptions, and answer many of the questions that relational DBMS users often have about this new technology.

We'll also discuss Hive - the "SQL-like" capability that is part of Hadoop.
