Data technologies are changing at an ever-increasing pace. Ray Kurzweil (futurist) talks about "The Law of Accelerating Returns", suggesting that the rate of change in many systems increases exponentially. This is true for data technologies. This talk will help you:

- Categorize emerging data technologies
- Help define/refine your evaluation criteria

This is a loose survey of interesting data trends with analysis on fit:

- Discussion of "caching" in relation to evolving data technologies
- Transactional optimizations vs Analytic optimizations
- Conditional performance of specific ingredients as evaluation criteria
- Point solutions vs General solutions, and understanding criteria specific to you
- The trap of linear scaling

Abbreviated topic list: columnar, in-memory, vector, GPU, LSM-Trees, Hadoop, Impala, Apache Arrow, open source DBs, closed source DBs.
