Dell’s chief architect for big data, Aurelian Dumitru (aka. A.D.) presented a talk at OSCON the week before last with the heady title, “Hadoop – Enterprise Data Warehouse Data Flow Analysis and Optimization.”  The session, which was well attended, explored the integration between Hadoop and the Enterprise Data Warehouse.  AD posted a fairly detailed overview of his session on his blog but if you want a great high level summary, check this out:

Some of the ground AD covers

  • Mapping out the data life cycle: Generate -> Capture -> Store -> Analyze ->Present
  • Where does Hadoop play and where does the data warehouse?  Where do they overlap?
  • Where do BI tools fit into the equation?
