Yesterday, my article on Microsoft’s forays into the world of big data went up on Cloud Pro<\/a>. It’s been fun learning a bit about the subject (far more than is in that article – because big data is a big theme in my work at the moment) and I wanted to share some more info that didn’t fit into my\u00a0allotted\u00a01000 words.<\/p>\n

Microsoft Fellow Dr David DeWitt<\/a>\u00a0gave an excellent keynote on Day 3 of the SQL PASS<\/a> 2011 summit last month and it’s a great overview of how Hadoop works. Of course, he has a bias towards use of RDBMS systems but the video is well worth watching<\/a>\u00a0for it’s introduction to NoSQL, the differences between key value stores and Hadoop-type systems, and the description of the Hadoop components and how they fit together\u00a0(skip the first 18 minutes and, if the stream doesn’t work, try the download<\/a>\u00a0– the deck is available too<\/a>). Grant Fritchey<\/a>\u00a0and Jen McCown<\/a>\u00a0have written some great notes to go with Dr DeWitt’s keynote too. \u00a0For\u00a0more about when you might use Hadoop, Jeremiah Peschka has a good post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Microsoft’s SQOOP implementation is not the first – Cloudera have been integrating SQL and Hadoop for a couple of years now<\/a>. Meanwhile, Buck Woody has a great overview of Microsoft’s efforts in the big data space<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I also mentioned Microsoft StreamInsight (formerly code-named “Austin”) in the post (the Complex Event Processing capability inside SQL Server 2008 R2) and Microsoft’s StreamInsight Team has posted what they call “the basics” of event processing<\/a>. It seems to require coding, but is probably useful to anyone who is getting started with this stuff. For those of us who are a little less code-oriented, Andrew Fryer’s overview of StreamInsight<\/a>\u00a0(together with a more general post on CEP<\/a>) is worth a read, together with Simon Munro’s post on where StreamInsight fits in<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Shortly after I sent my article to Cloud Pro’s Editor, I saw\u00a0Mike Walsh’s “Microsoft Loves Your Big Data” post<\/a>. I like this because it cuts through the press announcements and talks about what is really going on: interoperability; and becoming a player themselves. Critically:<\/p>\n

“They aren\u2019t copying, or borrowing or trying to redo… they are embracing”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And that is what I really think makes a refreshing change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
