    Dude, you’re going to shit bricks when you realize most computer science jargon is just marketing buzzwords on top of marketing buzzwords and the terms never meant anything more or less it needed to sell a product.

    For example, what the hell is big data? What is a scripting language? Is your DB web scale?

        datasets large enough that it was impractical to try to store or work with them in a traditional relational database software

        How I remember it is that it’s not even the whole dataset that is too large, but the individual records. Hadoop for example is not doing anything magic, it’s just a software package to extend MySQL to be able to efficiently have pictures (Facebook’s original use case, of course it evolved) as records.

        I guess big data is what you need it to justify what you want to justify. In one of my gigs’ case, it was public funding for a project.
