Does BI have a role against all the types of data that are natural for Hadoop? i.e. how useful is a pie-chart against clickstream, ad impressions or sensor events?

Jeff Kelly
not very ;) need different visualizations for time-series analysis to follow patterns of events

Ben Werther I think you're underestimating what is possible here.

John Furrier
Hadoop is limited from folks we talk to but a big part in certain use cases. small improvement in bus operations yields big value in revenue & business outcomes; faster dynamic BI is the answer; what google did for web pages someone need to do

Very thought provoking question. Seems like BI is evolving so the answer to this might evolve too. Do you think?

John Furrier
What google did for web pages someone needs to do for BI and DW enabling non IT people to be "the next Billy Beane" #moneyball for enterprises

Dan Hushon
interesting BI vs. BA & the evolvement of #Storm I personally think that link analytics becomes increasingly relevant

I'm predicting a big topic at Hadoop World will be the difference between BI and Big Data Analytics. It will be a stark contrast.
In Sik Rhee




in-memory no-sql + analytics is becoming more interesting to BI than Hadoop

Ben Werther That is the key. It is the difference between pretty pictures on the surface VS finding deep facts about the business.

Dan Hushon agree, but does that speak to the deficiency of current state BI?

John Furrier totally agree new sw will emerge fast in this area - big oppty imo

Ben Werther I assumed you meant that in-memory + analytics is more important THAN BI to Hadoop.
In Sik Rhee ... it's a natural middle ground. hadoop is not as well suited for data exploration as it is for operationalizing insights after they've been discovered.

Dan Hushon

I think that we are going to see a ton of link/graph building on hadoop to aid in analytic process... question is one of correlation vs. causality at end of day

Jeff Frick Seems to always boil down to correlation vs causality. Some argue that an overwhelming correlation has the same actionable weight, almost a proxy for causality. Seems dangerous.

Dan Hushon don't know that I'm there jeff, if you're trying to remediate better to treat the cause than the symptom
