Thanks @scottalanmiller ! What a great resource.

I doubt that they will be making any "visible" Linux products for some time, at the least.

Surprisingly I have not seen anyone talking about Storm previously. It appears to be primarily a replacement for MapReduce and can be used on top of Hadoop which is pretty awesome.

I've been doing a lot of Hadoop work over the years and I know of several other people who work on it too. Including SW, for example. Not just my banking and financial contacts. Hana is making noise but I've not seen it anywhere in the enterprise space yet, though.

That's really interesting, we actually moved over to a derivative of SAP Q1/2012 so I'm a bit of a fanboy of them I think.
