Businesses are finally getting serious about Big Data, according to Rishi Yadav, CEO of InfoObjects, Inc., who spoke to the theCUBE, SiliconANGLE’s Media team, at Hadoop Summit 2015. InfoObjects is optimizing systems so that all data sources can work in concert to achieve business goals.
“A year or two back, the case was that somebody would build a Hadoop Cluster … and the only thing they would do was use Hadoop as a silo in that cluster, and nothing to do with what the rest of the enterprise is doing,” Yadav said. “Now, all the cases I see is the clients come to us and say, we understand that there’s a need to have this one enterprise data hub or data lake, but we want data to come from all the sources there.”
Companies make Big Data more central to their processes
Before, customers were testing whether Hadoop worked or not. Now, they want to see all the data coming from their databases and reports and ensure it all works together, as well as providing real-time updates. “That’s a good thing, because it means clients are actually getting serious about Big Data,” making it more central to their processes, Yadav explained.
“One thing that I hear from a lot of clients, their first pain point is SQL and the old-school joints,” Yadav said. These joints don’t always work together automatically, something many of the big players are working to correct. “All of them have been focusing on that. So I think the Big Data community early on realized the importance of all of these workflows and that you would need a lot of SQL support.”
People are used to working in an SQL environment, so it’s important to make sure they feel comfortable. But, Yadav thinks it’s more about the business case and that the kind of work they want to do can only be done in SQL. He believes SQL isn’t going anywhere.
Lack of trained personnel in the market
One issue in the market is still the lack of trained personnel who can build Big Data architecture. InfoObjects works in training customers, alleviating some of the strain.
“But even then, we are not creating them fast enough,” he reflected. “The need in the market is much, much bigger, and it’s much, much more diverse also.” With data coming from so many sources, market needs are very diverse, and it takes time to train people to work with the technology.
“But I think it’s chicken and egg — the need and then the talent.”
