Simple Big Data setup on Amazon AWS
Everyone wants to do some big data stuff, right? In all honesty, no-one cares if your data is big or small - size doesn't matter. What matters is your ability to take any size of data and generate understanding from it. At some point the data you are gathering might become inconvenient to process with more traditional tools. It might be that some big data tools might help you - or not. The bottom line is, it is a tool you want to have in your toolbox.
