I write a lot about Hadoop, for the obvious reason that it's the biggest thing going on right now. Last year everyone was talking about it -- and this year everyone is rolling it out.
Some are still in the installation and deployment phase. Some are in the early implementation phases. Some have already used it to tackle real and previously intractable business problems. But trust me, Hadoop is the hottest ticket in town.
Hadoop and the techniques surrounding it are a bit complicated. The complexity doesn't come from mathematics or even computing theories -- much of it is the nature of the beast. There are so many technologies and components to choose from, often with overlapping capabilities, that it's hard to decide what to use to solve which problems.
