MapR delivers on the promise of Hadoop with a proven, enterprise-grade platform that supports a broad set of mission-critical and real-time production uses. MapR brings unprecedented dependability, ease-of-use and world-record speed to Hadoop, NoSQL, database and streaming applications in one unified distribution for Hadoop.
MapR is a Hadoop distirbution focussed on delivering an enterprise grade big data platform that supports mission critical and real time use cases
What is the source of this data growth? While structured data growth has been relatively modest, the growth in unstructured data has been exponential.

The database/datastore landscape is evolving to meet the new requirements. 2009 was the inflection point. NoSchema systems in which applications control structure. Developers are being empowered and they are voting for the agility offered by these systems.
In the early days if this revolution we sacrificed the query language, and we eliminated the ability to leverage the knowledge and tools available to millions of people. We’re changing that by a distributed SQL engine. But when we do that, we have to keep in mind that this transition to a NoSchema world happened for a reason, and we don’t want to reintroduce the centralized, DBA-managed schema.

IT-driven = months of delay, unnecessary work (data is no longer relevant, etc.). The so-what needs to be conveyed. Why does it matter that it’s not needed.
6 months -> 3 months -> 3 months -> day zero, So imagine now what you can get…
Data Agility is needed for Business Agility

All SQL engines (traditional or SQL-on-Hadoop) view tables as spreadsheet-like data structures with rows and columns. All records have the same structure, and there is no support for nested data or repeating fields. Drill views tables conceptually as collections of JSON (with additional types) documents. Each record can have a different structure (hence, schema-less). This is revolutionary and has never been done before.
If you consider the four data models shown in the 2x2, all models can be represented by the complex, no schema model (JSON) because it is the most flexible. However, no other data model can be represented by the flat, fixed schema model. Therefore, when using any SQL engine except Drill, the data has to be transformed before it can be available to queries.
