After seeing an image at a conference that was so awesome, I felt compelled to recreate it. Sadly the slides were not available, despite the speaker stating that they would be. After having a few emails with latency issues, where the blame was placed on the speaker I figure this is the best way to handle an issue such as this. The Big Data Pocket Knife is the best visual representation that I have seen of how to slice up a problem using a modern tool-set.
