Oracle Connects Big Data to Medium and Small Data

With the announcement of the Oracle Big Data Appliance, Oracle also comes up with some really cool technology stack which is being termed as Oracle Big Data Connectors (OBDC). This piece of software can be used with both Oracle Big Data Appliance and other Apache Hadoop-based systems.

Among other things in OBDC, There is this Oracle Loader for Hadoop which uses MapReduce processing to load data efficiently into Oracle Database 11g and speeds up the loading by using the Oracle’s internal formats. This should be the big incentive and relief and a very solid business rationale for the decision makers to try out No SQL technology with their existing infrastructure.

The main reason of fast adoption of Exadata (Medium data)  in the businesses is it’s ease and speed by which it gets connected to the OLTP (Small Data). Both of them run the same Oracle 11g. Now with these connectors, its’ easy to integrate the NoSQL (Big Data) with these small and medium data sources.

Integration with scalability and interoperability are the keywords here.

  1. It is exciting to see Oracle embrace Hadoop. But people interested in the data loaders should know that Quest has been providing a high-speed BIDIRECTIONAL data loader for Hadoop and Oracle for more than a year now. And it's free, where the Oracle data loaders are apparently $2,000 per server processor. The Oracle only takes data out of Hadoop, the Quest loader can move data from Oracle into Hadoop and also from a HIVE query into Oracle.
