Dremel-Based Project Accepted As Apache Incubator 45

itwbennett writes "The technology behind Google's BigQuery analytics as a service is based on the company's in-house ad hoc query system called Dremel that can store and search trillion-row datasets without the complexity and batch limitations of Hadoop. Today, Hadoop vendor MapR announced a new open source iteration of Dremel called Drill, which is now an incubation project with the Apache Softare Foundation. First up for the Apache Drill project: getting a consensus on Drill's APIs so that other vendors can work with it, says project leader Tomer Shiran."

    Not a rotary tool...
    more fun than Big Data?

    Why not? I mean, just think a bit... with a rotary tool and proper attachments, you can...:
    - ...put a spin on the data
    - ...screw it/something/someone - yourself and/or even your customers if so you like
    - ... cut through the crap... or
    - ... spread the $#17 efficiently when it hits (requires the fan attachment)

    Let the list continue.

    I was really looking forward to seeing how they had managed to use a dremel to make birthing aparatus for apache gunships - imagine my dissapointment :(
