Hi! My name is Alonso Roman, I am a Data Engineer, who has been working in the data
world for over 15 years. Some years ago, I started to hear about all this new Big Data thing, lots of
fancy words: Hadoop, Hive, Pig, Mahout, Map Reduce … It takes me a while to put altogether and see
what is all about and start to see why is everyone excited.
I am this kind of persons that need to see to understand, put a picture in my head. I need to see the
why, before I can see the what. It is in the way my brain works, I guess. For those like me,
I have decided to write this blog.
This blog aims to be a diary in which I will write about Big Data from a why perspective.
We have a problem and we see how these new technologies can help us to solve them.
Hope you enjoy this blog as much as I am enjoying writing it.
