Episode 79 - Roaring News - Roaring Elephant

Another Big Data news episode! This time we consider the Big or small nodes conundrum based on an article that after close scrutiny doesn’t really seem to test the real issue. Other things that get covered are Linkedin’s Dynanometer, Cloudera’s full production architecture advise for a recommendation service and a really interesting visualization technique based on blobs.
