Abstract

There are no shortage of systems that claim to help with analysis of large amounts of data. Under the hood, today’s popular systems have a variety of interesting and unique architectures.

As the classic film “Some Like It Hot” famously ends: “Nobody’s Perfect.” In this talk, we’ll reflect on why you can never seem to find that single perfect system, how to think about capabilities of different systems on a spectrum, and what it might take to truly have it all.
