Beyond Hadoop: Graph Databases for Big Data
Tom's IT Pro
Hadoop and MapReduce are often used to solve big data problems but there are other data analysis models that lend themselves to big data.

Data Science: It's More Than Tools
Tom's IT Pro
When we are working with big data we are actually working on a problem that generates big data. Good data scientists aren’t necessarily an expert in every big data tool out there but they are good at thinking about problems, abstracting away unimportant details, and identifying the key elements of a problem that lend themselves to providing the kind of insight you are looking for.
