“I don’t think that warehouses are going to go anywhere anytime soon,” Adriana Zubiri, program director of BigData Development at IBM, told theCUBE, SiliconANGLE’s Media team, at Hadoop Summit 2015. “Having the opinion that all the data will move into one place is naïve.”

According to Zubiri, having federation for Big SQL (which makes Big Data SQL accessible) on Hadoop is the big differentiator for business customers, allowing them to access data from multiple data warehouses.

“When you’re querying you don’t want to move the data around; you just want to do the query and let the data live where it is,” Zubiri said.

IBM believes in sharing

“We think that Hadoop is an open-data system where we need to share,” said Zubiri, discussing IBM’s commitment for SQL on Hadoop to be 100 percent open. “We play nice.”
