The amount of data most IT shops are talking about is handlable with SQL and relational databases. However, it starts to break down pretty quickly when you scale up by a factor of 1000 or more (every page on the web… for instance.)

It’s critical to add the capabilities of SQL ontop of processing systems like hadoop and mapreduce. The current systems are still clunky to use and could really improve productivity with another level of indirection so they simulated the already well known semantics of SQL but on a much larger scale.
