In recent months, I've been hearing about hybrid systems designed to handle different data management needs. At Strata + Hadoop World NYC last week, Cloudera's Todd Lipcon unveiled an open source storage layer — Kudu — that's good at both table scans (analytics) and random access (updates and inserts). During the latest episode of the O'Reilly Data Show Podcast, I sat down with Lipcon to discuss his new project a few weeks before it was released.
