Nick Burch - How Big is Big : Tall, Grande, Venti Data

Apache has a wide range of Big Data projects, some suitable for smaller problem sets, some which scale to huge problems. Today though, that one label "Big Data" can cause confusion for new users, as they may struggle to pick the right project for the right scale for their problem.

Do we need new titles for different kinds of Big Data? Does the buzz and VC funding cause confusion? Is the humble requirement dead? Or can we help new users better find the right Apache project for them?
