  This whole post is based on the assumption that "Splout SQL" is something "novel" and "necessary". To me these are not clear, though.

  I have prototyped some Big Data systems in the past months where we use Sqoop for exporting Hadoop to proprietary SQL databases. So far, so good. I wonder what are the real advantages of using Splout SQL in such cases.
