TF;DV ("Too Flakey; Didn't View") version:

After an intro ad, Stonebreaker gives the semi-common "3 V's" definition of big data of "volume, velocity, variety" popularized by META/Gartner [0]. And then he talks briefly about using big data for integration from many data sources, and then he concludes by relaying the interest that the Miller Beer company expressed in knowing the relationship between El Nino / temperature / precipitation and sales of beer.
