massive is an understatement. I have only dealt with puny GB sized data sets. They deal with vectors which cannot fit into main memory.

Yes, in general what they refer to are things like the IRS Tax records (250 TB), Yahoo Ad data (900 TB). You just can't use a single machine to work with such data.
