Very curious to understand more about these mythical developers who are recommending a technology/paradigm that stopped being used a decade ago.

You've seen people writing pages and pages of Java code to do ETL ?

I worked for a large multinational last year that had multiple teams rolling out terrible Hadoop solutions.

The rest of the world does not particularly care about SV fashion trends.

I'm very curious to know where you got this strange notion that MapReduce is "a technology/paradigm that stopped being used a decade ago". I barely knew what MapReduce was in 2010, and didn't touch my first Hadoop cluster until late 2012. Every place I have worked since has had a Hadoop cluster or two.

I'm on a team of a Fortune500 who uses a combination of Java and C# to do ETL. AMA.

Edit: We're also a fairly greenfield team, with a product in beta that's less than 4 years old. So like, the leaders of the team knowingly crafted us in this particular direction.
