Next Hadoop confirms data as a platform | Business Intelligence - InfoWorld

I just finished reading this brief article and was quite interested in the implications of Hadoop maturing into a platform for data driven applications.

This expansion was compared to an operating system.  While I can't quite see that analogy all the way through, I do see the strategic impact of being able to build big data applications against a Hadoop framework.

This type of expansion could free software developers to concentrate on the more front-end, user facing aspects of application features.  Something I have long thought would be a significant challenge.
