We had been using hadoop+hive+mr to run targetting expressions over billions of time series events from users.

But we have recently moved a lot back to mysql+tokudb+sql which can compress the data well and keep it to just a few terrabytes.

Seems we weren't big data enough and we were tired of the execution times, although impala and fb's newly released presto might also have fitted.

Add: down voters can explain their problem with this data point?
