Uber's Big Data Platform: 100+ Petabytes with Minute Latency | Uber Engineering Blog

Interesting reading but what I find disconcerting is that the step to 100's of PB's does NOT involve Vertica - the third generation. (At least I can't discover it in the diagrams for the third generation). Have we missed the boat? How do we get back on the diagram?

I attended (i.e. booth duty) the Tableau conference in New Orleans last month. While there a gentleman came up to the booth to discuss Vertica. One of his questions was about that engineering blog post! He wanted to know why Uber wasn't going to use Vertica in its "Generation 3" solution! I was caught off guard by that and assured him that Uber is still using Vertica extensively. Anyway, point is, looks like we are going to be asked about this in the field, so is the best reply simply "Uber is still using Vertica extensively!"? Maybe we need to come up with a better unified response to that question, and to @RonaldRong's point, how to we get back on that diagram???
