Relational database technologies may have advanced to a point where storing huge amounts of data is no longer a "Big Data problem". Which answer makes the most sense to explain big data?

		"Big Data" has too often defined in terms of critical statements that state complications about handling huge amounts of data, instead of a positive statement that state what it actually is. Thus, the term is ill-defined and overly broad.
		The definition of Big Data is relative, not absolute.
		Hadoop, as a very specialized technology, has become the beneficiary of great marketing and widespread buy-in from pundits. However, Hadoop ecosystems needs to expand basic HDFS and MapReduce capabilities in order to be be widely accepted for handling a wide range of needs for integration of data.
		A key to understanding "Big Data" references 3 Vs, volume, velocity, and variety. Other Vs are mentioned by writers and thinkers as alliterations of these 3 Vs.
