Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

For the last five years or so, it’s been pretty easy to pretend you knew something about Big Data. You went to the cocktail party–the one with all the dudes–grabbed a drink and then said "Hadoop" over and over and over again. People nodded. Absurdly lucrative job offers rolled in the next day. Simple.

Well, Google (GOOG) officially put an end to the good times this week. During some talks at the company’s annual developer conference, Google executives declared that they’re over Hadoop. It’s yesterday’s buzzword. Anyone who wants to be a true Big Data jockey will now need to be conversant in Flume, MillWheel, Google Cloud Dataflow, and Spurch. (Okay, I made the last one up.)
