如果2012年是Big data大肆宣传、试点研究的一年，那么，2013年将会进行生产部署，早期的投资回报等。到2014年，big data项目和系统就可能成为一个老生常谈的话题。
今年，big data与云计算一同成为技术术语。这个术语含义很广，但是太多的使用让人们忘记了它的定义。顺便提一下，这个定义通常围绕着速度（数据移动很快），体积（数据的量很大）和种类（非结构化和结构化的信息）。

英文原文：Big data: How the revolution may play outBy Larry Dignan for Between the Lines | November 26, 2012 -- 10:00 GMT (02:00 PST)
If 2012 was the year of big data hype, interest and pilot projects, 2013 will bring production deployments, early returns on investment and a bit of disruption. By 2014, big data projects and systems are likely to be commonplace.
This year, big data became a tech term on par with cloud computing. The term means a lot yet is becoming used so much it loses its definition. By the way that definition typically revolves around velocity (data is moving fast), volume (there's too much of it) and variety (unstructured and structured information).
