Re: Fair comparison C vs HLASM

Big data is not what you have described.  It is enormous amount of data that 
you want to access, analyze and get results in reasonable time.  Reading it in 
VSAM records is obviously better than teading a stream, but reading 
1,000,000,000,000 records takes a lot of time in HLASM, COBOL, or C.  Resolving 
the big data isdues in platforms like Hadoop rely on parallel processing.  That 
could be done in any of the sformentioned languges providing the right 
design.Moreover, a lot of big data is unstructured and cannot easily be 
transformed to unified recordsZe'ev
