Hi All, Great for Gregory to start the thread that people can know each other much better, at least in Apache HAWQ community!
I am Ruilong Huo and I am from HDB/HAWQ engineering team in Pivotal. I am from Teradata and joined Pivotal after that. It's my honor to be part of HAWQ project at its early stage. I am a fan of RDBMS (especially MPP database), big data, and cloud technology that changes the IT infrastructure of the enterprises and helps to do information transformation in a very large extent. I hope that with joint effort from hawq community, it will become even greater product in big data area, especially in SQL-on-Hadoop category.
