Dear Ashish,
what you are asking for involves at least a few weeks of dedicated
understanding of your used case and then it takes at least 3 to 4 months to
even propose a solution. You can even build a fantastic data warehouse just
using C++. The matter depends on lots of conditions. I just think that your
approach and question needs a lot of modification.

Gourav
