Ask HN: what would you build if you could analyze trillions of rows?

1 pointsby timfalmost 15 years ago
With all the Google I/O news, I failed to notice the BigQuery description that reported it was geared towards "analysis over datasets containing trillions of records" ( http://googlecode.blogspot.com/2010/05/bigquery-and-prediction-api-get-more.html ).<p>What interesting things would you do with BigQuery which you could not do before as an independent developer?

My thoughts are revolving around server log analysis. Google Storage (where the data needs to be) could be where I choose to warehouse every server event for my projects because of the BigQuery feature.
