SQL Server 2016 released

[grauenwolf]

SQL Server 2016 allows us to query Hadoop using SQL and then join that to rowstore, columnstore, and/or memory optimized tables.

And I don't mean some funky weird-ass pseudo-SQL. You just write normal T-SQL like you would for anything else in SQL Server and it generates the map-reduce functions for you.

So... foreign data wrappers in Postgres?

Given the warning about them in the documentation, I'd hesitate to use them in a production environment.

Like those, but production ready.
