Distributed SQL queries are cool and accessible to people but I feel like projects that apply relational languages to event data don't make much sense. If I have click stream data then I'm more interested in knowing what users are doing after they performed action "A", "B" & "C" than rolling up how many users performed a single action "A". SQL falls flat on its face for this type of analysis. Also, the name also threw me off. I thought it was "Citrus" and not "Citus". [Full disclosure: I am writing an open source, distributed, behavioral database - https://github.com/skylandlabs/sky]

Thanks for sharing Michael - Trecul looks to be the first OSS release from Akamai (at least on GitHub)? While we're on the subject of high-performance alternatives to Hive for event analysis, we've been watching the development of Ben Johnson's behavioural db, called Sky, with interest: https://github.com/skylandlabs/sky
