Big Data, Small Data, Big Visualization

Big Data, Small Data, Big Visualization: Ever since I became a Cloudera Certified Developer for Apache Hadoop, I've been walking around with a hammer written on it "Map Reduce" looking for Big Data nails to pound.  Finally, a real world problem from a customer came to my attention where a Hadoop implementation will solve his dilemma. Given a 250GB (I know, I know, this is _not_ big) CSV data set of demographic data consisting of gender, race, age, income and of course location, and given a set of Point of Interest locations, generate a 50 mile heatmap for each demographic attribute for each the POI locations.
