re: The "relational database management systems have some catching up to do in
certain specialized use-cases such as event processing" quote in context.
It was a paraphrase of statements made by Oracle.
In the white white paper that accompanied the release of Oracle
NoSQL Database, Oracle said: “The Oracle NoSQL Database, with its ‘No Single
Point of Failure’ architecture, is the right solution when data access is
‘simple’ in nature and application
demands exceed the volume or latency capability of traditional data management
solutions [emphasis added]. For example, click-stream data from high volume
web sites, high-throughput event processing and social networking
communications all represent application domains that produce extraordinary
volumes of simple keyed data. Monitoring online retail behavior, accessing
customer profiles, pulling up appropriate customer ads and storing and
forwarding real-time communication are examples of domains requiring the
ultimate in low-latency access. Highly distributed applications such as
real-time sensor aggregation and scalable authentication also represent domains
well-suited to Oracle NoSQL Database.”Andy Mendelsohn said as much at the
“Making SQL Great Again
(SQL is Huuuuuge)” at YesSQL Summit 2016. The complete video of the panel
discussion has been published by Oracle Corporation on the Oracle
Channel on YouTube. I posted the transcript
on my blog.A NoSQL management systems is a physical optimization for
certain use-cases and therefore is faster than relational database management
systems for the use-cases for which it has been physically optimized. See The
Rise
and Fall of the NoSQL Empire with comments by Chris Date.

Oracle also has a very compelling NoSQL database. In some testing a customer
did, they found it to be VERY fast compared to other NoSQL offerings. It is
based on the Oracle Berkeley DB (Java Edition).

It is one thing to pivot the entire company in a single direction.
Oracle Cloud is not "some catching up", but direction for the entire
corporate. Oracle has made no pretense to make a "Big Data" their
focus.
It is another thing to offer a capability to augment existing
capabilities (i.e. Big Data) - this is not a refutation of either
relational technology nor an embrace of Big Data and NoSQL, but
rather an acknowledgement that the need exists and the capability
should be supported.
So interpreting these actions as admission that "relational
database management systems have some catching up to do in certain
specialized use-cases such as event processing" is reasonable,
in my opinion.
Just my own US$0.02... maybe there really is an underlying quote in
context... :)

Spring Conference: Where SQL and NoSQL come together (with
hands-on labs and cherries on top)
The inventor of relational theory, Dr. Edgar Codd, had the
last word on NoSQL more than thirty years ago when he said
“Only if the performance requirements are extremely severe
should buyers rule out present relational DBMS products.” The
bottom line is that Oracle professionals need to learn about
NoSQL since, as admitted by Oracle Corporation, relational
database management systems have some catching up to do in
certain specialized use-cases such as event processing. Our
conference director has therefore created a fabulous
agenda combining the best of SQL and NoSQL (with
hands-on labs and cherries on top).
The conference is free for members and their guests,
first-time NoCOUG conference attendees, PayPal employees and
students. Register at http://nocoug.org/rsvp.html.
