Helios also serves as a reference architecture for how Microsoft envisions its next generation of distributed big-data processing systems being built. What follows is a discussion of where big data systems might be heading, heavily inspired by the remarks in this paper, but with several of my own thoughts mixed in.

And this was where a new evolution of data models began: Key-Value storage is a very simplistic, but very powerful model. For example, a user account can be modeled as a set of entries with composite keys like UserID_name, UserID_email, UserID_messages and so on. Messages can be grouped into buckets, for example, daily buckets.
