I have been using and evangelizing ruby stack (<a href="http://www.slideshare.net/parolkar/ruby-for-soul-of-bigdata-nerds">http://www.slideshare.net/parolkar/ruby-for-soul-of-bigdata-nerds</a>) for a large scale analytics system.<div>
<br></div><div>The question I would ask is What kind of system are you building?</div><div>There are two worlds in BigData, The Batch Processing world (Hadoop) and Stream Processing world (STORM)</div><div>Hadoop Streaming allows you to hook any scripting language (use Ruby)  for writing Map-Reduce on the other hand STORM has jruby wrappers to help you write topologies.</div>
<div><br></div><div>In most of the use cases, I see people using Hadoop as large scale event storage and use Hive to aggregate data into an Analytical DB which serves Dashboards & Data Scientists.</div><div><br></div>
<div>If you are starting afresh, I would instead suggest to use service like <a href="http://www.treasure-data.com">http://www.treasure-data.com</a> to abstract away all the heavy-duty infrastructure and work with SQL-like interface. You can collect event logs in scalable manner using Fluend (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9CX8zfH6lU">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9CX8zfH6lU</a>)</div>
