the data preparation work involved in doing anything trivial with that setup is mind boggling. I'm going to assume that this very cavalier assumption comes from a place of relatively little knowledge. Do some of this and you'll realize very soon you'd rather shoot yourself than doing complex data prep on constantly evolving schema using schema-on-write tools.
