You're absolutely right. Probably my estimate of "anything greater than 1TB" was not quite the right number. At that point, though, careful indexing is probably the more expert option. It's easy to throw data into EMR now if you're not super concerned about performance/cost, and it doesn't require you to think through how your data will need to be indexed to support your future needs.
