You're right that most of my big-data experience is batch work, and outside of finance. I guess I'm finding it hard to envision the kind of data where you'd want to work on the whole set, but that set's small enough to fit into memory - for real-time analytics wouldn't you be wanting to stream data and reduce it to the representation you want as it comes in?
