I am still new to large data, but isn't a solution like Redshift similar to Google's Big Query in that it only works with data that has a schema? How might one use Redshift with a db thats originally in Mongo?

You won't fit that much data into Mongo anyways, so does it matter?
People have been apparently storing 3TB of data in MongoDB.

So I guess it does matter.

Impose a schema.
Is there an easy way to go back and forth between data with schema and data without? I'd love the benefits of this for queries, but for the production side of things, imposing a schema would be costly.
