1) Why "Reactive" ? http://www.reactivemanifesto.org/
- react to events
- react to load
- react to failure
- react to users
3) Why "Big Data" ? http://www.bigdata-startups.com/best-practices/
4) Why "Open Source" ?
Security, Quality, Customizability, Freedom, Flexibility, Interoperability, Auditability, Support Options, Cost, Try Before You Buyhttp://www.pcworld.com/article/209891/10_reasons_open_source_is_good_for_business.html

The list of open source framework/tools I have tried:
● Netty (http://netty.io/) a framework using reactive programming pattern for scaling HTTP system easier, by JBoss http://www.jboss.org
https://blog.twitter.com/2013/netty-4-at-twitter-reduced-gc-overhead
● Apache Kafka (http://kafka.apache.org/) a publish-subscribe messaging rethought as a distributed commit log, open sourced by Linkedin.
