Permissions based Big Data External access and CRUD
I was asked how I would construct a solution that would use SharePoint group permissions to filter data from a huge external data source.  Additionally, CRUD functions were needed.  BCS was said to be "to clunky".  Your thoughts are appreciated.

why is BCS "too clunky"?

but even still, SP groups are a bad design... BCS or not... you should really be using AD groups.

Thanks for your time.  Huh... I asked why not AD and was told "that's to much work" (great minds).  All-in-all however the real question I can't wrap my head around (no experience) is dealing with huge amounts of external data (yah big biz) and creating a CRUD environment in SP2013 from external dbsource.  I don't know if the person asking me this was having a hard time writing the custom BCS connection or if "it" fancied a CSOM/LINQ solution thinking it to be "more mature".  I am interested in whatever is "best practices" and is most capable of handling massive data.  Ideas are appreciated - and needed.

Cheers
