Hadoop and Django, is it possible?

Question

From what I understood, Hadoop is a distributed storage system thingy. However what I don\'t really get is, can we replace normal RDBMS(MySQL, Postgresql, Oracle) with Hadoop? O

Answer 1

Basic (!) example of Django integration with Hadoop [REMOVED LINK]

I use Oozie REST api for job execution, and 'hadoop cat' for grabbing job results (due to HDFS' distributed nature). The better appoach is to use something like Hoop for getting HDFS data. Anyway, this is not a simple solution.

P.S. I've refactored this code and placed it into https://github.com/Obie-Wan/django_hadoop. Now it's a separate django app.
