Yes. Plus all the SQL-like things you can do now. For example storing data on S3 and then querying it with AWS Athena is a simple and powerful way to keep a huge archive of data that you may want to query at some point.
Also, never underestimate the power and speed of a well tuned SQL-family server/cluster, even at surprisingly large scale. A lot of use cases for the older “Hadoop Cluster” type stuff have been overtaken by these approaches. I’ve seen a lot of operations spend silly sums to build ultimately quite clunky Hadoop-based systems when really they probably just needed one half decent SQL admin and a well tuned cluster.
