Hadoop is specifically for clustered computer, it doesn't really make sense otherwise. Like the speaker said, it's really simplified (though you can do a lot of stuff with map/reduce).
In some ways the guy is probably blowing some steam, simply grabbing a bigger computer isn't always the best option, that's why clustered computing was even invented. I do think he has a point that people reach for it sooner than they need to. I've made that mistake before, and I just ended up settling for the pipeline approach.
- switch33 13y agoThe other point i'm trying to really make is maybe hadoop does serve some purpose but there could be an easier/better approach for parallelism. If we focused harder on reliability and another service "like hadoop" would probably be created but for non-cluster/multicpu. And doing some of the decently sized tasks we would have better, faster, and more reliable tools at hand.
