HadoopDB
An Architectural Hybrid of MapReduce and DBMS Technologies for Analytical Workloads.


HadoopDB is:

  1. A hybrid of DBMS and MapReduce technologies that targets analytical workloads
  2. Designed to run on a shared-nothing cluster of commodity machines, or in the cloud
  3. An attempt to fill the gap in the market for a free and open source parallel DBMS
  4. Much more scalable than currently available parallel database systems and DBMS/MapReduce hybrid systems.
  5. As scalable as Hadoop, while achieving superior performance on structured data analysis workloads
