Distributed RDBS and Grid Computing


1 Answer(s)


Hi Ajay,
Yes, we have existing distributed database and grid computing for data storage.
Hadoop is environment where processing and storage task are performed.
Here are some big difference to understand better:
1. Hadoop is capable of store NoSQL data and also process them.
2. Its has hdfs storage which give high fault tolerance to avoid data lose in case of failure.
3. Its works on multiple commodity machine means, you can split the task in multiple machine and share the load and do the process in shorter period then tradional database system.

Hope this helps.
Thanks.
