Hadoop: Is There a Metadata Mess Waiting in the Wings?


By  <http://insideanalysis.com/author/robinjamespatrickbloor/> Robin Bloor

 

Now you can, if you want, treat a database table as a key-value store and
define only the index. But that is regarded as bad practice, and it usually
is. Add to this the fact that the legacy databases were never built to scale
out and you quickly conclude that Hadoop can do something that a database
cannot. It can become a data lake - a vast and very scalable data staging
area that will accommodate any data you want, no matter how "unstructured"
it is.
