Hi Folks, I'm considering the pros and cons of Google App Engine compared to Hadoop/Hbase/Hive/Cascading/Amazon EC2 .
Has anyone looked into this question and tried to come up with reasoned argument why Hadoop is better? If not, would this mailing list be a good place to start discussing it? Basically the main advantage of using GAE is that you don't have to worry about setting up a cluster, or distributed database, or anything like that - it is done for you. But you are sort of tied in to google's way of doing things. Of course hadoop doesn't help at all with actual web serving. It's latency is too high. Alex
