Hi, hadoop is running on a linux box (mostly) and can run in a standalone installation for testing only. If you decide to use hadoop with hive or hbase you have to face a lot of more tasks:
- installation (whirr and Amazone EC2 as example) - write your own mapreduce job or use hive / hbase - setup sqoop with the terradata-driver You can easy setup part 1 and 2 with Amazon's EC2, I think you can also book Windows Server there. For a single query the best option I think before you install a hadoop cluster. best, Alex -- Alexander Lorenz http://mapredit.blogspot.com On Feb 6, 2012, at 8:11 AM, Ali Jooan Rizvi wrote: > Hi, > > > > I would like to know if hadoop will be of help to me?
