Hadoop is best suited for distributed processing across many machines of large data sets. Most people use Hadoop to plow through large data sets in an offline fashion. One approach that you can use is to use Hadoop to process your data, then put it in an optimized form in HBase (i.e., similar to Google's Bigtable). Then, you can use HBase for querying the data in an online-access fashion. Refer to http://hadoop.apache.org/hbase/ for more information about HBase.
