If it is just a GB then you probably don't need Hadoop, unless there is some serious processing involved that hasn't been explained or you already have the data on HDFS, or you happen to have a Hadoop cluster that you have access to and the amount of data is going to grow in size. Then it could be worth it to write a M/R job to load the data into a DB.
