Subject: Re: using Hadoop as an integration platform

Hadoop provides standardized interfaces/formats/execution models/etc.,
so it can be used for integration (and indeed, I've done that).
However, it differs from most ESB's in that it is very batch oriented,
rather than real-time/streaming/queuing oriented. Consider whether
your integration needs fit in to a batch model.
