Have you read the papers on map-reduce? It seems that you might be able to answer the question yourself.
In particular, though, - if you want real-time response, map-reduce in general and hadoop specifically is probably not the answer you need. - if your problem is just to process independent chunks which can then be later recombined and you care about throughput instead of latency, then map-reduce might be very good. - you should realize that using hadoop, which is typical open source software, puts a substantial burden on you to find solutions. Members of the community will help you, but they will help you enormously more if you make a strong effort to inform yourself first.
