Hi We've been thinking of using Hadoop for a decision making system which will analyze telecom-related data from various sources to take certain decisions. The data can be huge, of the order of terabytes, and can be stored as CSV files, which I understand will fit into Hadoop as Tom White mentions in the Rough Cut Guide that Hadoop is well suited for records. The question I want to ask is whether it is possible to perform statistical analysis on the data using Hadoop and MapReduce. If anyone has done such a thing, we'd be very interested to know about it. Is it also possible to create a workflow like functionality with MapReduce?
