Chiranjeevi,

   - HDFS works as distributed system. Thus, reads can be served from
   different nodes at the source.
   - Not all databases are distributed. If your database server is not
   distributed then you might face issues for parallel read beyond certain no.
   of partitions (say 4-5 partitions)
   - Ready to use applications for these usecases are available on
   https://www.datatorrent.com/apphub/
   - Source code for these apps is Apache licensed under :
   https://github.com/datatorrent/app-templates
   - I would suggest to do some sample tests for the workloads you are
   looking for and take the decision. Kindly share your results for the
   benefit of the community.
