s what Hadoop gives you for free.

It isn't free if you don't already have the cluster set up to use it.

And once you've gone through the cluster set-up process, just in order to deliver a couple of hundred k of filenames to the clients, they still have to get access to each of the huge image files, which they cannot do in-situ, they would have to be shipped to the local HDFS filesystem. And then Hadoop has nothing whatsoever to offer in the processing of that file.

And if you can think of some legitimate reason for going through all of that in order to distribute a few thousand filenames...

Let's face it. Your suggestion is a crock.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
