    I've not rejected Hadoop. I even suggested it here a couple of weeks ago.

    I'm simply not recommending it for this as it is inappropriate. To summarise: You cannot force fit variable size and (typically huge) 3D image files into fix-sized aggregated packets; nor can you process images line-by-line from STDIN as is required by Hadoop streaming.

    I'm not rejecting the tool; I'm reject the suggestion for mis-application of that tool. The OP reads and makes up his own mind on the matter.

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