Abstract: The data from hospitals around the area (city, state or country) is huge. Handling it through traditional RDBMS will be inefficient and cumbersome because the data from various hospitals won’t be in the same format. Another reason is RDBMS doesn’t offer an efficient way to handle unstructured data (i.e. Media files).Thirdly, as the data becomes voluminous the time for retrieval increases exponentially. Hadoop has many advantages if used to store all the medical data of the patient and also media files related to it (i.e. X-Ray reports, sonography reports and videos of operation). This paper gives overview of Hadoop and its components and also comparison between Hadoop and RDBMS.
