Apache Hadoop Goes Realtime at Facebook

Summary: Facebook Messages runs on Hadoop with HBase to scale to billions of messages daily, arguing Hadoop/HBase beat Cassandra and Voldemort for realtime and scalability. It outlines Hadoop enhancements, configuration tradeoffs, and positions Hadoop-based solutions as a model over sharded MySQL for web-scale apps. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
